Newport Power Yoga

my first yoga experience ever! i was incredibly stressed before hand and didn’t know what to expect but Katie made me feel so welcomed and comfortable and i was able to take the class at my own pace. i felt so empowered and energized after class, ill be back as soon as i can!

This place is amazing. All the bad reviews are all wrong and honestly are “first world problems” booohoo to all the Karens and Chads leaving bad reviews bec they have nothing else to do - bring your negativity elsewhere this place doesn’t need you anyways. Thank you for an amazing experience always!

While visiting Newport, I went to the $5 community classes Tuesday - Thursday so I can’t speak for the regular classes. Some of these classes are advertised as ‘All Levels’ but you need to have a more than just a basic understanding of yoga to know what poses to go into or you will be left in the dust trying to follow the class. Luckily, I could keep up but it also didn’t help that the teachers are mainly there to direct your flow and they hardly bothered to demonstrate a pose unless more than half were unfamiliar with the Sanskrit name. Also, these classes are HEATED! Please do yourself a favor and bring a towel because you will be dripping in an ocean of your own sweat regardless by the end of class. They also offer towels but they aren’t for free; however, they do provide stability blocks during practice free of charge. Overall, it was good to see a different teaching style of yoga than what I’m used to and it was a great workout. However, it’s misleading to say it’s for all levels (I would say I’m at a moderate level and these classes are for moderate to advanced) and I would disclose that these classes are heated. I did enjoy that the price was the same for everyone instead of an outrageous $15 or so for dropping in on the classes. Because of how inexpensive these community classes are, they fill up quickly and it can also get pretty crammed in their studio so get there early (10 min or so) before class to get a spot.

I was just recently cleared by my doctor to exercise again after a back injury. Before my injury I had been to this studio several times and was happy with the classes and location. I am so grateful the Newport Power Yoga is open and operating at this time, there are very few exercise options in RI right now and I do not have the discipline to practice at home. After the past year it feels so good to have a little normalcy, by the end of the sessions I often forget that we are even experiencing a "pandemic". Terry has done a great job following protocol for those of you concerned with COVID and the teachers and he are giving this community some much needed levity, support and relief. Thank you Newport Power Yoga!

Poorly advertised classes. It's hot yoga without saying so. My second time going and the 7 pm class had two people besides me. The instructor wasn't doing any of the moves or providing any instruction. I had to look at the person next to me several times to figure out where I should be. I've had better yoga from apps. There was no music, just poses being called out in a monatone voice. 👎👎 Thames St yoga is excellent for anyone looking for vinyassa. I shouldnt have strayed.

Visiting RI and paid $15 online. Got to the studio and asked about a senior discount which is $11 and was told it was too late to get a discount, if I paid online. (There is no such information about this online.) I was then charged $1 to rent a mat. Took me most of the class to get over being annoyed at the lack of customer service. The gentleman in front of me was questioning his payment information and wasn't given the correct information. After the class he still was wondering and the instructor looked it up and gave him an answer that he was satisfied with. Newport Power Yoga - pay attention and add some grace.

One of the best hot yoga places in the Newport area. Great teachers, so much space to move, true intention to the spiritual values of yoga, super hot and humid room - highly recommend.

First of all this place has great instructors and love the advanced heated classes...but needs work inside. Wrong floors for the hot yoga they do , laminated and old which is all peeling in places. Bathrooms are dirty. No showers (again this is HOT so you can imagine the sweaty mess post class). No water fountain (this can be installed and charge members to fill which would cover cost). Paint dirty and flaking. Smelly used sponges to clean mats instead of clean reusable cloths. The owners just need to invest and spruce this place up a bit. Maybe I’m being bias cause I’ve been to many studios in large cities and around the country...but just needs some improvement to give 5 stars because the classes and teachers are tops.

I vacation in Newport every year. This year I decided to try some of the yoga studios. This was a really Great class! Perfect temperature. Great teacher, I will definitely return when I'm back in town. Highly recommend!

I wanted to go to a yoga class here but was unable to find the schedule. The studio's website schedule is only available to view through the Mind Body app. I was able to find another studio that allowed me to see their schedule directly from their website so I went there instead. I could be wrong, but if I am then I would have to say that Newport Power Yoga should rethink their website design. I don't think potential customers should be forced to log into a third party site just to see a yoga studio's schedule. I am glad that we have so many other local yoga studios to choose from.

Heather, Bruce & Lori are amazing! Every class is great! The classes make me sweat alot! Highly recommend!

My favorite instructor by far is Katie. She's awesome. I always leave her class feeling great. She's very patient, extremely nice and nonjudgmental.

This studio is my favorite in Newport. Classes are easy to book, hour options are great, space is always clean and great classes! i have been lucky to purchase deals on classes when they offer them. Atmosphere is very soothing and I always feel great after a class!

I was shocked at how little instruction was given. Example: From standing in warrior, she said "pigeon, left side." From pigeon left side: "Switch." That was literally it. I've never had a yoga instructor who gave off the "too cool for school" toxic vibe before. My "instructor" was Carolyn, but I see that someone else had a similar experience with Mary Beth as reviewed in the MindBody app. I'll go back to try a different instructor, but then I'm giving up and will stick with in-home & my Boston studios as I look elsewhere in Newport.

Best Yoga Studio in Newport. Special offers for first timers are $20 for 3 classes and every Wed, Thurs and Fri (These times and dates can change so check the website) they have $5 community classes which fill up FAST! When I tried the Heated Vinyasa Flow Community Classes I was in looove! I've been doing yoga for about four years so I wanted something challenging but relaxing at the same time. Perfect combination. I might ease up the community classes though because they get super packed and honestly, I find it disturbing to be that close to sweaty people but hey, that's what yoga is all about. Focusing on YOU and you only. Great, friendly staff who are excited to meet new people. They really know their stuff too. Very impressed.

My first time yesterday at NPY with Lori. Didn't realize how packed it would get or how much I was going to sweat and this is from a person who normally does Bikram/Power Yoga. I felt more instruction/guidance was needed. It was almost like everyone was in a race, instead of enjoying each pose.

I really enjoy all of the classes that I take here, both the heated and the open level ones. I'm a relative rookie (I know the basic poses, and have practiced here and there over the years, but not consistently) and only recently began practicing regularly multiple times a week. The instructors are friendly and each offer their own vibe, and they do provide adjustments, corrections and alternatives for those who need them, especially when they get to know you and your particular needs. I've found everyone to be very welcoming here. I give the studio four stars instead of five just because I do wish that the studio limited the number of attendees in each class. I've attended both very packed classes and very empty classes here, and the very packed classes do leave me feeling pretty gross because you're in such close proximity to many other people flinging and dripping sweat everywhere.

I visited Newport for the weekend and I was so upset with my experience. I really tried to give it a lot of chances. Ignoring the fact that the owner of the studio was incredibly rude to me and even more so when I didn't buy a towel from him, the studio is unsafe. I urge those who are not familiar with yoga not to attend a heated class here. Heated yoga classes are meant to be done slowly or with an instructor that really cares about explaining the positions, making sure people's bodies are protected and not overstretched in any way. My instructor didn't even care to call the positions what their actual names were let alone help people understand the best way to do them. I felt like yoga as a practice was disrespected. We ran through the positions like it was a class for the Flash and his family members and by the end I was either trying to carefully get in and out of different positions and flows to keep myself safe, or just staying in downward dog until I saw a flow I recognized. While I can usually trust my yoga instructor to lead me through any position and flow, here, I didn't, and that was sad. I'm not saying all of the teachers are bad, but I hope that the other ones are much better than mine.

My partner and I attended a class at NPY during a recent visit to Newport for the Valentine's weekend. The class prices were higher than the heat and I personally felt like I was jammed into the crowded room like a sardine. No thanks, I've experienced better and won't be coming back as this was possibly the worst yoga experience of my life. Aside from being uncomfortably hot. They need to STOP using SOAP in their after class mat cleaning spray. I would suggest they instead USE 70-90% isopropyl alcohol, which would be as effective if not more so at cleaning and killing bacteria! Halfway through class my sweat activated the remnants of the ZEP cleaning spray they stock on the mat I borrowed and I could no longer hold a downward facing dog without my hands sliding out from underneath me. Frustration ensued and I wish I could have the $12 I wasted back in my wallet.

Visiting a friend that lives Downtown, I desperately needed to connect and practice. NPY was the closest bike ride/walk, so I opted to try several heated power vinyasa classes. The main studio is clean and well-kept , so is the waiting area. There is only one bathroom and no men/women's changing room which was a bit cumbersome. Pricing for class packages was average for the area. The heat was nice, but sequencing and queuing varied depending on instructor, for the most part -- it was just ok.

I have been to about 5-6 classes to this place since they opened a year ago. I am a former Ashtangi and now Dharma Mittra style yogi (bhakti-like). I have taken classes with Terri and four other teachers here and usually in the spring/summer. The space it great. And their $5 community class is super, esp in Newport. While not a complete fan, I am glad this place in on offer to the community. I am accustomed to a flowy asana practice but the excessive sweating (due to excessive heat) just makes things excessively slippery. Esp when it is already hot outside. Sure you can bring a towel to help. but when your legs slip off your arms during inversions, it gets distracting (def. needed to harness my yoga mind and bandhas during these moments). there was the tendency instructors had to drill or direct the class as if they were in a spinning class or something. I also wish he didn't use the meditation bell like a 'last call' saloon bell at the beginning of class (bye bye centering). Overall the instructor's direction was good. However, I never experienced or witnessed a one on one adjustment (verbal or otherwise). Unfortunately, a lot of people were out of alignment and panting like mad. They did tell people to rest when nec tho. I couldn't help feel a gym environment. Little,if any, guided mediation, no pranayam and a rushed exit. Def. bring your own mat and towel...like i said - things get super messy.

NPY is a welcome addition to the already awesome Yoga scene here on Aquidneck Island. The studio is run by an extremely passionate yogi, Terry, who really embraces the yogi community and practice. The studio specializes in Heated Power Vinyasa Yoga which, for newbies like myself, is really not as scary as it sounds. The room does get pretty hot with the use of steam heat, but power yoga thankfully isn't the crazy athletic hardcore competitive impression I had before taking classes. It's actually a heated vinyasa class that moves with intention. Don't be intimidated by it, because by the end of it you feel FANTASTIC. However, DO bring a yogi towel to put on your mat because you will be sweating buckets in there! I really like the fact that they have a great schedule with classes at great times, they are open to suggestions and new types of classes, and that they have community classes on Wednesday and Friday at an affordable rate of $5 for those who can't afford to pay full price all the time. Recently they just added restorative and meditation classes that I can't wait to attend. They also have great workshops such as yoga for runners, yoga for beginners, inversions, and master classes too. During the summer, parking gets kind of crazy but NPY validates your parking if you park in the adjacent lot nearby. It's a beautiful studio with great teachers, and I think Newport is very lucky to have a great space like this to practice yoga in.

The studio, location, & instructors are excellent! This is what Yoga should be...acceptance, flow, meditative.

Maybe it's a bit unfair to compare this to the yoga studio I go to back home, but I wasn't impressed. Prices aren't bad - I did 3 classes for $25. Otherwise, $13 a class, $10 for students and sometimes they'll have monthly deals. They also offer multiple community classes throughout the week. I signed up for classes and paid online - I'm unsure if you can do it in person. The studio itself is spacious and beautiful. The building is gorgeous and well kept. Parking is a major issue in Newport but not here. The lot they use is spacious and the studio will validate your parking ticket. They sell expensive yoga mats and a few hydrating beverages and have yoga mats for rent and yoga blocks for use. The instruction is standard. What really got to me was how the hot room smelled. I understand there are people sweating but upon walking in, I couldn't help but smelling feet stench throughout my entire practice. Otherwise, this isn't a place to turn away from. Great if you have to do yoga away from home.

Whenever I visit Newport I always make a stop to Newport how are you got to get an awesome class in on a busy day!! Lori's noon class is always a amazing! Just tried Ann Marie's class at 7. She is a fantastic morning teacher! She definitely made me think and stay present this morning. Thanks Newport Power!! Now that I live in Newport, I try to make it to at least 3 or 4 classes a week. NPY offers a wonderful atmosphere to ground and center. :)

This studio is fine if you know the basics and just need a place to practice, but otherwise the other reviewers who complain about the lack of detailed instructions and variations are absolutely correct. Plus, if you're opening a heated yoga studio, please include a shower! I'd give this studio another star if it converted one of its oversized bathroom into a shower room. Finally, having practiced on a padded floor at my last place made going back to hardwood floors rough on the joints. Overall, it's a fine place to use if you're in town for a short while, but I'd look elsewhere if you want something long-term.

Space: Beautiful, very clean and airy with lots of natural light. Plenty of parking even in summer. Instructors: Haven't tried them all yet, but Dina, Sheri, and Terry are great. Class Schedule: Very convenient, plenty of options that are suitable for people who have to work a normal schedule during the day (which unfortunately is rare on Aquidneck Island!) The focus here is definitely on very active power yoga-- you WILL get a great workout! That said, I always leave feeling completely rejuvenated and relaxed.

There's not many hot yoga studios in Newport or that I've found. But this place is good. I've been practicing yoga for many years now and this place is getting my 4 stars b/c I think the staff could be friendlier (if they knew you were a new student...show you around the ropes), teachers could be more helpful and wished they had changing rooms. If you're taking hot yoga and you gotta walk out in wet clothes in the winter, it equals no fun. They validate parking for you which is super though!

Came on Memorial Day Weekend for a drop in hot yoga class. It was great and had the perfect location above such a cute coffee shop.

Great staff, the studio is clean and inviting. They give you many options on poses. making sure you never go past your comfort zone. They only want you to push past it when it feels good and right to you. They offer a military and student discount which is a great plus. They offer a few different packages for multi day or class passes.parking is easy and they will validate parking during the summer. great studio to start your yoga practice or if your looking for a new one to come to.

I love this studio! It's the right amount of heat and the teachers are great! I take a class every time I'm in Newport. I wish I could find a studio like this in my town.

I have been to both Newport and the North Kingstown location. I have been practicing yoga for a few years now, and can appreciate what NPY is trying to accomplish. The class is great if you are looking for a total body workout and stress relief. It can get pretty hot, so stay hydrated. I like the underlying focus and mindfulness they teach. One of the concerns that I have is that the instructors don't really teach you what yoga is. They fly through the poses, with little room for adaptation or allowing people to transition. The instructors (from what I've seen) don't engage in the poses or model for the students. When I was looking around the room, I cringed seeing students straining their shoulders doing a low pushup 15 times in a row, or doing tree pose and putting their legs on their joints. I think NPY and RIPY can improve by taking the time to actually teach students the poses. Also- with most of the classes the sequencing is the same. You may feel like a sweaty yoga robot after a while!

I am a yoga teacher with an Ashtanga vinyasa background. I went to two yoga classes at the studio while visiting Newport last week and enjoyed them both. I am a yoga teacher with a background in ashtanga vinyasa. First, I tried the Community yoga class which was taught by Jennifer. It was only $5! What a deal. The class was heated and it was a little too hot for me. I'm used to some heat while practicing-- but the low 80s-- this felt like more than that and it was a hot day. Jennifer's style was calming. She gave me a few really nice adjustments. I recommend her class. Next, I went to heated power vinyasa with Terence. I loved his style of teaching. The room didn't feel as hot as the prior class--which I liked, and he also has a calm presence. He encourages you to challenge yourself, but also gives you plenty of opportunity to back-off. he gently infuses the philosophical aspects of yoga into the class without talking too much. I like that the teachers had totally different styles. I've been to other 'power yoga' studios elsewhere and was turned off by the fact that all of the teachers seemed so similar. I recommend that you bring your own mat. I had to rent one because I was traveling--but you sweat so much in these classes and the mats at the studio stink (even though they provide spray and sponges to clean before and after class). There's just a lot of sweat! Also-- don't forget a towel.

This place is all about making as much $ as they can! They jam in 9 people to a row, charge $3 for towels, don't provide wipes or cloths for wiping down mats and offer literally no instruction or corrections for poses. Could be the WORST yoga ever!!!!

I have been coming here for over 2 years, and have been coming since their first week of opening. Having been for so many classes, I can say that at NPY it really depends on the teacher, and I would definitely recommend going to at least 3 different teachers before reaching an opinion (as you should with any yoga place). Some are much more regimented in their practice, while other classes are much more flowy and "yoga-esque", so it is important to try different ones to see what you like best. Generally, the classes are very very hot, so come prepared to sweat. They truly live up to the "power" name and every class will be a rigorous workout... it truly takes your mind away from your life, and to focus only on your mat. Also, depending on the time, they can get very crowded, to the point where your mat will be touching others on both sides... while this isn't typical, do not be surprised as it is a very popular studio. I really love the philosophy that NPY instills, it is a great addition to Newport.

If you haven't been to Power Yoga yet - my question is what are you waiting for? To say that the studio has been a positive influence on my life is an understatement! As an avid runner and cyclist my hamstrings and quads (never mind my hips) are always extremely tight. The difference in my flexibility from attending classes at Power Yoga has been incredible. Everyone attends class for different reasons - mine was to improve my flexibility, but now I find that I can't wait to get there so I can work on my breathing & calm my mind. Newport Power Yoga has it all - from the professional and kind instructors to the lovely women at the desk and the beautiful space where we practice (that always has great light no matter what time of year). So... what are you waiting for? Get to a class today!

This is one of my favorite places in Newport. I was always a little critical of yoga and thought I would hate it until I started coming to Newport Power Yoga. The instructors are excellent and very experienced. They can help you regardless of your level. If you are an early riser, the 7am Friday morning class is excellent!

NPY has turned me into a yoga junkie! I went for the first time to a basic class with Meredith and instantly fell in love. I've been to classes since then with both Meredith and Terry and love them equally. The ambiance is so relaxing and calming and you can truly embrace yoga. Having never done yoga before I was a bit intimidated but was quickly reassured that yoga is very personal and to only do what feels comfortable. I have continued to follow that mantra and I try to hit up NPY as often as possible.

Great addition to Newport! Power Yoga is a unique experience and it's safe to say you'll be addicted even if you're skeptical at first. They have a few $5 community classes which aim to make yoga accesible to everyone which I really love. They even have a donation-based class on Friday nights where all proceeds go to a different charity each week. The teachers are professional and the space is great. As a gal that hates to sweat (and does so easily!), I never thought I'd actually enjoy heated yoga , but I really love it now. The steam and heat only aid your practice and make you feel rejuvinated and inspired at the end of every class.

Great yogic "workout", very hot space. Suitable for beginners but I would take caution- the humidity of the space might overwhelm a newcomer. Took Val's class, very energetic.

I'm new to power yoga but I already love it here! Awesome people, and great workouts!

My favorite place for heated yoga. It was hot but not too hot. Instructors were great. Studio was large enough not to be claustrophobic. I ran into the owner at the market across the street and he gave me a free class which was kind!

By far my favorite yoga studio in Newport. I love the steam heat which really make me break a sweat. I always leave feeling rejuvenated and a little sore (in the good way) the next day!

I was just in Newport this past weekend for my sister's bachelorette party and we did a private lesson with Terry and it was perfect! The studio is beautiful and Terry was a great instructor and all the ladies enjoyed themselves. If I lived in the area I would definitely be a regular at this yoga studio!

Newport Power Yoga completely changed my life when I started practicing at the studio three years ago. It continues to represent "home" for me in my yoga world and the family like community it offered me during my time in Newport was beyond unique and special. I found myself never wanting to leave the studio. The space is exquisite, the instructors challenge and encourage your practice, and the hot room is unlike others offering a combination of heat and humidity. NPY has changed my life in numerous ways and brought my practice to a whole new level. Don't miss out on this gem -- you'll find yourself quickly addicted.

I am very new to Yoga. but this studio is amazing. the teacher there are so nice and love to work with you. never have i felt like i can't keep up, they love to push you, but all for the greater good. I have never felt more energized and alive after these classes. One of the instructors Masha is really great at explaining things and showing you modifications to poses that may be tough for you at the beginning. I suggest this studio for any and all who want to feel good about body and life. I give this magical place 1,000,000 stars.

So, this is the real deal, best workout so far in New England, Bring an extra towel, Only comment is, Class could be a little more hot, 5 star for sure Steve

Newport Power Yoga has been a part of my work-out routine for the past two to three years. I have found it to be not just a great work out, but also healing to my body, mind, and spirit. I leave there refreshed and re-energized. The instructors have also helped guide me with any questions I have had about yoga or trainings...and I have found the owner to be very giving- donating to many charities and local individuals living in the community. I would highly recommend Newport Power Yoga for overall health and well-being!

I have been going to Newport Power Yoga for several weeks now, and I absolutely love it. I've only been to the hot vinyassa power yoga classes, but every instructor I've had has been wonderful - I will say that each instructor has their own style of teaching, focusing on different aspects of a yoga practice, but every time I've gone, its been a challenging and fulfilling experience. Plus, the studio itself is a beautiful space.

I only went to one class, so my experience was limited. It was a good class but very very hot, packed and smelly. You must have a large towel, you will pour sweat. The teacher did a lot of preaching but no adjusting of poses or even describing them. My friend was a beginner and had to watch others for what to do and found that a little stressful. It may just be that people that go there are experienced, but there were some tourists too. I would try again if visiting.

Great hot yoga place. Beautiful studio. And a great location as well. Had to get my yoga fix while on vacation in Newport, and this place delivered....just opened a month ago...wish them well.

Was in town for a weekend a few weeks ago and met the owner after one of the classes. All I can say is that he has some deep anger issues.

Came here on a cold weekend morning while on a recent trip to Newport. Just 9 dollars for a drop-in class if you are a student. Also free mat rental if you are new. The hot room was a nice reprieve from the blistering cold weather, but man was it HOT. Definitely do yourself a favor and bring towels and water. This is standard power yoga with very long holds of poses. It's a different style of yoga than I prefer, but I still enjoyed it. The class was packed even in off season in Newport, so I would make sure to come early to snag a spot.

Great yoga spot. Highly recommended. You won't regret going to ANY of the classes. Also, very clean and well run. Terry(owner) is a great teacher and easily relatable. They have classes for all levels. Especially if you have never gone to a yoga class, don't have a yoga mat, and don't think yoga is a workout or for you...trust me, you will thank Terry afterwards and every time going forward.

They've taken yoga to some odd extreme sport. Instructors unaware of class needs. They move through motions so quickly you get no benefit. Really easy to get hurt. Definitely not the place for anyone with lower back, knee, join issues.

I've gone to this place twice. I really want to like it - pretty studio, good location (close to home for me), studio gets nice and hot. But both times very underwhelmed. Today's class went from moving with uncomfortably fast speed on one hand to one too many reps or holding poses 20% too long on the other. Maybe 1/3 of the class was following during the fast paces and maintaining through the long holds - it just didn't seem like the instructor was responding to the class at all. The instructor manually corrected maybe one person and the verbal cues were more about being on the edge of your comfort zone vs. guiding or enhance positions. This was similar to the "feel" of the first class. The short of it is, next time I'll suck up the drive to Thames Street Yoga...

I have been at this studio for about 2 years and I am very pleased. It's a great work out for mind and body. All the teachers have their own unique way and going through all of them is very helpful to see where you want to be. I find that all classes have a wonderful flow and some teachers have no problem stopping and taking the time on one particular move. Cost is great and location. Vacation/summer people you can park in CVS lot. There are all level classes for beginners. It is definitelyy worth checking out for your self.
