Moving from Texas, I have been on the search for a new yoga studio to call my home. Lila East End…read moreis a small studio where the mats face each other, you WILL be squeezed next to other people. In the middle, is a narrow path way for the instructor to pass through and to demonstrate. This is not your customary practice, but hey it's a new place so why not try something new? Came in to an "All Levels Yoga" with Chelsea. Chelsea, is an incredibly beautiful person inside and out. It's hard not to be mesmerized by her! However... this definitely felt more like a Beginners class. It is great if you're just starting or you've been out of practice for awhile. Chelsea has all the best intentions, but I tend to get lost (not mesmerized) by her verbiage. In yoga, a flow should be easy to follow just by closing your eyes and listening to what the instructor is saying. You follow through continuously, and that's what creates "The Flow". I've practiced for 9 years now, but for some odd reason, I WAS LOST. My feet were everywhere thinking this position was something new, when in reality, I'VE DONE WARRIOR POSES HUNDREDS OF TIMES. WHY COULDN'T SHE JUST SAY THAT. She ended class with everyone in Savasana... and proceeded to sing. I was definitely thrown off by that, but was strangely comforted by her soothing "Mom Voice" at the same time, And so, the search continues.

This friendly little yoga studio really fulfilled my need for a midday break on a recent trip to…read morePortland. I was staying at The Press Hotel, about a 7-10 minute scenic stroll from here and decided to do a drop-in class at noon on a Thursday with Heather. The room is extremely inviting and comfy, with a perfect temperature (I dislike extremely warm rooms) and just enough natural light. Mats face each other, which I'm not used to, but it's definitely the way to optimize the long narrow space. Heather's class was playful, at times a bit more intense, but I'd say this is an all levels class, verging more on the gentle side. What I liked most about it was the departure from "typical" sun salutations. I get the idea that you can expect something a little different from class to class. Heather is an excellent instructor, kind and patient. If I lived in the area, I definitely would be a regular in her class. I'm already looking forward to my next trip to Portland so that I may return to this sweet spot!

Her flows are quick, but that is normal for vinyasa flows.

Tara teaches every Monday & Wednesday evening, and rotates on Saturday mornings with Peter.

The yoga space itself is quite large and the teachers come up with interesting, challenging, and most importantly --FUN, sequences (with varying options to target different levels of practice). It's not just basic, ho-hum, poses. Both Alanna and Elizabeth are exceptional teachers, and I highly recommend their classes. I also appreciate that the teachers incorporate music into their practices (I have been to hot yoga and some regular vinyasa classes that utilize NO music at all and it really detracts from the overall experience). Ommmmm. Two enthusiastic thumbs up!

In my mind, I was equating the word "core" to be "the basics, the core program" you know. Holy smokes!!! What I got was 60 minutes of working on my core. Killer. In the very best way.
