Who are we

At Yippie Yopi, we believe that movement should be more than just exercise, it should be an experience that nourishes the body, uplifts the mind, and connects you to your true self. Our studio is a welcoming, vibrant space filled with warmth, energy, and heart.

Established in 2010, Yippie Yopi has been a home for Napier's yoga community for over a decade. In 2025, current owner Alison took the reins, carrying forward the spirit and foundation built by Kristina and Meghann while adding her own heart, spark, and vision. She has shaped Yippie Yopi into more than a studio, it's a vibrant, welcoming home for Napier's hottest yoga community.

We pride ourselves on our community. Our teachers share their passion with authenticity, guiding every class with care, presence, and soul. Whether you’re stepping onto the mat for the very first time or deepening an established practice, you’ll find encouragement, laughter, and a supportive environment that celebrates progress at every level.

Yippie Yopi is a place where you can challenge yourself, find balance, and rediscover joy in movement. We believe in empowering our students to explore their potential and let their inner light shine, both in the studio and beyond.

Our goal is for every person who walks through our doors to feel encouraged, capable, and connected to the joy of movement.


Our Philosophy

Every body belongs here

We welcome all ages, stages, shapes, and levels. Wherever you're starting from, you have a place in this room.

Move with joy

Movement shouldn't feel like punishment. We're here to help you find the version of it that feels good, whether that's strong, slow, sweaty, or still.

Consistency over intensity

Showing up regularly matters more than going all out once. Small steps lead to big change.

Show up as you are

No perfection required. No comparison needed. Just you, on your mat, exactly as you are today. That's enough.
