The Classroom Experience

When we step into any classroom there is a general expectation that we are working on learning and understanding the topic presented in order to get it right while accumulating facts that we can then claim as something we “know”.

In this style of Power Vinyasa yoga, you enter the classroom, leave the world of conceptual thinking behind and step into understanding through listening and moving. Like learning to play the violin in public, this understanding takes place in the moment, giving way to learning through experience. Over time, the precision of the alignment will make sense to you the more you practice. And the more you practice, the more you will be able to translate the experience of the awareness you have on your mat in to your everyday life.

At Portland Power Yoga, the group experience is primary to the power of the practice. The room itself is free of distraction; just an open bright space to free your mind and elevate your spirit. You can dive deep into the challenge of the movement, experiencing what it means to be immersed in a true physical, psychological, and spiritual yoga practice. At Portland Power Yoga, our teachers are trained to teach and lead groups. When you practice in a group, you gain access to a deeper experience of yourself on your mat. At the same time that you are focusing more directly on yourself, you are being supported by the energy of the students around you. As a result, your yoga experience will be incredibly powerful and remarkably transformative!
