About Stillpoint Yoga + Wellness

Calm + welcoming, beginner-friendly.

First class freeBeginner-friendly100+ classes per week

Stillpoint started in 2016 because our founder, Tessa, kept hearing the same thing from friends in Austin: 'I want to try yoga, but every studio I walk into makes me feel like I'm doing it wrong.' Tessa had been teaching for six years at studios across town, and she'd watched too many first-time students leave class quietly, embarrassed, and never come back. So she opened a studio with a different rule: nobody walks out of Stillpoint feeling like they don't belong. That meant beginner-first programming, opt-in adjustments only, real modifications for every body, and a roster of teachers who could read a room. It also meant a community-first business model — month-to-month memberships, free first classes, no pressure sales, and free childcare in our Round Rock studio so parents could actually get on the mat. We opened our second studio in Cedar Park in 2018, Round Rock in 2019, Pflugerville in 2021, and Lakeway in 2023. We launched our first 200-hour Teacher Training in 2019 and have certified over 200 teachers since — many of whom now teach in our studios. We're proud to be locally owned and independently operated. We're not a chain, we're not a franchise, and we have no plans to be either. We grow slowly, on purpose, and we'd rather have five studios that feel like home than fifty that feel like gyms.

What we believe

Yoga is for every body

Big bodies, small bodies, new bodies, post-injury bodies, pregnant bodies, aging bodies. If you have a body, you have a yoga practice.

Beginners are the heart of the studio

Every teacher we hire has to be able to teach a beginner class beautifully. No exceptions.

Community is the practice

The poses are the way in. The friendships are the point. Our membership is month-to-month and the studio stays neighborhood-scale on purpose.

What our clients say

"I'd avoided yoga for years because I thought I had to be flexible first. The Beginner Yoga class at Stillpoint changed that in one session. The teacher walked me through every pose without making me feel like the only newbie in the room."
— Maya R., East Austin
"I work 50 hours a week at a startup downtown and Hot Yoga is the only thing that consistently gets me out of my head. The Cedar Park studio is on my drive home and I've been going three times a week for a year."
— Devon S., Cedar Park
"Found Stillpoint through their Prenatal class and stayed for the community. I made real friends here. My daughter is six months old and I'm back in Vinyasa Flow now."
— Priya K., Round Rock
