About Us
We are a Refuge: We strive to offer space where people can experience relief from the stress of modern life. We maintain a place of refuge through the way that we engage and set the tone within our space, holding respect for the energy of the space and community.
Our spacious studio (at nearly 1500 sq. ft.) is situated upstairs on the 3rd floor, in the heart of the historic Montavilla neighborhood in outer southeast Portland. The space is alive with plants, hardwood floors, plenty of natural light, and a thorough selection of yoga props!
We offer a variety of both in-person and online classes, workshops, private sessions, and events!
We use our hallways as gallery space for visual art, and offer artist residencies. Are you an artist interested in showing your work in our studio? Reach out!
The studio is also available to rent and rates vary on a case-by-case basis– inquire here.
We provide an environment that supports:
Individual Purpose: through ritual, reflection, philosophy, community, embodiment, practice and contemplation.
Self care, nurturing and healing: Through practice for ourselves and teaching our students, we encourage self-nurturance, self-love, self-acceptance and body positivity. We teach skills for overcoming self-abandoning or self-limiting thoughts, beliefs and habits. We acknowledge that yoga is a powerful practice and a powerful medicine. While our different classes and teachers each provide a different intensity and remedy, each being the “right medicine” for a different person, we orient around the value of healing and supporting sustainability, health, growth and safety.
We strive to create a welcoming place for all community members who seek peace, and to be as accessible as possible to people of different religions, ethnicities, incomes, races, gender and sexual orientations, ages, sizes, abilities and trauma histories.
