Our new Group Meditation class continues tonight and every Wednesday at 7pm. Guided by a rotating set of Atrium facilitators, this class will include a lightly guided meditation followed by a group discussion about the practice. This is a space for collective learning, shared practice, and community connection—rather than a format centered around an “expert” teaching meditation. Facilitators are .heather .dalsfoist and Gillian Hull.

we’ve been having so much fun in the 6am HIIT classes that we are adding two more class times. Join Kat LaSeur on Tuesdays and Thursdays at 11:15am for 30 minutes of equipment-free, high-intensity interval training (HIIT)

5-45 seconds of (near) maximal effort, followed by periods of rest. Think high knees, burpees, sprints, squat jumps, jumping jacks, etc. Quick! Come get it done.

Due to the nature of this class, we recommend indoor-only training shoes, but you are welcome to participate barefoot.

While this class may sound daunting, HIIT is not just for young athletes. In fact, in addition to strength training, it is the most recommended type of training for people in perimenopause and menopause. All it takes is hard work. Speed is relative; effort is not.

30-minute classes are $12.

We offer a sliding scale of $8-$16 for this class.

there are 12pm Hatha Flow Yoga classes immediately following if you’d like to complement your HIIT class.

Register using our link in bio or at atriumpdx.com.
*Please note that you must register for the 6am classes by 9pm the night before. Class will be cancelled if there are not at least two registrations by 9pm.

We are excited to welcome back for another 4 week series on Saturdays in February!

If you want to learn the basic poses of AcroYoga or brush up on your technique, this is the class for you. Each class will include different beginner poses, foundational for building an Acro vocabulary. The poses will vary from week to week to keep it fresh. Drop-ins are welcome although registering for the series builds trust in your movement and each other.

These introductory classes will invite you to try new ways of communicating and connecting to other people. Each class will offer step-by-step breakdowns of partner acrobatic poses and how to safely spot each other. You will also receive tips for building strength for Acro and other inversion practices.

Join for the 4-class series or drop into the class that works for your schedule: Siding scale $80-$100 for all four classes or $25 for drop-ins.
