Has your teacher ever said “Go ahead with an inversion if it’s in your practice!” and a few people actually do the inversion? What if it’s not in your practice, and you want a safe place to try?
Join Danielle this April for an inversions workshop! Yoga instructors - we’ve added a teachers module in addition to the inversions workshop so you can learn how to safely offer inversions in your classes!

Starting tonight, every Monday night 6:45pm *Virtual* Yin class is free.
We believe resisting systems of oppression is an integral piece of liberation work — one of the main pillars of the practice of Yoga.
We also believe that a practice of rest supports resiliency and longevity in resistance efforts.
We believe rest is for all.
As such, we humbly offer this free weekly virtual class for folks who are on the front lines of resistance work, organizing, and other forms of community care. Additionally, this option is for anyone who needs to practice from home, whether that is for safety, health, accessibility or another reason. This is an honor-system, no-questions-asked way for anyone to be guided and held in a rest practice at PYC.
This class joins our other free, donation and sliding scale offerings at the studio that we are honored to offer.

On Friday, January 30, all classes will be free so folks can join us for rest, grounding and connection while standing in solidarity with those striking to protest the funding of ICE. It is our hope that the $ saved may be reallocated to a local organization offering boots on the ground help – the , , and are a few you may consider. 

We also wanted to take this moment to share endless thanks to the many ways this community has already shown up. Over the past ~week, we’ve matched donations to 3 organizations doing incredible work – Maine Solidarity Fund, Project Relief, Immigrant Legal Advocacy Project – raising $6k in total with student donations and studio match.

In an effort to ensure this work sustainably continues beyond Friday’s free classes, we wanted to share our ongoing low-no cost weekly classes:

- Weekly Free Beginner’s Vinyasa every Friday at 5:30pm
- Weekly Donation Vinyasa every Saturday at 12pm starting in February
- Weekly Free Virtual Yin every Monday at 6:45pm starting in February 

Our yoga practice is one of sustainability, so ensuring these efforts continue well past this moment matters. 

Thank you for joining us in our continued efforts to lean into the teachings of yoga, hold space for our community members, stand in solidarity with our local businesses and act with integrity. It’s a privilege to do the work of endeavoring to strike this balance.

We’re excited and honored to welcome (she/her) this March for two powerful and informative workshops. Anjali Rao’s book, Yoga as Embodied Resistance, illuminates the essential—but often unseen—relationships between caste and gender in yoga, bridging scholarship, history and cultural analysis. We’ll discuss how yoga can be a vital path to resistance, agency and collective liberation. Come with questions, curiosities and an open mind to explore and challenge our notions around our practice.

We add another incredible human to the PYC team! Please join me in welcoming Cat (she/her) to the squad! Cat graduated from PYC’s YTT in 2024 and completed a fitness training and mentorship with us in 2025; now she’s stepping into teaching fitness! Expect to get your sweat on with Cat in the coming weeks – in the meantime, let’s learn a bit more about Cat!
🧘🏻‍♀️ I’ve been taking yoga classes since childhood, but my practice deepened in my late teens. As I moved around the country for school and work, finding a yoga or fitness studio became my way of finding home. Shifting my mindset from seeing movement as punishment to celebrating it as a gift has made it an essential part of my daily life.
🏙️ I’m originally from NYC and moved to Portland with my husband three years ago. We love it here and spend most of our free time exploring the midcoast.
🧐 I work as a Strategist, and I’m super curious by nature. I’m always eager to learn about different things, places and people. I recently went on a deep dive of why tinned fish packaging is so beautiful and now I collect them! 
♐️♌️♉️ I’m a Sag Sun, Leo Rising, and Ta**us Moon - yeehaw!!!!
🚲 Some of my favorite things are reading, dancing, biking around town, laughing with my girlfriends and playing backgammon. I try not to take life too seriously and always aim to prioritize fun and connection.

The PYC team grows! Y’all, please give Emily (she/her) a warm welcome! Emily is a PYC YTT graduate, and is now teaching fitness! Mark your calendars – you can catch Emily in a 🆕 PYC Pilates class every Friday at 4pm starting next week! Emily – tell us about yourself!
🩰 Hi yall, I’m Emily! I was first introduced to pilates as a form of cross training for ballet, which I trained in for 15 years. I continued to crave creative yet functional movement and returned to the modality as a student...and now a teacher! I completed my 200-hour YTT at PYC in the fall of 2024 and a fitness mentorship training in the fall of 2025. 
🧶 I have far too many hobbies… but please introduce me to a new one! I love any activity that will get me outside (running, skiing, gardening, hiking, biking) and anything creative (pottery, printmaking, knitting, painting). I’m always in search of a good adventure and a new craft ;)
🥾 In addition to teaching at PYC, I work for a land trust in midcoast Maine. Every day looks different…from digging clams to building trails to trudging through marshes! I feel so lucky to call our beautiful state home. 
💪🏽 I joined PYC shortly after moving back to Maine and it feels very full circle to now join its staff. The studio has been instrumental in making Portland feel like home and I couldn’t be more excited for this journey with you all!

Our schedule grows in the new year, starting with Slow Vinyasa! This class is a flow-based asana practice that moves a bit slower. Like a regular Vinyasa practice, you’ll explore a series of postures linked to breath. In Slow Vinyasa, you’ll use props intelligently to ease transitions between postures and deepen stretches. You’ll also build heat with intentionally longer holds. Expect class to be a slow burn, with spaciousness to explore pranayama and a generous cool-down and rest.
