Located in downtown Durham's American Tobacco Campus, we offer yoga classes every day of the week.

Yoga students of all levels are welcomed to roll out their yoga mats and flow with us. Our Values
RITUAL. The discipline of showing up brings incredible rewards. COMMUNITY. Together we strengthen our collective positive impact. PERSONAL GROWTH. Your work in the world matters. CREATIVITY. Our studio is designed to nurture your creative spirit. SIMPLICITY. We believe it’s important to “keep the ease alive”

Give some love to Kathryn, our studio’s founder & co-owner, plus a beloved teacher and an overall wonderful human—we’re celebrating her today, on her birthday! 🎉

Kathryn’s steadiness—as a leader, teacher, and friend—helps keep the studio on an even keel, and her vision helps us to grow and roll with the changes. We love Kathryn’s ability to laugh, listen, and say “yes!” to all our wild ideas!

To know Kathryn is to experience her dedication, her heart, and the genuine care she brings to every single person who walks through the door. Those qualities don’t just shape the studio — they define her.

Happy Birthday, Kathryn! Thank you for being you and for sharing your light with all of us each and every day!

Help us celebrate Kathryn by showing her some love in the comments. 💙🫶✨🥳

Teacher Feature Alert 📢 Put a 💙 in the comments if you love practicing with Lara! 👏 👏 👏

Lara has been teaching for nine years, and for seven years at Yoga Off East (with two breaks to have babies). Students describe her teaching style as heartfelt, steady, and strong (as in challenging, but in a way that kind of sneaks up on you!).

Lara has a background as a long-distance hiker and Bollywood dance & fitness instructor. These days, she spends her non-teaching time in full mom mode with her two young kids, and she’s also an avid reader and a pretty good cook!

Here’s when you can practice with Lara at Yoga Off East:

✨Mondays at 6:00 PM for Balanced Flow
✨Tuesdays at 10:30 AM for Strength + Stillness
✨Fridays at 9:30 AM for Power Flow

✨✨ AND catch her this coming Sunday, February 15th at 6:00 PM for Lovingkindness Flow 💕, a special class in our Warm Winter Series. ✨✨

Say hi to Lara in the comments & let us know what you love about her! 👋

Our Story

The idea of a neighborhood studio on Ninth Street started as the personal goal of one Duke Alum and manifested as the result of a close knit and supportive community in Durham and the Triangle, as a whole. Yoga students of all levels are welcomed to roll out their yoga mats and flow with us.

Yoga Off East is a giant exhale, from the moment you walk in the door. We are your sacred break from the busy, a moment to ground during your day. We are passionate about creating a space where every body is family.

Welcome home. We’re located on Ninth Street, just off Duke’s East Campus.
