Just a few spots left for Katarina’s Morning Stretch and SUP this Sunday!

From: 8:00 am - 11:00 am

Wake up, breathe, move, sweat, stretch & SUP.

Join us for a morning SUP paddle and stretch trip to celebrate Summer. We will set out on our journey at the Sellwood Riverfront Park and head north up the Willamette River towards Ross Island.

On the way, there is plenty of beautiful scenery, architecture and nature to enjoy. At the halfway point, we will tuck back into a cove where bald eagles nest and do some stretching on the boards, then make the loop back to where we launched at Sellwood Riverfront Park.

This is a really fun way to start your day and see the natural beauty of the Willamette River. You don’t have to have any SUP experience. We will teach you the basics of paddling at the start.

Head on over to our website and go to our workshops page for more details and to register.

Katarina knocked it out of the park last month with her Morning SUP & Stretch session on the Willamette River. Her students LOVED it!

She is offering it again on Sunday, August 25 from 8-11am.

Wake up, breathe, move, sweat, stretch and SUP!

Grabbing that last bit of summer, come play on the water, relish in the beautiful scenery, and enjoy your morning.

No SUP experience necessary! Sign up! Bring your own SUP (we have rental recommendations). You will have a blast!

Wednesdays you will find Kari teaching Vinyasa Flow at 6pm with Sally ending the day with her signature class Slow Flow and Rest at 7:30.

A few spots left in Savonn’s Enhance Your Practice Series.

Details make all the difference! In this series, you will learn how to enhance your yoga poses and sequences of poses. The key to this refinement is learning how to better adapt and attune the poses to fit your body and where you are with your yoga practice. You will also practice common transitions between poses and learn how to modify to meet your comfort level and range of motion.

Group size is limited, giving you more time to ask questions and explore the answers as well as opportunities to learn from each other and get more one on one attention.

This is an in-studio series only. Savonn will be walking around offering suggestions tailored specifically to those who are in the room.

TUESDAYS May 7-28.
4:30-5:45pm.

Oh happy day! Our lovely slow flow instructor has a birthday today!

Thank you for all that you do from teaching your weekly classes, guiding teachers in training and bringing your positive, calm energy into the studio.

We love you Nicole! ❤️

Sunshine and outdoor yoga! I opened up spots on the deck for my 9:30am and 11am classes tomorrow at Sellwood Yoga Sign up ahead of time to reserve yours.
