Unfold Portand
If you’re recovering from an injury or dealing with chronic pain, Unfold Portland is an unconditionally welcoming community, where you can restore your body at a slow pace. The yoga classes tend to be very slow and therapeutic. This studio is also dedicated to teaching “big yoga” – so you’ll find mindfulness classes, meditation workshops, and movement therapy classes. Be sure to check out Yoga Nidra with Ashley Dahl.
These days, a yoga studio is so much more than a yoga studio. Yoga studios are places where you can not only explore and expand your yoga practice, but also dive into other supportive wellness practices such as breathwork, shamanic ceremonies, and sound journeying.
