Reviews of Yess Yoga

Ann Asche

More than a yoga practice, Yess Yoga is an inclusive space, a warm and welcome environment to come home to. It's about community, authenticity, acceptance, and coming to your mat as you are. I appreciate the varied yoga classes and the unique styles of each instructor. The space itself is beautiful, with welcoming plants, subtle earthy scents, and big windows spilling natural light. I dearly love this studio and the whole community in it!

Ness Oszast

I love this studio to pieces. To be perfectly honest, I used to have such negative biases about how hipster dipster I saw yoga to be. I came from a history of powerlifting and weight training in the gym. I still had similar skepticism when I began attending CorePower classes in my area, but wanted to keep an open mind and desperately needed an activity that got me moving and set me up for an optimistic day. When I started attending this studio, I changed my tune quickly and began looking forward to every class I was able to attend. The space is welcoming, with many windows, no mirrors in sight (to stare at all class wondering if you’re moving “correctly”), and a jungle of plants in both studio spaces. I can also appreciate the library of books on the first level delving into the culture of yoga, Buddhism and self-awareness. I’m not really sure if the books are available to buy or rent or what, but I can appreciate the importance placed on expanding your knowledge. I feel that this studio and its instructors do a great job of honoring the original practice of yoga and including not only an opportunity to really understand your body and its needs/capabilities but also incorporating themes of mindfulness and self-improvement that you can take with you for the rest of your day. I live in Minnetonka and generally travel to this studio 2-3x a week. I’d find something closer, but I really don’t want to now that I know what I’d be missing at Yess, *shrug*.

Yess offers an absolutely joyous, and grounding experience in which to practice Yoga!! From the moment one walks into the space, one is greeted with warmth, love, and a calming ambiance, The air smells gently of soothing incense; the studios brims with plants, and depending on the hour, there is candlelight signaling a quiet reverence. Each teacher brings their own impressive body of work, and allows for all different styles to be practiced. Lucia has created a safe and loving place to be yourself, and to be in community with all. My absolute favorite place to practice!!

JP Peanasky

Yess Yoga is such a beautiful space. Each teacher brings a personal and unique lens to their classes, while respecting the roots of Yoga. From the first day I stepped into the studio I was welcomed with open arms into a supportive community. I would highly recommend Yess to anyone looking for a studio to practice at or looking for a teacher training to deepen their practice.

Zoë Lillian

Honestly, cannot speak more highly of Yess. I am super picky about my yoga classes, teachers and the playlists…all their instructors are awesome. They have done a great job curating a calming, spa-like space. Super clean, well maintained and makes me feel fancy!! Instruction is approachable, and they have a nice selection of complimentary props so you can achieve your best practice. Plus they’re a woman-run small biz. Also…they have a parking lot!!? These guys check all my boxes.

I first came to Yess Yoga because of the location and stayed for the community. Every class or Teacher Training module I have attended has been welcoming and just what I needed at the time. I really liked the way Lucia taught Vinyasa and how in the teacher training she encouraged me to find my own voice. I also took Astrology and Tarot with Andrea, and am still amazed with the amount of knowledge she has. Most recently I finished the Mudra and Mantra module and have enjoyed adding them to my own practice. I highly recommend taking any of the modules or classes at Yess! The environment is so inclusive and honors the history and culture of Yoga. I have hard time putting into words just the impact that the people at Yess Yoga (teachers and students) have had on me. Thank you!

Liz Flavin

From the moment I first walked into Yess Yoga, I could sense there was something special about the studio. In addition to the stunning aesthetic, the heart-centered staff and the community of yogi's all contribute to an experience that is welcoming, nurturing and inclusive. I highly recommend Yess Yoga and truly believe there is something for everyone within it's walls.

Phillip Trebatoski

The staff, the atmosphere, and the energy at Yess Yoga are second to none in the metro area. If you’re looking for a beautiful, clean yoga studio that tends to the mind, body and spirit, this is the place.

Amy Daher-Waller

Yess Yoga is a wonderful studio to practice with. I’ve done a handful of workshops over the years and they’ve all been delightful. Yess Yoga was the first studio I did an online class with after the COVID shutdown. Lucia taught and it was incredible how well her teaching translated to the online format. The class was so moving and much needed in such a stressful time. Can’t wait to check out the new studio in person!

Lynn Salmon-Easter

I can’t say enough good things about Yess Yoga. It is a warm + welcoming community with a big heart that provides inclusive and trauma informed classes 🧡 They have a beautiful new building with lovely art and lots of natural light to boot. When I attend Yess Yoga, I know I am a part of a community and business that cares and is changing the world in profound + meaningful ways (one person and class at a time).!!

I recently moved to Minneapolis and I have been looking for an inviting yoga studio whose main focus isn't getting sweaty and burning calories. I'm so happy I came across Yess Yoga! I have only taken classes online so far, but the instructors have still made me feel welcome and like I am a part of the in-studio class. I look forward to practicing in the space soon!

Jenny Falk

Yess Yoga is so wonderful! Lucia is so kind and made me feel super welcome as a new student to the studio. She taught a unique sequence that kept me on my toes and allowed space for me to play during my practice and not take myself too seriously. And the PLANTS. 😍🌱🌿🌾🌵

I don’t even know where to begin. I first heard about Yess through an Instagram give away and then decided to try it out. Their classes were inclusive to all body types and relaxing. Yoga for me at times has been stressful when I feel a lot of pressure to be flexible and be able to do all the poses. However, here they encourage you and actually show you what to do and give modifications. Big draw for me was their teacher training. So previous to taking my first Yess class I had been practicing at another studio and doing YouTube Yoga for 2+ years. I was really wanting to teach yoga and make it accessible for all so, I started looking at programs and I could not find one that was affordable nor did it certify me in the way that I wanted until Yess. Yess is intentional about providing you the tools and by the end I will be certified in three different styles (Vinyasa/Yin/Restorative) I’ll be finished and full 200 RYT Certified by the end of the Fall. I can’t say enough how much love and respect that I have for this studio. All the teachers are simply one of a kind and are so amazing. Yess is a GEM of a studio!

Maria Finsness

I walked past Yess Yoga one day after a difficult experience in a studio I had been frequenting and in general a difficult time in my life. I quickly learned that I had stumbled into a vibrant and supportive community, meeting a lot of cool people. I also realized I had been practicing yoga for 5 years within certain boundaries that were not benefiting me in the ways it once had. I dove into the asana practice of Yin, which helped so much with physical tension, stress and mental awareness. Going through the 200 hr yoga teacher training highlights so many techniques and tools, which could lead you to a life-time of study. I am so proud of the new studio and forever home, and I look forward to seeing it alive and vibrant for decades to come.

elisabeth pletcher

Yess Yoga is the first studio where I have taken the leap and purchased a full year pass, it is that good. There are a ton of class time options, meaning I really have no excuse not to get there a couple of times a week. They are beginning to offer a wider variety of classes (Yin! Yay!!) and the community that comes together in the space is amazing. That is all without even mentioning the thoughtful instruction and hands on adjustments....I would not hesitate to recommend Yess Yoga to anyone!

Sara Funk

I've been going to Yess Yoga since the start of the year. It is a very welcoming and warm studio and the teachers are fabulous. It's different than your normal studio, we laugh and chat right up to class time, laughing when falling is encouraged. There is never a sense of competition or feeling 'not good enough' to be in the class. And all the teachers are so happy to be there working with us. Lucia is the center of all this positive energy, the minute you step in the studio she becomes your friend and is excited to have you in her studio. I love the new teacher class program, it's a great opportunity to support someone just getting started.

Alexandra Strong

Literally one of my most favorite places on this planet! Yess Yoga has absolutely changed my life. I always knew I wanted to practice yoga, but spent years putting it off out of fear. I finally came to Yess about two years ago, as a beginner, and Anna's yin class kept me coming back week after week. I loved Yess so much that I took their Yoga Teacher Training last summer and it was the best decision I've ever made for myself. I've grown deeper, richer, and wiser thanks to this warm, loving, and accepting community.

Andrew Zay

I’ve practiced here loads of times, and it’s a delight! The studio has a very grounded atmosphere in terms of the decor, and I’ve felt well-guided and supported by every instructor I’ve met here. And, in addition to their yoga classes, they often have other related kinds of events in their space. I went to a moon-celebration for one of those super moons we’ve seen the last couple years and it was such an enlightening experience, the practitioner/proctor combined sources from many traditional perspectives across cultures on the lunar cycle and its role in human life. A wonderful place to practice!

Andrea

Yess Yoga is a community gem in a class of its own. Through my involvement with Yess studio over the years, I not only have practiced numerous styles of yoga with some of the most gifted and inspired teachers in Minneapolis, but have also developed cherished connections with dozens of Yess students, teachers, and friends. While upholding its community values of diversity, inclusion, body positivity, and social justice, the approach of Yess is always one of sweetness and celebration, which is a breath of fresh air for activists and politically minded community members. The yoga teacher training at Yess is also highly unique, with its rare emphasis on authenticity and intuition, qualities that have been invaluable for me as I've gone on to become a yoga teacher in my own community. I wouldn't trade my experience in the 200-hour RYT training at Yess for anything. It was truly life-changing. Lastly, I just so value some of the unique modalities and cultural offerings that Yess features. This is a studio that honors and shares the ancient practices of astrology, tarot, and plant medicine, to name a few, offerings that I simply do not find at other yoga studios in the metro area. I will always value my connection to Yess Yoga, a studio that truly fosters connection, growth, healing, and joy. Cannot recommend Yess highly enough!

Madeline Sorenson

Yess Yoga offered the most inspiring yoga classes I have ever taken. Lucia is an amazing story teller and teacher (along with all the other instructors!). The classes are fun, as challenging as you want them to be, and in an awesome, unpretentious location. The studio is a community of positivity, openness, and inspiring people. You will leave feeling fresh, light and loved.

Are you ready to get more out of your yoga experience? Just say Yess! Yess Yoga is the best yoga studio I have been to in MPLS. If you're looking for a class with more soul than the "corporate" yoga around town give Yess a try. Lucia is a great instructor, offering up her yogi wisdom, providing great hands-on adjustments, and creating a warm atmosphere for her students. Classes are tailored to the needs of the students participating each day, so each visit is an opportunity to try something new. The rates are much more affordable than other studios, and although the studio is cozy, there is always enough room if you come early.

Ana Pottratz Acosta

As a busy new mom looking to return to the practice of yoga, Yess Yoga has been the perfect place for me. Lucia and all of the other instructors foster an encouraging and "judgement free" environment that makes beginners and those who are a bit rusty and out of practice (like myself) feel welcome and at ease. At the same time, during each class, students are offered a number of variations in each pose that allows both new and experienced yogis to continue feeling challenged as their practice and skill improve. In a nutshell, if you're looking for an easygoing, open environment to get away for a brief "moment of zen" Yess Yoga is definitely the studio for you.

Leah Wirgau

beautifully lovely, loving, and welcoming space for all bodies and beings. focused on introspection, awareness, and community. teachers and classes are fantastic.

Emily Stock

Yess Yoga is a wonderful space to practice a variety of different yoga classes with encouraging teachers. It's a warm and welcoming community for anyone - beginners or pros. I highly recommend any of their classes!

Katie Hawkinson

I have practiced yoga at a number of yoga studios over the years (thanks to the ever-rotating selection offered through Groupon), but always left when my time was up and didn't return to the studio du jour. Yess Yoga is the first studio that I have truly fallen in love with - and have been practicing there consistently since my Groupon ended. The teachers are warm and welcoming and knowledgeable, all bringing their own unique approaches to each class...and they honestly want to get to know each student who comes to class. The studio itself is bright and cheerful, simple, uncluttered, and unpretentious. Lucia encourages each student to focus on their own individual practice, learn how to listen to their body, practice mindfulness, and grow in self-love. Yess Yoga is truly a gem of a yoga studio, and I cannot recommend it enough to any yogi, beginner or advanced.

Anne Rapp

My experience at Yess has been one of deep nourishment. I really enjoy the variety of classes and instructors, and the overall community vibe. It is welcoming to all! The space is beautiful and conducive for a great practice should you choose to come here.

Sarah Auna

Fresh, friendly and modern studio. Embodied principals of yoga on and off the mat. Body positive and actively engaged in social justice. A safe space for LGBTQIA+ students and teachers. All levels, all shapes, always peaceful and safe. Love Yess.

Jennifer Larson

Yess yoga has welcoming un-intimidating yoga classes – perfect for a beginner like me but great for any skill level!! Lucia is a great teacher and accommodates to everybody’s needs. I would recommend Yess Yoga to anyone interested in an unpretentious, enjoyable yoga experience.

Rachel Seady

Lucia is the kindest, most patient instructor I've yet to encounter in my yoga practice. She never points out your error in front of other students, but will gently reposition you in the correct pose. She pays attention to small details, for example she uses essential oils in her eye pillows for the last relaxing pose of the lesson. I also love her class schedule. There is a time that can work for anyone!

Anne Kealing

Lucia Yess is an warm, intuitive and encouraging leader. She tailors each practice to those present, teaching easier and more challenging modifications throughout each class. I have been able to have fun, learn new poses and expand my practice exponentially since I started attending classes at Yess Yoga.

Elizabeth Woell Rhode

This studio really has a niche in the warm atmosphere it creates. It is very much centered on your practice, and it remains very lighthearted and fun. At the start of each class the instructor asks for any requests. Even though I have only done one type of yoga at the studio it has never felt like a cookie cutter practice. I would highly recommend!

Chelsea Heath

This is one of my favorite places in the Twin Cities. Lucia Yess has created such a beautiful space, filled with warm, inviting energy and incredible instructors. I am so grateful for Yess Yoga every time I take a class. What an amazing place to practice!

Claire Fleming

I love Yess Yoga because of the sense of community there. I always make sure to build in time after class to chat with Lucia and my other classmates. She's created a great space for any level of yogi looking for relaxation, motivation or a laugh.

Callie .Lentz

I started taking classes here about a month ago and absolutely love it! Everyday teacher is so welcoming and the studio is gorgeous. Very accommodating to different bodies and skill levels!

Maria Zivkovic

Beautiful studio, amazing and genuine instructors making everyone feel comfortable no matter level of experience. So grateful for Yess Yoga!

Wendy A

Yess Yoga is amazing! If you are new to yoga or experienced they are welcoming to all. Everyone I have interacted with have all been super kind.

Kaitlin Westfall

This studio is one of my favorite yoga experiences. The classes are inclusive and thoughtful with unique sequences and knowledgeable teachers. Would recommend to anyone!

Mackenzie Jones

Gorgeous, welcoming space! I have only taken a few classes here so far, but they already stand out to me so much. I am so happy to have found a studio like this one in MPLS 🤍 …

ian planchon

Yess Yoga is the best place for yoga in Minneapolis. By far. The studio is warm and inviting. And the vibe is unpretentious and laid back. And it is affordable. If you're ever in the Twin Cities area, check it out.

Annette Barret

Took a class while visiting Minneapolis for work. Lovely class and very friendly people. I lost an earring which held great sentimental value for me and while not sure where I lost it, I reach out to Yess yoga and lo and behold, they found it and were kind enough to mail it to me! You guys rock!! Thank you 🙏. Namaste!

Lynn Melling

Yess Yoga is my favorite yoga studio in Minneapolis. It is a warm and welcoming place. All the instructors are fabulous. Highly, highly recommend.

Camille Forlano

I’ve taken their online classes and they have always been a great experience. I especially love Elizabeth’s classes; she’s incredibly inviting and a great teacher.

Hannah Reaume

As a newer MPLS resident, I was desperately seeking a community to be part of. Thanks to a new friend—I found YESS! It’s exactly what I needed, with values in alignment with my own. If you’re seeking an all-inclusive, multi-level studio with community at its core, try YESS—you can truly come as you are, here.
