Karma Yoga

Very accommodating staff and fully supplied. It’s a small studio, so arrive early, as suggested on their site. There is a reason for the suggestion. A very convenient location. The instructors range in proficiency, as they are a guide and need to accommodate the majority of participants. Very helpful and pleasant staff. I will return. Try it out. You never regret a yoga session.

Love the teachers, love that there are so many classes every day… I love it his place!!!

I have mixed reviews about this place. I had unfortunately bought a 20-​class Groupon, which I didn’t even use half of it. I used to be a very serious Iyengar/​Hatha yoga person when I lived in the Bay Area. It was a nice big studio and the instructors were just different than they are here. I started with the beginner Hatha class here and honestly I felt like I could have done this at home myself. So, I was disappointed. Julie was pleasant, but really feel like this class is better suited for those who have never done yoga and want to get into it slowly. I did end up doing a class with Joey, and restorative class, and I was very impressed with her. She did different things and had a nice way of teaching the class. I also did a restorative aerial class which was interesting. I’d have to do it more than once though to get into the rhythm of it I think. It was ok. The space for me is too small. I like more spacious yoga studios with more wall space and longer classes, and well places that have a different intention.

I signed up through Classpass for a Chair Yoga class with Julie. I normally don’t go all the way out to Clackamas because there’s a plethora of studios by my house in SE Portland but this class was the only class that fit my schedule for that day.
I arrived 10 minutes early and was warmly greeted by Julie, who showed me around the facility, which was very clean. The most interesting part was the aerial yoga room which made me want to do aerial yoga right there and then!
The yoga room itself was very airy and light. Julie was a fantastic instructor. I thought chair yoga was going to be easy and dare I say even «lame» but it was actually very challenging and even «awesome». It’s kind of how you’d think aqua aerobics is easy but can actually get your heart pumping!
Using a chair helped me get deeper in certain poses so much that I am considering adding a chair as a prop for some standing poses to my daily practice. I’m glad I was able to try out Karma Yoga. I think I’ll be coming back soon.

I have showed up one minute before a class is starting and the door was already locked. I take the classes through Classpass so I get charged if I miss a class. I didn’t make a big deal out of it the first time but then today I arrived at 12:29 and tried to open the door exactly at 12:30 for a 12:30 class and the door was already locked! This is a terrible business model. I used to work at a studio and we always waited a few minutes before locking the doors because people have lives and sometimes they are late. It happens.
I quickly tried to call after I knocked on the door several times and the call was directed to an off site location. All she could tell me was that she was sorry and she was not sincere about in the least bit. Then she had the nerve to tell me that I actually arrived at 12:34. I’ve been to a few classes and they were ok. I won’t be going back

I bought Groupons to try this place out with some friends. We signed up for a beginner class and I had called in to confirm everything. We showed up to the studio and it was locked. We didn’t get any notice of the class being cancelled.

I have been to 2 classes so far, I have never been to a yoga class so this was all knew to me. One thing that I look for in a business is customer service. Which they do a pretty good job.
My first class I went to started off really well but once the class was over I wanted help to sign up for more classes. I also wanted to know more about what the classes entail. I had already read the class description online but I wanted to make sure that I didn’t go into something my body wasn’t ready for. I asked for her help and she told me that she was busy and had to get ready for her next class and then walked away. I was left there feeling uneasy and apprehensive.
But I decided to give it another shot.
I went to the Hatha class with Julie Jones. All I can say is wonderful things about her. She really made my experience worth it. I left feeling empowered and healthy. This is why I’m writing this review. she deserves the recognition & praise for what she does.
I will be returning one little bump in the road wont distract me.

going here closing in on a yr, now a member and enjoying the experience, of course the benefits of yoga are kicking in. There is ariel yoga now a nice addition

FINALLY! A yoga studio in Happy Valley! And it’s exactly what I needed– skilled instructors, small classes, low– key environment, and impeccably clean. They offer several types of yoga at convenient times. I’ve been going 3 – 5 times per week for six weeks and I feel like a million bucks!

Awful. Owner pays employees late and then bounces checks!!! When challenged the owner threatens with unfavorable references. Please document your experiences here so future employees know what they are in for…

This is such a great yoga studio!!! They offer a great range of classes with super nice teachers. I have been to yoga studios before, but never with such a wide range: they even have yoga for 12 step programs and a baby and me yoga. I also love the natural light that comes shining through the front room.
Tips: Like their facebook page, they have tons of great deals on there. And, as always with fitness stuff, listen to your body and go at your own pace. (The teachers are great about reminding you of this, but I thought I’d say it as well)
Issues: The one room in the back is kind of bland, but they said they are painting it something nicer, so hopefully that will be fixed soon.
All-​in-​all a fantastic yoga studio that was GREATLY NEEDED HERE IN CLACKAMAS.

Normally I have to drive downtown to do yoga, but when I heard this yoga studio was opening I was thrilled. However, something was off when I attended the first class session. It wasn’t the teachers, but it was how the sales girls offered their memberships. Don’t get me wrong, a free week of yoga is great, but I felt a sense of disconnect with them. It’s almost as if their intentions are to solely sell memberships, and not focus on the key values of yoga. On the other hand, the teachers I had throughout the week were great. I really got a sense of their true self in their yoga sessions. If anything, the yoga teachers should be the ones running the business because their intentions are in the right place. I’ll stick with the studio in downtown, the quality is worth it.

The most important thing I look in a yoga studio is their philosophy. The instructors were nice and welcoming, but I felt a different vibe from the owner. I felt a sense of compassion energy coming from the instructors, which was very nice. However, the owner’s energy seemed very egoistic and I felt her intentions are to make profit for her yoga business.
Maybe it was just me, but I also looked up their main website and it surprises me that their website uses copyrighted images. You can find those exact pictures on google images. All the yoga studios I know use their own images they made or bought from a professional web developer.
