Community Comes First at YOCO
At YOCO Yoga Collective, yoga is just the beginning. Our free community events are designed to help Pittsburgh slow down, connect, move, and belong — no experience required, no membership needed.
Our Why
Wellness That Feels Like Home
Community is one of YOCO's core values. We believe wellness should feel welcoming, accessible, and deeply human — not intimidating, exclusive, or out of reach.
At YOCO, you'll find people connecting beyond the mat. Making friends over tea after class. Showing up for each other through life's seasons. Healing together in safe, supportive spaces.
Whether you're brand new to yoga, returning after a long break, or simply looking for your people in Pittsburgh's South Hills — you belong here. No experience required for many of our events. Just an open heart and a willingness to show up.
- Beginners always welcome
- No yoga experience needed
- Pittsburgh-rooted, community-first culture
- Accessible wellness for all bodies and backgrounds
- A safe space for healing, connection, and growth

Community FAQ
Are YOCO community events really free?
Yes! Many of our community events are completely free and open to everyone in Pittsburgh and the surrounding South Hills area. Some events are donation-based, meaning you pay what you can — no one is ever turned away. Check individual event listings for details on pricing.
Do I need yoga experience to attend community events?
Absolutely not! Most of our community events — including Full Moon Circles, Momma Meetups, Journaling Circles, and seasonal gatherings — require zero yoga experience. They're designed for everyone, including complete beginners and people who've never stepped on a mat.
What should I bring to a community event?
For movement-based events, bring a yoga mat, a towel, and plenty of water. For gatherings and circles, just bring yourself and an open mind. We'll let you know in the event description if anything specific is needed. We practice barefoot, so you can leave your shoes at the door.
Are beginners welcome at YOCO?
Wholeheartedly yes. YOCO was built for community, and that means everyone. Many of our most beloved regulars started as total beginners who came to a free event first. Our teachers and community members will make you feel at home from the moment you walk in.
Where is YOCO Yoga Collective located?
YOCO Yoga Collective is located at 250 Mount Lebanon Boulevard, Pittsburgh, PA 15234 — in the heart of South Hills Pittsburgh. We're easily accessible from Dormont, Mt. Lebanon, Brookline, Bethel Park, and surrounding Pittsburgh neighborhoods.
Are community events heated?
It depends on the event! Some movement-based community events are held in our heated studio, while others use our warm or unheated space. Event descriptions will always note the temperature. If heat is a concern, reach out to us — we'll help you find the right fit.
Can I come alone?
Please do! Many of our community members come solo and leave with new friends. Our events are specifically designed to foster genuine connection. You won't be standing awkwardly in a corner — our community is warm, welcoming, and genuinely excited to meet new people.
Do I need to sign up ahead of time?
For some events, especially popular ones like Sound Baths and Full Moon Circles, we recommend signing up in advance as spots can fill quickly. For drop-in community gatherings, you're welcome to just show up. Check the event listing for registration details.
What kinds of community events does YOCO host?
We host a wide variety of free and donation-based events including: Full Moon Circles, Momma Meetups, Sound Baths, Metal Yoga & Reverb nights, Journaling Circles, Camp YOCO, seasonal gatherings, donation-based yoga classes, outdoor events, and more. New events are added regularly — follow us on Instagram or sign up for our newsletter to stay in the loop.
I'm brand new. How do I get started?
We're so glad you found us! To make your first visit smooth, you can create an account and sign your waiver online ahead of time here. Arriving 10 to 15 minutes early gives you a chance to settle in, meet your teacher, and get comfortable in our space.
Are there age requirements?
For our heated classes, students need to be at least 16 years old. If you're under 18 and want to join an adult class, we ask that a parent or guardian comes along with you.
Students under 18 require a parent or guardian to sign a separate waiver, found here.
