No matter where I travel, yoga studios are on my ‘must find’ list. A practice is what I require to maintain balance, peace and joy in life. My home locations in New Hampshire set the bar. How delighted I have been to find Magnolia Yoga this trip! Each practitioner in this studio has met my needs. Regardless of the time of day or day of the week, these past 2 months in Seattle have kept me grounded in my practice and taught me more! Thank you all! Too numerous to mention, but you know who you are… and thank you to those who show up for class and breathe right along side of me in this very special space💕

This is a place to come for healing as well as yoga. You can find community and peace here. — Theresa L.
“I’ve known Yuko for years - she actually taught me yoga via private lessons in ~2008. I've been under a lot of stress the last few years and reconnected with Yuko for private practice. She helped me tremendously with mindfulness, relaxation and some fantastic body strength too! I was so excited to hear she now has her own practice - and her partner Ginger is a great instructor too! If you need stress relief, help with flexibility, a new way to exercise, you’ll find it here! Try them out….”

“This yoga studio is straight up incredible. It's a tucked away, intimate studio run by two incredible co-owners/instructors, Yuko and Ginger. It's clear their hearts are really in the studio. Regular classes here are an integral part of my overall wellbeing - I honestly can't believe my luck sometimes that there is such a great neighborhood studio in Magnolia. :) The environment is very, very welcoming to beginners or people getting back to yoga after a long time away (while of course also welcoming of people with a regular practice now). They have a variety of classes from flow, chair classes, hatha, yin, and more. The number of classes offered per week makes it easy to find something to fit your schedule whether you are looking for morning, lunch, evening, weekend classes (or mix!). There are plenty of extra mats and props to use should you need. The pricing is also extremely reasonable and there are specials for new students. You are unlikely to regret checking the studio out! Also shout out to Discovery Espresso across the street for post-yoga bites and coffee. :)

“I'm so glad I found this little gem of a studio! I scheduled private lessons with Yuko because I'm new to yoga and have limitations (bad knees and shoulders). I've had such a positive experience working with Yuko, she's amazing! I don't usually write reviews but felt compelled to share.”

“I am thrilled to discover Magnolia Yoga and Healing Arts! I have been wanting to start yoga again after a long break and the restorative and fundamental classes have been perfect to slowly ease back in to practice again. There are great class choices for all levels. A sweet neighbor space with easy street parking. Ginger and Yuko are the kindest instructors!”

Ginger, Yuko, and Seanna each offer supportive and gentle guidance in leading the collective flow of our yoga sessions. I love the studio's intimate space and the warmth of the community here. I come away from my practice feeling more grounded and energized. Such a gem of a studio!

“With feelings of renewed hope and gratitude, it is wonderful to participate in in-person classes! Yuko and Ginger are exceptional instructors; each with a style of her own. I enjoy the variety and continue to be surprised how small changes can make a class feel so different from one day to the next. Their positive attitudes and dedication to the practice of yoga keep me returning to the studio to relax, restore, and rejuvenate.”

“I love Magnolia yoga! This is a welcoming and inviting and inclusive space. Whatever your flow, Magnolia yoga will help support you.”

“I have been taking biweekly private lessons from Yuko for several years now. A big advantage of this is that Yuko can tailor each session to how I am feeling that day and what I want to work on. She makes sure to cover the whole body and every major joint, but can concentrate on particular areas of special need. Yoga lessons with Yuko are always fun, but also thoughtful and more strenuous when I need that. Amazingly, she never runs out of variations of the exercises we do, and at the end of each session I feel challenged but refreshed.”
— Janet W.
“I’ve always loved the neighborhood studio vibe and the teachers. Looking forward to the re-opening and all the new studio has to offer!”
— Pedro M.
"I've been taking weekly yoga classes for 22 years, the last 11 from Yuko. Never have I been in a warmer, more welcoming studio. Yuko seems to take a personal interest in each student, kindly suggesting alternate poses to accommodate stiff hamstrings, sore backs, or tight hips. Through several physical ailments over the years, I've rarely had to miss a class thanks to work-arounds and a little special attention. Yuko's considerable experience, knowledge of anatomy, and interest in our welfare even managed to shine through the computer screen during two years of online classes. Physical aging is no fun, but with Magnolia Yoga nearby, I expect to be mobile -- even agile -- into old age."
— Ann S.
“Magnolia Yoga and Healing Arts is in a beautiful studio that offers calmness and a warm community for classes. Yuko has been my teacher for many, many years and she is so welcoming to people of all ages and abilities. She conveys her passion for yoga practice with ease, charm and a sense of humor. We love this place.”
