At the studio, we believe in the power of real interactions, where conversations flow, challenges are faced together, and growth is something we experience—not just observe. Our intentional choice to be less active online reflects our commitment to a deeper mission: creating a space where authentic human connection and transformation can flourish in real life.

If you’re ready to move beyond the screen and into a community that supports your journey, we invite you to join us. Step out, step in, and experience what it means to be fully present with others who are on this path with you.

If you are curious about what we are actually doing please come to a class. Our teachers are ready to meet you in person and be with you in practice.

🌟 Reflecting on 2023 🌟

As we bid farewell to 2023, I’m thrilled to share some incredible milestones and reflections with all of you! 🎉 The Practice Space has been on an extraordinary journey this year, and it’s all thanks to each and every one of you.

🌟 30,894 Practice Hours Hosted: Together, we’ve immersed ourselves in mindful movement, creating a space for self-discovery and connection.

🌟 1,805 New Students: A warm welcome to all the new faces that joined our community this year! Your presence enriches our shared experience. One incredible student attended 160 classes and is now on the path to teaching certification!

🌟 6,302 Services Provided: From private sessions to group classes and workshops, we’ve engaged in opportunities for growth and well-being.

🌍 Global Reach: Our community knows no bounds, reaching students as far as Hawaii and Europe through virtual classes. We’ve truly taught around the world!

Drawing inspiration from Frozen 2, I’m reminded of Anna’s courage to “Do the next right thing.” In times of hopelessness or grief, this mantra resonates. Our practice hours weren’t always filled with love and light; life is non-linear. Our intimate community faced challenges, including divorce, birth, job loss, chronic medical issues, terminal illness, and relocation.

Acknowledging this heaviness is crucial, and for those directly affected, it’s been an incredibly painful journey. Yet, you didn’t turn away. You showed up on the mat, the reformer, or the CoreAlign ladder, breathing through the beautiful and painful moments—that is the essence of the practice.

You give me chills. You brought tears to my eyes, reminding me of why I care so much, why I will never give up. Thank you for showing up, for embodying resilience, and for inspiring us all to “do the next right thing.”

Wishing you a reflective and joyous new year,
Krista 🌈

We're not here to compete. In fact, we believe in supporting all markets and small businesses, because together, we can achieve the unified vision of a healthier Portland! 🌟 That's why I want to take a moment for a shout out to our neighbors at . Their practice calendar is absolutely stunning! Not to mention how magical it is to see the “oneness” vibrations in this world. 🪄 Indescribably magical. All working towards helping students gain the recognition they deserve for their hard work. 🙌

Wanted to share some love for Yin Yoga – In a world that's always on fast-forward, Yin Yoga invites us to slow down, breathe, and surrender. 🕊️💆‍♂️ It is the down to its roots kind of practice; a journey inward. 🌌✨

Picture this: long, luxurious holds, deep stretches, and a meditative atmosphere that melts away stress. 🧘‍♂️💫 The magic happens when you release, letting go of tension, and allowing the subtle opening of connective tissues. 🌈🌟🕸️

So, why Yin? It's the perfect complement to our dynamic lives, a beautiful balance to the yang energy we encounter daily. 💫🔁 Take a break from the hustle and find stillness and find some stillness with us 🙏🌸

Tag a friend who needs a little yin-spiration in their life, and let's spread the love for this transformative practice! 💞✨ 🌿🌸

Thank you Anne Marie Witmer for keeping the Yin practice alive and well at The Practice Space. Join Anne for a special monthly yin practice Sunday evenings. Detail on our website linked in bio.

Even if we can’t practice or breath the way we think we should or have been taught to, just dreaming about a fully present and immersed breath can calm and change your neurology, physiology, and emotional state.

Our human form is simply that powerful.

Your practice may feel independent of the larger world but it is deeply interconnected with future work and the healing of our world. With each breath my we move forward into peace.

is hosting a 40day session for dedicated practitioners in October.

Clarification…

Being a dedicated practitioner doesn’t mean you have “arrived”, it doesn’t mean you are “awakened”, you are not “enlightened, you are not “at peace”… but you care to learn and to study the path of yoga. To experience cumulative effects of a dedicated practice.
