Its a ballet yoga fusion sequence that will put a smile on your face and a lift in your buns. All classes are $ 10. There are no contracts or sign up fees. Show up, do yoga.

Eliz P.

Business Owner

I am originally from Puerto Rico, but have called Austin home since 2005. I was a personal trainer and fitness instructor for seven years, but decided that I wanted more. I wanted to better understand the human body, and stretch both my students minds and their bodies. Through extensive training and practice I became a yogi, and my life was changed forever…

I learned how to breath, how to clear my mind and how to focus. I learned all this as I fell in love with my practice. I have been a faithful practitioner since 2003, and now feel privileged to be able to share my knowledge, and love of yoga with my students. I am trained in Hatha, but also teach vinyasa, and power yoga. I believe that when you do work to better yourself, in turn you better the people around you.

«Be the change that you want to see in the world.» ~Mohandas Gandhi

I’m really going to miss this studio. I may never have stuck with practicing yoga if I had gone elsewhere. I wish Eliz, Dottie, Alex, Chelsey, Kim, Lorelei and all the instructors the best. Thank you for everything. Namaste

$ 10 YOGA. $ 10 YOGA. $ 10 YOGA.
It’s a deal. And it’ll only last til the end of 2015 as they’re closing up shop. Find the daily schedule on their facebook (here:
). I sincerely hope that they go out with as many full classes as possible.

I love this studio. I’m able to go at 9am for Beginning Hatha with Dottie and it’s challenging but I feel I’m getting better, stronger and more flexible every time. Dottie keeps a watchful eye on your positioning and offers help when needed. Great atmosphere, music and overall vibe! Never too crowded. Looking forward to trying other classes as I progress! I must add that I’m over 60, so it’s never too late to begin!!!

I just had a yin class with Jordan this evening, and it was phenomenal. I had not been to yoga for several months and appreciated the welcoming atmosphere. Jordan is a very authentic instructor who cares about her students. I highly recommend her class on Sunday at 530.

I love Yoga Con Amor! I’ve been going there for about 4 months, once or twice a week. I love the variety of classes they offer, as well as the awesome instructors. I’ve taken classes with Eliz, Adam, Chelsea, Lorelei, and Kim, and they’re all friendly with their own unique styles of teaching. There is zero snobbery here.
YCA is super affordable, the atmosphere is laid back, the studio is kept very clean and smells good, and the classes are never jam packed. It doesn’t get better!

This is a great yoga studio! I recently started taking classes at Yoga Con Amor after a 15 year break from yoga. So far, I’ve only taken classes with Eliz, the owner — she is a fantastic instructor. She explains clearly, and is just so helpful. The environment is very welcoming. I feel tired and relaxed after every class, which is great! I love the «show up, do yoga» philosophy for $ 10/​class with no commitments. I will definitely be back.

I love the low-​key attitude at Yoga Con Amor. The instructors are relaxed and encourage people to go at their own pace. It’s an inclusive, welcoming, and calming atmosphere. I’m a new comer, and the instructors and friendly and very sincere individuals. As others mentioned, the classes are affordable as well :) Thanks for pointing me in the right direction other Unilocal-​commenters!

This is my very favorite new yoga spot! I haven’t been practicing consistently so I’m a little rusty and have been looking for a studio that I could go to regularly. I found out about Yoga Con Amor on Unilocal actually and couldn’t pass up the price — $ 10 a class, with the option to buy $ 100⁄30 days unlimited or packages of classes for a discounted price. I prefer to pay per class because my work schedule changes a lot, giving me room to go when I can. The classes at YCA are offered at all kinds of times, early morning or evening or afternoon which is very convenient. I have been going to the Vinyasa and Yoga Con Barre classes and both are incredibly fun. Eliz is great with the Vinyasa class and makes sure to lead the group through the poses slowly. Kim, who does the Barre class, is also fantastic. That class is quite the workout but totally rewarding. I love coming here after a long weekend of work to unwind. I would recommend this to anyone of any level who wants to improve their breath and meditation.

I am not new to yoga, but I am definitely not consistent with my practice. For me it’s all about finding a place I feel at home. I Definitely have that at yoga con amor! I have been to dozens of different studios and yoga con amor is one of my absolute favorites! I love Dottie! Her classes are always different but still go through the basics. It keeps me interested and hungry for more! I’ve found myself actually missing it when I miss a class which has not been the case in my practice thus far. Really loving my experience so far! Looking forward to my next class!

A small-​ish studio but super clean and bright. I’ve been impressed with their staff of very experienced teachers who know how to make EVERYBODY at all abilities feel welcome and relaxed. And a great selection and variety of classes. And surprisingly affordable. I highly recommend them!

This is the best yoga studio I have been to since living in Austin. The instructors are so patient and calming, they assure you it’s OK not to be perfect at yoga (which I am I still a beginner so I need that type of reassurance) I have now made it my goal to make it to at least 2 classes a week since I feel so re-​energized after my yoga therapy. Another awesome plus is… it’s just $ 10 a class. What’s not to love about a beautiful studio, sweet and talented yoga instructors and affordable classes?

Hands down the best yoga classI’ve had yet. I went to the yoga con bar class this morning. I’m new to yoga and the instructor, Kim, was super patient and encouraging. She took the time to explain each position/​move and seemed genuinely excited for each student’s progress.
The studio itself was warm and inviting, clean and professional.
I can’t wait to go back again!

My experience with yoga is limited to the classes offered at 24 Hour Fitness (which is fine since I’m already paying for a membership), but it must be one of those situations where you get what you paid for. Yoga Con Amor is fantastic.
For my mom’s birthday, we wanted her to try out yoga on our vacation to Austin and am so glad that Yoga Con Amor was right around the corner from the hotel we were staying at. We attended the beginner class with Chelsea and she is truly a gem. While the course may have been challenging for a first-​timer, Chelsea made the class very enjoyable and encouraged everyone to go at their own pace. My mom loved it and is now going to try out yoga back at home in Houston!
The process of paying for a class and getting situated was very simple and they offer equipment, such as blankets for support, that I haven’t used before. If you’re thinking of trying out yoga, this is a super place to do so!

I love this place! Where to start? The prices are great. $ 10/​class seems very reasonable to me compared to other Austin places. Plus they are currently offering multi-​class package discounts so my recent classes have actually been closer to $ 7 – 8. I plan to purchase the $ 100/​unlimited class package after I get back from a trip.
Next, the classes. They offer a nice selection from Vinaysa to Hatha to Yoga con Barre (yoga/​barre class fusion). They also offer beginner classes and beginner workshops which is nice as i’m trying to get friends to join me there. They even have a family friendly class for parents to involve their kids. The largest class I have attended had 8 – 9 other people in it (on a Sunday), but most of mine are 2 – 4 people which I love! Adds to the personal attention from instructors.
Finally, the instructors are also fabulous! I’ve had four different ones thus far (Eliz, Dottie, Emily and Kim) and all have been fabulous. Each one brings their own flair to the class. All provide personal interaction and attention to helping you correct form. One day there was bad weather/​traffic and I was the only one who showed up for a class. Eliz wasn’t fazed at all and took me through an awesome class and helped me work into new positions! That’s awesome service in my book!
All in all I’ve been extremely happy with Yoga Con Amore and look forward to continuing to practice there!

Always inviting, always friendly and a non-​threatening environment to practice yoga. Love the no-​membership/​pay by class policy. All the instructors are great and provide gentle instruction/​correction when needed. Leave every class feeling stretched, rejuvenated and peaceful! Keep up the great work YcA!

I’ve tried 4 yoga studios in Austin over the last 7 years, and Yoga Con Amor is hands down my favorite! Beautiful space, simple pricing, amazing instructors (Eliz is a true gem) and a style of yoga that really works for me. In college, I started taking ashtanga yoga, but it was too hot. The vinyasa classes at Yoga Con Amor are kept at 80 degrees, which is perfect. I love the emphasis of breath linked to movement and the ocean-​sounding breath (slight constriction of the throat) — this really helps me always stay conscious of my breath, which helps me reach that meditative state more easily and consistently. I love the rhythm of this type of yoga, which involves a lot of movement and transitions. It’s energizing!
I go to the noon classes and the class sizes are fairly small, which I much prefer to what I’ve experienced at most other studios.
I believe Eliz and her mom opened the studio last year, and it’s such a lovely, clean, welcoming environment. Eliz is such a wonderful soul and instructor. She really has you feel like you can go at whatever pace works for you, judgment-​free, and encourages you to listen to your own body. She knows exactly what she is doing and explains things really clearly and accurately. I know that if I were a yoga instructor, I’d sometimes forget what came next, flub my words, or even switch up left and right. But not Eliz! She always says something at every class that totally connects me to the present, which is not easy for me! At the end, she reminds us that we’re all one and that we all have something divine within us — it always makes me feel grateful for my life. I’ve never felt like both my body and soul were nurtured so profoundly by yoga before I came to this studio.
I’ve always had trouble going to yoga consistently. I would go for 2 – 3 months, and then stop for a long time. I’ve been coming to Yoga Con Amor for nearly 5 months now and I always look forward to it! If you’re still trying to find your yoga home, try this place out!

I love this place! I was scared to try yoga but their $ 10 classes sounded very inviting. The classes r small, the space is very calming. The instructors r awesome! Very reassuring & will help guide u to get the poses right or alternate poses that feel better. It’s such a work out too! I sweat every time (not profusely, but enough) they offer a monthly membership but it’s super well priced!
Today as a matter of fact, I’m the only one that showed up to a morning class & the instructor told me it was ok if I had a personal one on one class. It was great to get that one on one and have her guide me & teach me new things.
I have tried the yoga con barra & total work out! I will have legs & buns of steel thanks to that class!
This place is just a great place to do yoga. They have a ton of beginner classes & advanced ones too.

Can’t really say enough good things about this place. I’ve had a hard time finding a yoga studio that works for me. I don’t really want to get into the chanting or religious aspects of yoga, which a lot of Austin yoga studios want to do. I also don’t want to spend a fortune on a monthly pass, have to drive really far out of my way, or have really large classes. And I want to stay away from the «I am more yoga than you» feeling. In short, I’d basically given up. I’ll do my little Rodney Yee videos at home once in awhile and not worry about it.
But then Yoga Con Amor opened like a 3-​minute walk from my house. $ 10 drop-​in rate, no monthly passes (well, they have a special on one right now, but it’s soooo cheap), small studio, small class sizes, not a lot of chanting or talking about your chakras (at least not in the beginners’ classes I’ve been in).
And they have Yoga Con Barre. Have you wanted to take ballet, but the thought of putting on tights and a leotard makes you hyperventilate? Then get thee to Yoga Con Barre! That class provides a fun tutu and combines yoga postures with barre work and ballet-​inspired leg work. And it will make you SWEAT.
All in all, I am a huge fan, and will be making classes at Yoga Con Amor a regular part of my week.

Usually I’ll go somewhere at least twice before reviewing but considering how sore I am, it might take a while to get back there. Tell me if you’ve ever taken a yoga class like this: packed, someone’s rear uncomfortably close to your face during high plank, «soothing» stream or woodwinds playing over your stifled grunts as you try to arrange your body in crazy contortions that have higher meaning in the world but right now are just confounding you. Oh and everyone in lululemon.
Now imagine this: three people in a room, slightly heated, playing Phil Collins, Elvis, Sade, Ella Fitz, Everyone doing their own thing — a really bendy instructor helping you and a hard ass workout. That’s what the Music Mondays at Con Amor are. Mindy was really clear about what we needed to be doing — an excellent instructor (even if you’re a beginner like moi.) We went through the poses quickly but thoroughly and it was so fun to have something to listen to over my labored «deep» breathing.
I’m concerned they’ll get TOO busy as more and more people find out about it. Great location, drop in pricing of $ 10 a class (with an 11th free.) If you’re really into the higher spiritual nature of things then the Music Monday class probably isn’t for you. Neither is the yoga-​barre class with optional tutus they have piled in a big basket in the corner but there probably IS something for you — just drop in and check it out.
Also, I’m typing this with as little movement in my arms as possible because OUCH.
