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

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

Tammy has been teaching at Yoga Off East for almost nine years, since our earliest days on Durham’s Ninth Street! 🤩 Classes with Tammy are joyful, accessible, and intentional. Take it from us—her kindness really comes through in her teaching.

When she’s not teaching, Tammy is focusing on finding joy in the small things—long walks in the woods with her daughter Julia and dog Lucy (a pit terrier), reading, and dancing to live music (the best way to let it all go!).

You can find Tammy every Wednesday morning at 9:30 AM for Core Strength Flow, a challenging but affirming flow with creative transitions and a focus on mindful breath.

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

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! 👋✨

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.
