yoga off east Yoga Off East is a modern yoga studio rooted in ancient tradition. Find our schedule at https://www.yogaoffeast.com/weeklyclasssched. See you on the mat!

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

We’re honored to announce our new partnership with Shanti Bhavan—a “Haven of Peace” providing life-changing education for children in southern India. 🌏✨

Shanti Bhavan is featured in the four-part Netflix documentary Daughters of Destiny, and its impact is nothing short of extraordinary. From age 4 through 12th grade, students receive holistic care and a world-class education—100% go on to college (including Duke 💙) and many become compassionate leaders uplifting their families and communities. 💛

If you’re looking to make a difference this holiday season, consider donating to Shanti Bhavan. 💛 Now through 12/2, your gift will be matched. Donate at the link in our bio.

A special thank-you to YOE member Amanda Turner for introducing us to this incredible organization. ❤️

Put some love in the comments for Kim, studio co-owner & beloved teacher—we’re celebrating her today on her birthday! 💙 ✨ 🥳

Kim attended the inaugural teacher training program at Yoga Off East in 2019-2020 and has been a mainstay on the class schedule ever since! A little over two years ago she approached YOE founder, Kathryn, with a big idea to support and expand the studio. A strong partnership was immediately aligned and Kim spearheaded the relocation to ATC.

✨ Today we celebrate Kim’s commitment to this community, to her longstanding yoga practice, and to all the ways small and large, that she makes YOE a special place! We love you, Kim!

Tell us about your favorite end-of-year ritual, or share an end-of-year ritual you’d like to try this year (let’s share ideas in the comments)!

Here are a few we like:

🌕 Reflect: Light a candle and journal about five things you learned (or five ways you’ve grown) in 2025.

🌿 Release: Write down what you’re ready to let go of, then (safely) burn or tear the paper.

💫 Renew: Roll out your mat, put on a playlist of your favorite songs from this year, and move through four or five of your favorite poses as slowly as possible.

🙏 Give Thanks: Choose a handful of people who had a positive impact on your life this year, and sit down to write each of them a card saying thank you.

Need supplies for your end-of-year rituals? Stop into the studio for candles, journals (we love our new YOE logo journals with a lay-flat spiral binding), pens, inspiring books, essential oils, yoga mats & blankets, and more.

Put a 💙 in the comments if you love practicing with Jess! 👏👏👏

Jess has been teaching at Yoga Off East since day one — way back when we had a sweet little space inside (more than nine years ago!). 🤩 Classes with Jess are mindful, alignment-focused, and intuitive.

When she’s not teaching, Jess is probably dancing (contact improvisation, ecstatic dance, or contemporary), adventuring with her daughter, or connecting with nature and bird watching. 🐦 💃

You can find Jess every Saturday morning at 8:30 AM for Somatic Flow — a stress-relieving yoga practice focused on mindful movement, body awareness, and breath.

Say hi to Jess in the comments and let us know what you love about her! 👋✨

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

Emma joined the YOE team one year ago, and we’re so lucky to have her! Emma’s teaching style is inclusive, restorative, and lighthearted. 🤩

When she’s not teaching, Emma is likely going for walks on the Eno and chasing after her kids—sometimes both of these at the same time!

You can find Emma every Wednesday at 12:30 PM for Yoga Fundamentals and every Thursday at 4:30 PM for Stretch + Restore. You can sign up for her Wednesday Yoga Fundamentals class as a drop-in or as a four-week series starting this week (🔗 in bio!). This is a great option for those who are new to yoga!

Say hi to Emma 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.
