Pearl District Location:
Classes are held in a beautiful historic building at NW 13th and Hoyt in the heart of Portland’s popular Pearl District. The Pearl is considered to be the safest neighborhood in Portland. Many of the buildings (like ours) were warehouses a hundred years ago. The charming repurposed buildings are now joined by sleek modern buildings in a vibrant, upscale neighborhood of residences, hotels, parks, retail stores, bars, restaurants, coffee shops, art galleries and a variety of businesses (including a top rated yoga studio in our building).
My students love stepping out at lunchtime and choosing from sushi, burgers, Mexican food, juice bars, pizza, Whole Foods and way too many other dining options to list.
When people register for classes (or any time you request it) we provide a hotel list that includes walking-distance accommodations. Of course, there are also many Airbnb options nearby.
First Thursday is a Pearl District event held in the evening on the first Thursday of the month from May – October. It’s right outside our door and super fun. The art galleries in the neighborhood hold openings. Some serve refreshments. Art and craft vendors sell their wares in booths set up on NW 13th Ave. Retail businesses stay open and host public events. There is so much to enjoy including free live music and dancing in the street — if you’re so inclined.
Fun Portland Facts: Portland is home to 110 record stores, 188 microbreweries and 301 tattoo studios.
Do you want to practice yoga without leaving the building? No problem. YoYoYogi is right downstairs. This peaceful park is a short walk from our studio -- a great place to relax and enjoy your lunch outdoors. This May - October evening event is right outside our door.
The kid friendly fountain in this Pearl District park is a summertime family favorite. Are you a book lover? No visit to Portland is complete without browsing the 1 million plus books at Powell's. The world's largest independent book store is a short walk from our studio. World class coffee? Check. It's right downstairs in our building.

Forest Park Location:
Classes are held in a peaceful wooded retreat-like setting near Portland’s Forest Park. This location is about three miles west of downtown.
Public transportation does not serve this location. Cycling is not a reasonable option. The route requires travel on a busy road that has no shoulder in many areas. There is also a 1/2 mile 500 foot elevation gain. You will need to drive, carpool, ride-share or choose walking-distance accommodations. There is plenty of free parking.
When people register for classes (or any time you request it) we provide a hotel list that includes walking-distance accommodations.
