NOW Yoga is the best! After covid closed my former studio, I searched all over the Portland and the surrounding cities for a studio that felt like home. I found that here! NOW has the best teachers, tons of classes at all times of the day, 3 locations. The vibe is peaceful and welcoming. I love all the teachers here and feel grateful to be part of this lovely community! The comment earlier I read about it being expensive….nah. I’d sure like to know where they’ve seen it more affordable. The prices are very competitive, especially for the quality of teachers and multiple locations.

The experience I had today at the Vinyasa flow class taught by Valerie was one I will never forget. Not only did I absolutely love the atmosphere of the facility, but the class itself left me rejuvenated for the entire day. Valerie went above and beyond to make me feel supported, and like I was getting the most out of the class, as I had never done Vinyasa flow before.

What a beautiful and serene space to practice in! The overhead lantern lights provide a soft light, the floor is clean. It's a distraction free space that really allows for focus on the practice.

The space has a grounded, peaceful energy that’s hard to explain β€” you just feel it. The teachers are kind, present, and truly know their stuff. There’s a strong sense of community without any pressure, and you’re welcomed just as you are. Every class helped me reconnect with myself in a deeper way. Grateful for this studio and everything it’s opened up for me.

I visit different studios when I travel and have been to Now twice so far in N Portland. Today I had one of the best classes of my life with Majo. I want to do a special shout out for her because it is not easy to find great instructors that are passionate guides, creative, skilled and able to lead a class with power and confidence. Majo brings it all. Her flow is flawless and her queueing is on point.

Kudos to Now for having such a wonderful teacher in the staff. I will be back to her class next time I come to town.

Thank you.

This is a beautiful space, the students are friendly, and the staff/teachers are welcoming. I can't give it five stars because the rates are quite steep, but if that doesn't bother you, you'll love it.

Galen, was great! I took the restorative yoga class with her and her movements were very intuitive and she was the exact right mix of the gentle and hard. I left feeling so relaxed and so taken care of in the yoga space. Thanks everyone!

I LOVED my reiki session with Filipa. I am new to reiki and was so impressed by how she spent time at the beginning going over every moment of the experience. Because of this I knew exactly what to expect and was able to lean in and relax. She was very generous with her time after the session to thoroughly share everything and answer all of my questions. Highly recommend if you've ever been curious about reiki! Thanks Filipa!

I’ve been going to NOW for about a year now. I’m so thankful I found this studio! I have enjoyed all of the classes I have been to. Including Slow Flow, Yin, Vinyasa, Cardio Dance, and even a Gong Sound Bath.

The intentionality of this space is unmatched. I’ve been a part of numerous studios around town and am so glad I found one that aligns with my community values. The teachers provide supportive and culturally appropriate guidance that honors the land and people where this practice originates. The studio provides scholarships and discounted rates for underserved communities and allocates safe spaces for diverse identities to practice in a safe, welcoming environment. It is more than a yoga studio, it is an opportunity to build community; the unique workshops and bonus social offerings demonstrate just that. Come build with us.

Melissa and Augusta, the owners, are generous, kind and creative in addition to being wonderful teachers. The space they have created is lovely, peaceful and welcoming just like them. Great classes. Lots of time options and many extra workshops. I love this studio and am so happy to have found them. Also, supporting a small, women owned, all inclusive business feels just as good as the yoga ❀️

This studio is comforting and clean and the instructors are crazy good. Class props are well-kept and I love the little touches like spare hair-ties, fruit, and tea.

A variety of classes are scheduled 7 days a week throughout the day which I so appreciate as someone with a highly variable schedule. Love love the yin yoga offerings (Sarasvati is amazing) and Kubo's strength class as change of pace.

Outdoor and rooftop classes in the summer, special events, retreats etc - this type of thoughtful programming is just another reason to love the studio.

Good evening everyone! Just wanted to shout out this studio. Especially Coach Kubo, they are game changer.
The atmosphere of kindness and intensity strikes a good balance. Good music, good laugh's couldn't ask for more.
I've gained so much from this class, dealing with a few injuries coming in they have all gotten better. Do yourself a favor and give their 11am Saturday strength class a try .
Thanks Now Yoga and Coach Kubo!!!

NOW yoga was the first place I felt community when I first moved to Portland 6 years ago. There are so many wonderful teachers and offerings and you are always greeted with immense kindness. The studio space is beautiful and serene with lots of high quality props available so you can support your practice (especially love using them for yin and restorative.) Love practicing at NOW!

I love this studio. I started off using Classpass to attend Lauren Bielenberg's Sculpt + Flow classes and ended up just getting a membership to the studio because I wanted to be here all the time! Lauren is an amazing teacher. She is personable and approachable, her flows are challenging, functional, and interesting, yet accessible. She does a fantastic job of not only offering modifications but also remembering the unique needs of clients and supporting them individually. I've been to vinyasa classes with several different instructors here and I've never been disappointed. There is a beautiful, welcoming, and vibrant community here and I hope to be a part of it for some time!

This studio is gorgeous and has some of the best teachers I’ve found in Portland. I’ve toured several studios downtown, in the Pearl, and NW, but this studio by far out performs the others on the North side and offers a wide range of classes at convenient times. The amazing decor (paper lantern goodness!) and cleanliness of the studio enhances the yoga experience of each class. I particularly like the balance between a traditional yoga approach as well as options to take HIIT style classes. Literally something for everyone. Has early morning and late evening classes for traditional work schedules. Classes are not packed. Front desk is always friendly. PARKING IN THE PARKING GARAGE ROCKS! I have tried 3-4 other studios that are closer to where I live but still choose Namaste over those studios because it’s flat out better and worth the money (same or less prices for better experiences).

Definitely try out the new student special!

As a native to Portland, I've tried out many of the local yoga studios and Namaste on Williams is definitely one of my favorites. The space is clean and serene- thoughtfully designed and invokes a sense of calm and lightness at first step through the door. Great variety of class and schedule offerings. I love that their classes strike the right balance of challenge and relaxation, always with a thoughtful message and a strong focus on the breath.

What I've come to appreciate most at NOW is the warm and welcoming community. Having been a member for several months now, the instructors have made a point to get to know me and always ask how I'm doing. They often host events to support local causes, artists, and other small businesses. It's such a supportive group of people and I'm thankful to be a part of it.

She was so calm and encouraging and two girls even said it was the best yoga class they'd experienced! The studio is bright and inviting. I wish I lived closer so I could practice here more!

Beautiful studio and a wonderful vinyasa flow class. I am early in my practice and I feel challenged but also free to move and flow at my own pace. The instructors are amazing and you leave tired from the workout but also refreshed in the mind. Thanks NOW for creating such a wonderful place to to learn.
