Join on Wednesdays 12-1 pm for Yoga Flow & Release

💫 This class is the perfect one hour nourishment for your body. It’s effortful movement partnered with moments of deeper mobilization. You may be utilizing massage techniques like you would in the neural roll-out but it will be seamlessly sprinkled through a flowing yoga āsana practice.

Prāṇa was given a prominent position in the early yoga texts as it was seen to be the force that energized all the faculties within the human body. Prāṇa via the breath was considered to be a direct bridge to the unchanging unified field of consciousness underlying all existence.

This unified substratum of reality was known as Brahman. As a unifying principle, it was surmised that the unchanging basis of reality must also exist within the human being and was called the inner self or ātman.

The scholar Robert Luyster suggests that “this principle of ultimate unity, finally, since it constituted the true reality of all phenomena, must constitute the true and inner reality also of man; and since the fundamental reality supporting man’s life had from pre philosophical times been identified with the breath, the presence of Brahman in man was naturally localized within his prāṇa (breath) or ātman.”

The ātman was often conceived of as the internalized sun residing within the heart (hṛdaya). Luyster notes moments in the texts which suggest that the arteries that surround the heart were thought to be a material connection to the rays of the sun; “when one proceeds through the arteries toward the heart, he also obtains the light of the sun.”

The external sun became the symbol of universal consciousness of which prāṇa was the active principle. The rays of the sun were thought to be rays of prāṇa.

We enter into our body and onto this planet through our individual breath. When our time comes to an end, we depart with our final exhale.

Every breath in between is shared in relationship with others and our environment. The value of a vision of the breath as both individual, as well as shared is that it recognizes the unique story of each individual, yet the shared breath reminds us that we coexist with the world around us.

For this very reason, the breath holds the potential to acknowledge both multiplicity and commonality, origin and apotheosis.

The importance of the breath has been obscured in much of the modern approach to yoga, but we can revitalize its role one conscious breath at a time.

40 Days Spring 2026: The Three Strands of Reality w/ will be an exploration of a foundational philosophical concept known as the three guṇa-s.

Understanding the role of the guṇa-s and their rhythms within us provides insights on how to make lifestyle choices which support us with a greater sense of equanimity and wellbeing. The guṇa model is a powerful tool that we can employ in our day to day choices and within our Yoga practices as it teaches us how to live harmoniously within duality, paradox, and complication.

This 7 week series will meet on Thursday evenings from 7-8:45 pm for a community meeting where we will be exploring the topic in group discussion, journal prompts and breaking into pairs or small groups for further exploration.

The aim of this program is that each participant will establish and commit to their daily practice AND actively attempt to apply the philosophical theory and insights to one’s lived experience through various prompts, practices, and reflection.

Our practices become much more impactful and integrated when we understand the theory behind them. Theory provides context and direction, but if it’s not applied to our lives, it remains an intellectual pursuit or puzzle that lives in our mind.

This series will be a support to students wanting to deepen their understanding of yoga philosophy and dedication to practice. This series would also benefit yoga teachers who would like more exposure and understanding of yoga philosophy.

Yin Toolkit 2026 - A Journey Through the Five Elements & Five Archetypes of the Soul w/
Spring/Wood Element
April 12th
3 - 5:30p

Nature does not move in straight lines. It moves in cycles.

In nature, growth emerges from stillness - activity follows rest - expansion gives way to integration and ultimately to release and dissolution. Each year, we too move through a seasonal cycle of transformation. Spring awakens feelings of courage and action; summer opens our hearts to joy and connection; late summer nourishes a sense of stability; autumn requires release and acceptance of impermanence and winter draws us inward for restoration and reflection.

When we align with the wisdom of nature’s cycles, something profound happens: we stop forcing life and begin moving with it.

The Yin Seasonal Toolkit Series invites you to consciously experience the year as a living journey of renewal, growth, connection, and transformation aligning with the rhythms of the Five Elements of Traditional Chinese Medicine—Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal and Water. In a world that constantly pushes us toward productivity and acceleration, the Five Elements offer another way of living that honors timing, balance, and natural rhythms.

Thank you to everyone who participated in yesterday’s International Women’s Day class and the wider Portland community that joined the Honk & Wave.

Courage is contagious! 🕊️

In times of uncertainty and destabilization, many of us are asking how to stay grounded, connected, and courageous without burning out. This class is a space to pause and practice together with the intention to enhance awareness and personal well-being for the mission of supporting collective care and taking meaningful action. We gather to steady and nurture ourselves and to remember we don’t have to do this alone!

During this one hour class we will focus on stability and ease through accessible movement of yoga postures and energetic work through the focus of the breath. We will conclude class with a brief meditation. The aim of this class is to cultivate collective care for supporting both personal grounding and shared action.

Brave Women Unite Honk and Wave

For those that are interested, we will march from the studio to SE Belmont and César Chávez for a Brave Women Honk & Wave solidarity event between 3:30-4:30pm.

Bring your signs, friends, and let’s stand up to defend our rights, our bodies, our futures, and insist on nothing less than radical inclusion!

All who support women’s and LGBTQIA2S+ rights are welcome and encouraged to join us. This space is inclusive of all marginalized communities. Here we believe that trans women are women. We are also mindful of the intersectionalities of gender and sexuality for those in our BIPOC community. Let’s lift the voices of those who are often not heard. No one is free until we are all free!

Rights. Justice. Action. For ALL Women and Girls!
