This is the first studio I've tried since moving here and getting vaccinated and I know I'll be coming back for a long time! The owner and instructor Suzanne is a great teacher and has a wonderful presence. The space is open, clean, and well ventilated. The in person classes are not crowded and spaced out, and the studio still offers online classes. Class prices are very reasonable. Parking can be a little tricky but you can find free street parking around. So happy to practice here!

The Yoga Tree is my go-to studio in Seattle! The teachers are patient and kind, but also encourage you to grow in your practice. Jessica Jobaris is my favorite teacher! She is funny, caring and has a great sense of humor, which I appreciate when we adventure into new poses. I also appreciate her wisdom.

I've been going to the Yoga Tree for years - I literally took the beginner classes here about 15 years ago and really haven't left. But it's time for me to move on. This has never been a Type A studio which I appreciated but it's gotten slower and gentler over the years. Given the times I can go to yoga, it's now impossible for me to go to a practice and get what I would think of as a workout.
This is a great place if you've been injured, ill, in rehab, etc. But if you're looking for core strength, upper body strength and more - this isn't really it. Just know that going in, you won't be disappointed.

The reviews are pretty outdated! I attended class today with Suzanne as the instructor. She was encouraging, patient, and positive. I am 23 and an intermediate yogi and a dancer and it was a level 1-3 class which I found very simple and accessible for all ages, but i could still challenge myself and deepen my practice. Guidance was clear and there was a great community feel to this local studio.
The studio is bright and clean. The only thing I would've added is a little background music to keep the calm atmosphere going, but that's based on teacher preference, and maybe other teachers there incorporate music. That's just my personal taste. Overall great local studio, and I will definitely continue my practice at Yogatree

I went to this studio so many years ago when it was in another site. I liked it then. I now have a 'home' studio but had a chance to come here today. It is beautiful, clean. There is parking. They have interesting workshops and a wide variety of classes and levels. I was very happy to take class from Jessica- she knows bodies, movement and yoga.
Her depth of experience shows in her wisdom talking about how we work with our own bodies. Her instructions and cues are clear. She plans her classes with thought to lead up ot peak poses with modifications when needed. I will be back. Many thanks.

All of the reviews on here are pretty old so here is a current one: I've practiced yoga in the Seattle area on and off for about six years. I am not super experienced student but I have visited lots of studios and I am familiar with most of the positions. The Yoga Tree has become my second favorite studio (Two Dog Yoga in Lake City will always be my #1).
I've taken classes with Jessica, Erica, Laura and Rachel. All of these women have been supportive and clear in their instruction. I never felt pushed past my comfort zone though I do like to give new positions a try. It is near a busy road but it is also a very convenient so for me that is a reasonable trade-off. I really like this studio and I look forward to attending many more classes.

If you are an advanced practitioner, this is 100% NOT the studio for you. Very beginner, very slow studio. Since the studio was a basic beginner studio, I tried taking my practice deeper and then the teacher preceded to call me out and stop my practice and told me to do what she was instructing. It was ultimately very frustrating. If you are new to yoga, you might enjoy!

I love The Yoga Tree and think it's an amazing yoga studio. Honestly, I love it. I've taken classes in several studios in town and all over the world and Yogatree's teachers are so above and beyond. Seriously. The Yoga Tree is just such a special place - the vibe and the instruction is the best I've ever experienced. I've been attending classes for over a year and it's made a really big difference in the quality of my life. Huge Thank-you's for providing such an amazing haven in Fremont. I love it and so does everyone else, from what I can tell.

The Yoga Tree has grown on me. I came from hot yoga and initially missed the heat, but have adjusted. Also, they tend to use lots of props here and that was new to me and caused me some internal discomfort initially. However, after attending regularly and trying various teachers and classes, I've found my yoga practice is growing. Instructors help with using the props correctly. Classes vary between gentle and demanding, every teacher is excellent, and each offers strong mindfulness/meditative direction throughout which is what I, personally, was looking for. An added bonus is the Yoga Nidra class: it introduced me to deeper levels of relaxation and awareness than I'd experienced before. I'm a fan of every instructor here, and find their classes offer both physical and spiritual depth.

I am a big fan of the Yoga Tree. I have only been a few times so far, but it is really a great studio. Clean and quiet. The only downside is that the street parking can be a bit limited however I've always found parking within 3 blocks. I've had three different instructors, all of which were great and provided variations for different levels of difficulty for poses.
They provide demonstration, good description, and come around and help correct form as needed. There are a couple of reviews that indicate that the beginning classes aren't difficult enough - I think that if you are taking beginning yoga you have to expect a slower pace and different level of difficulty - especially with different types of yoga which might be more meditative than athletic. All in all, this is a great place for any level. They provide a variety of different types of workshops, and a variety of classes at all times of day.

I have to say I am not too impressed with this studio. It's a beautiful, clean space, and most classes are well attended. I often found the classes too slow-paced and easy. If you are looking for gentle yoga, this is a good place. Otherwise, you'll get bored! Not all the teachers are helpful. I think other yoga studios in Seattle are a million times better!

The Yoga Tree is, overall, a great place to go for yoga. The ambiance is fantastic with clean, hardwood floors, dim lighting, and minimal distractions in the studio; the instructors appear to be knowledgeable; and they offer a variety of classes at different levels. However, my girlfriends and I did the Hatha 1-2 and I left feeling like it was lacking.
I know it's a beginner class, but the moves were way too easy and we rested way too often in downward dog or child pose. Though not physically challenging, it would have been helpful if the instructor explained the positions and breathing (which would have been helpful considering it was a beginner class) more. Next time I'll go to Vinyasa. Also, bring you own yoga mat. They apparently charge you a buck a time to rent.

I used to do a lot of Yoga and this is where I would go. For a few years I went to the Saturday morning community classes religiously (it helped that they community class was only 8 bucks!) and met up with friends afterwards for breakfast. Sure brings back a lot of good memories. The teaches I've taken classes with have always seemed very nice, really attentive and have a pretty deep knowledge of yoga.
The teachers here seem to integrate teachings from broader aspects of Yoga in addition to physicaly-oriented asana. Because of an injury/cancer I've had to limit my asana but what's cool about the Yoga Tree is that I've been able to go their for meditation classes as well, including Yoga Nidra classes. I think this is one of the reasons why it's considered one of the best Yoga Studios in Seattle. They've since moved a few blocks north of downtown Fremont and I have to say I really like the new location.
The new space seems bigger and more open, very clean, and they have massage and reflexology there now as well. Parking can sometimes be a bit of a pain as it's in a busy area of Fremont. Also, some of the meditation classes I've been to have been really crowded. Overall I'd definitely recommend the Yoga Tree. Also, be sure to check out the Cuban Sandwich place (Paseo?) across the street, a great way to follow-up a yoga class.;-)

Yoga Tree has some really quality instructors that bring an incredible mindfulness to the practice. They are heavy on the props, yet some of the classes and instructors can cause you to move and go deeper to places you've never been. I have practice yoga at a lot of studios and have found Yoga Tree to be a great place to "grow-up" in your yoga practice. I continue to frequent this venue often, especially Kitty and Ellen's classes.

According to my "friend", this is one of the best Yoga studios in all of Seattle. They used to be situated in the heart Fremont but have moved 6 blocks North. The instructors are attentive to their students and alter the pace as needed unlike many multi-purpose gyms. And the cost seems to be on par with other reputable places, so says my "friend". I wouldn't know. Manly men don't do Yoga and I'm manly. damn it.
