Voted Portland’s best yoga studio! Welcome to Portland’s downtown yoga studio, located just st

04/30/2026

It is an honor and joy to share that the PYC teaching team continues to grow! Please join me in giving our newest instructor Gloria (she/ella) a warm welcome! Gloria will be joining our class schedule this fall - until then, be sure to say hi when you catch her in the studio! Gloria - tell us about yourself!
🇨🇴🌊 Hi! I’m Gloria, and I was born in Colombia and have called Maine home for 26 years. I love Portland’s walkability, its open green spaces, the ocean and especially its vibrant community. I work in community building and have a background in public health.
🧘🏾🦁 I started practicing yoga 27 years ago with a prenatal yoga class and haven’t stopped
practicing since! Yoga has been a companion through many life healing events and practicing to be in the present moment. I was so pleased to deepen my practice by taking part in the PYC YTT with Christina and Tizzy and discover it brings me great joy guiding others to drop into this moment with breathwork and mindful movement. Facilitating yoga (beyond the asana) has been incredibly fun and joyful, and I am so looking forward to offerings with the PYC community. I am grounded in several traditions of healing: meditation, somatic embodiment, mindfulness and Reiki, and bring all of those things to the practice on the mat. To note: there will most likely be LIONS BREATH if we practice together!
🏊🏼‍♀️👩🏼‍🌾 I love playing with clay, and it’s a great way to practice being in the moment and also practice giving away creations! Open-water swimming is also an invigorating and meditative practice of mine, a way to be fully with the ocean. I love the smell and feel of salt water all around me (and a wetsuit keeps me cozy). Silent meditation retreats are how I really come back to center, a time I value immensely. Meditation in all its forms is keeping me going in this chaotic time and that’s what I want to share with the PYC community. I can also be found in the winter cross-country skiing and in the non-snowy times digging in the community garden on the East End.

We just returned from Koh Lanta, Thailand after our first international PYC retreat! What a sweet, unforgettable journey.
It’s hard to articulate the experience. The water was warm, the sun was hot and the food was delicious (very, very delicious).
We got completely soaked celebrating Thai New Year (Songkran), rolled out our mats for daily yoga to the sound of the birds, shared quiet moments in beach meditation, walked alongside elephants and spent a full day island hopping by boat.
But the very best part was the people. A group of strangers at the start who slowly became something closer by the end, through shared experiences, long days and a lot of laughter.
Thank you for trusting us with your time and your presence. We’re so grateful you were part of it. We love you, keep going!
Next year’s retreat destination is already in motion. Stay tuned 💛

We are so grateful for a full weekend of workshops with !
Her work brings a kind of depth that’s hard to put into words...less about adding something new (though you can be sure her book is one of a kind), more about giving closer attention to what’s already here. The way she invites critical inquiry, especially when examining yoga’s history through feminist and decolonial lenses, created space for deeper reflection and more honest conversation.
Anjali sparked genuine inquiry. Rather than leaving with neat answers, we all left with more meaningful questions. In that way, it felt like a true learning experience.
Thank you for joining us, Anjali, to lead two powerful workshops an our quarterly team meeting! We are so appreciative of the space you held and everything that came through it (including a little dance party). We miss you already!

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.
