A stupendous yoga studio. I've really enjoyed the inviting presence of The Yoga Tree and grateful to have it in Fremont. With instructors who care to know me by name, challenge and encourage me, and make me look forward to a lifelong practice of yoga.

I love the Yoga Tree. Beautiful, clean space. Great teachers. I suggest coming to a lot of classes here so you can try them all. There is so much variety offered and everyone is so knowledgeable and caring sometimes I don't want to leave and just stay for the next class.

This is the first studio I've tried since moving here and getting vaccinated and I know I'll be coming back for a long time! The owner and instructor Suzanne is a great teacher and has a wonderful presence. The space is open, clean, and well ventilated. The in person classes are not crowded and spaced out, and the studio still offers online classes. Class prices are very reasonable. Parking can be a little tricky but you can find free street parking around. So happy to practice here!

The Yoga Tree is my go-to studio in Seattle! The teachers are patient and kind, but also encourage you to grow in your practice. Jessica Jobaris is my favorite teacher! She is funny, caring and has a great sense of humor, which I appreciate when we adventure into new poses. I also appreciate her wisdom.

I've been going to the Yoga Tree for years - I literally took the beginner classes here about 15 years ago and really haven't left. But it's time for me to move on. This has never been a Type A studio which I appreciated but it's gotten slower and gentler over the years. Given the times I can go to yoga, it's now impossible for me to go to a practice and get what I would think of as a workout.
This is a great place if you've been injured, ill, in rehab, etc. But if you're looking for core strength, upper body strength and more - this isn't really it. Just know that going in, you won't be disappointed.

Great instructors who focus on a wholesome practice. Many different types of practice are offered, and all are done just as well as the last. This is just as good a studio to go sweat in as it is to go meditate in.
