Portland, OR based yogini & instructor. Galen was first introduced to yoga as a supplement to her ballet training over a decade ago.

She loved the familiarity of the dance-like movement and caught the yoga bug right away, but found herself busy living abroad, attending college, and working in New York City. Looking for a new way of life, Galen moved to Portland, listened to her intuition, and signed up for YoYoYogi’s teacher training course under the direction of Alex and Terri Cole. Daily yoga practice and study quickly left h

er feeling more balanced, secure, and happy, and Galen hopes to share these sentiments with each of her students through her creative Vinyasa flow classes.

Join me for Seaside Renewal: A Fall Yoga Retreat on the OR Coast! 🌊

I am delighted to officially announce my first yoga retreat taking place this October and hope you'll join me! 🎉

This has been a dream of mine for YEARS! The journey to get here has been looooong friends; including but not limited to: the pandemic and cancelled sold-out retreats, the creation and dissolution of a yoga retreat business, hours in therapy processing "not enough-ness," and employers telling me I could never do this.

These bumps in the road make this announcement so much sweeter. I am thrilled to be here and want nothing more than for you to JOIN ME for 3 nights of yoga, relaxation, and community. Learn more via the link below and DM me with any questions!

Burnout. That's the gist of why I've been so quiet on this platform this year.

In the past 6 months, lots of lessons were learned (some several times over), skills acquired (I can teach kids yoga now!), and places visited (Cubs Spring Training! Korea!). There were many moments when I thought I really ought to post here... but it just didn't happen. Instead of falling victim to all-or-nothing thinking and throwing in the towel for good, I'm here, simply beginning again.

The very first Yoga Sutra 1.1 is Atha yoga-anushashaanam and translates to, "And now the exposition of Yoga is being made" (Satchidananda). Each of the thousands of translations emphasizes the nowness or present moment - that our practice begins here, it is now, and now, and now. Each moment is an opportunity to start once again.

So now, here I am! Portland has transitioned from winter to an early summer. My schedule is more aligned working with people that excite and value me and I have some very exciting projects in the works that I'm thrilled to share with you. If you haven't already subscribed to my newsletter, please do via the footer in my website below, as that's where I'll be sharing news first. It's good to be back!

Hi 👋🏻, I'm Galen and I'm about 9 years late in writing an intro post!

I am a yoga and movement teacher specializing in trauma-informed and accessible practices with nearly a decade of experience. I've taught yoga in studios, gyms, offices, and outpatient facilities, to students with disabilities, trauma survivors, professional athletes, children, and more; managed successful yoga studios; and graduated from a handful of yoga teacher trainings. I pride myself in being a lifelong student with years of yoga, music, dance, strength, and endurance training, allowing me to teach from various modalities. My hope is always to share shapes, breathing techniques, meditations, and philosophy in a way that students walk away with tools to feel good in their bodies and calm in their minds.

When I'm not teaching yoga, training personal clients, or managing NOW Yoga, you can find me hanging out with my amazing husband and our 2 kitties 😻🐈‍⬛, eating my way through Portland's awesome food scene 😋, and dreaming up my next travel adventure.

I'd love to move with you! Check out my schedule via the link in my bio and see you soon!
