Join Betsey every-other-Sunday this summer for FREE community yoga at Cascade Park near the studio. Starting this weekend :)! Betsey values connection and authenticity over performance which shines through in her accessible teachings.

Link in bio to register.

More about Betsey ✨
Betsey fell in love with yoga not because of the fancy poses or flexibility, but because of how it changed the way she moved through life off the mat. Yoga helped her move with more strength, sure, but also with more awareness, intention and compassion.

What began as a physical outlet quickly became a pathway to self-inquiry, resilience, and learning how to meet each moment with curiosity instead of control. Teaching yoga felt like a natural extension of that journey - a way to share what yoga gave her: the tools to return to center again and again, with presence, clarity and joy (not perfection.) To her, the yoga isn’t in the perfect posture - it’s in the moment you smile after falling out of it. It’s the effort you bring, the silliness to show up and the grace you offer yourself regardless of the outcome.

She is a 200-hour RYT, trained here at Parallel 45 in 2024. She’s currently finishing one college degree and about to start another - because apparently she likes to do all the things: work, school, yoga and wrestling with how she feels about the Oxford comma. Betsey is grateful to be part of a community that values connection and authenticity over performance.

Warmest welcome to our newest instructor Jill Breker!! Jill has been a special part of this community for over a year and recently graduated from our 200-hour YTT. Enjoy her nourishing Slow Flow Thursdays at 9:30am.

More about Jill 🌷
Hello! My name is Jill, and I’m excited to join this community, having completed my 200-hour YTT certification in March 2025 led by the wonderful team at Parallel 45!

In early 2024 I made a major shift. After 26 years, I left my field of nursing and health care leadership to reset my energy and realign with my purpose – I simply want to help others feel good and be happy. I have shifted my focus more fully to my love of leadership coaching and finally realized my long-held vision of becoming a yoga teacher. And despite the uncertainty, I feel more fulfilled and present than ever.

I have practiced yoga on and off for 20 years, and I understand the transformative impact yoga can have on mental and physical health. My lane is Hatha/Slow Flow/Gentle styles of yoga, focused on creating a safe space for all levels, helping you unlock energy, cultivate mindfulness, and foster growth. Let’s connect and explore the power of yoga together.

Outside of the studio, I live in Brush Prairie with my husband Paul and our 2 Aussie Shepherds, Fergus and Charlie. We love to connect with family and friends, travel, and experience amazing people, places, foods and beverages!

I wanted to post these studio photos and welcome those of you who are exploring our community for the first time.

After nearly 8 years, our mission remains true: to build a community centered around love and kindness through offering accessible unlimited yoga instructed by inspiring & exceptional yoga teachers.

Whether it’s a gentle experience, creative flows, philosophical inspiration, chanting or deepening the connection to your heart, we welcome you to our community.

CONGRATULATIONS to our graduating class of 2025!!! ✨

These brave souls were ready to expand and my goodness what an honor and experience it was to witness that expansion.

Each teacher taught a 60 minute yoga class (including a wide variety of styles) that channelled their unique gifts and was so beautifully authentic to them.

This cohort connected in ways we’ve never seen before. Cheers to filling this world with more love and peace. We love you all!!! ✨

Nearly 3 years after expanding to Portland, and together building a community rooted in love, Parallel 45 will be transitioning away from the South Waterfront and passing the torch to YoYoYogi on April 1st.

Handing this precious community over to a team of yogis I deeply respect, feels like a wish fulfilled.

YoYoYogi, family-owned and loved since 2010, will be introducing many HOT and unique style classes led by their team of instructors.

Parallel 45’s last class in the South Waterfront will be a free community class on Friday, March 28th. We hope you join us!

I will be forever grateful for all of the love and care that our instructors have poured into the Portland community.

Keep an eye out for them teaching virtually or subbing in Vancouver!

The Vancouver studio is thriving and I am excited to devote my and my family’s energy into nurturing this community for the long haul.

8 years down, 100 years to go!

With a full heart of gratitude,
Riley, Alex & Lily
