The purpose of yoga is to build strength and achieve harmony in the body, mind, and spirit. Yoga helps employees awaken to their greatest potential as they replace familiar routines with deeper self-awareness. The techniques incorporated in yoga can increase mental clarity and focus, reduce chronic pain, lower blood pressure, and increase flexibility. Our classes include mixed-level instruction appropriate for everyone from beginners to seasoned practitioners.
Virtual classes are available anywhere live or on-demand. On-site classes are available in the Portland Metro area.
