JadeYoga Names Austin's Present Practice Its April 2026 Featured Studio

Present Practice, the downtown Austin studio founded by Morgan O'Hare, earned JadeYoga's April 2026 Featured Studio designation this week, giving the mat brand's global customer base a direct line to one of yoga's more ambitious boutique operations.

The feature, published April 1, profiles Present Practice's flagship space at 206 E 4th St and the full scope of its programming: daily heated and non-heated classes, 200-hour and 300-hour Yoga Alliance-certified teacher trainings, an on-demand online library, and a slate of 12 international retreats scheduled across 2026. Destinations this year span Kenya, Bhutan, the Philippines, Portugal, and Peru, a lineup that positions Present Practice less as a neighborhood studio and more as a traveling school with a permanent home base.

The flagship address reflects that ambition in its bones. The studio's interior features 10-foot doors sourced from Morocco and an 18th-century Chinese altar table, details that make the boutique aesthetic feel less curated and more collected. O'Hare built the space around a specific sensibility, and it shows.

She also framed the studio's identity around something less tangible than square footage or retreat calendars. "Community is truly the core of everything we do at Present Practice, and we'd be honored to welcome you into ours!" O'Hare said in the profile.

For JadeYoga, the designation is part of a broader editorial strategy the brand has leaned into: using studio profiles to build loyalty while steering its mat-buying audience toward trainings and retreats. Present Practice fits that model cleanly. A student who discovers the studio through the JadeYoga feature can move from casual browser to YTT enrollee or retreat participant with minimal friction, choosing between the 200-hour and 300-hour formats depending on where they are in their practice.

The timing positions Present Practice squarely for spring and summer bookings. JadeYoga's audience skews toward committed practitioners who invest in premium equipment, exactly the demographic drawn to a 300-hour training or a week in Bhutan. For studios building international retreat pipelines, brand-endorsed visibility at that scale carries real reach.
