Pilates near Happy Valley

“I’ve worked out for years with HIIT and strength based training. I sought Barre3 out for a change up in my workout routine. Well I definitely found it! I got my booty handed to me during the first class! My body felt like I used all the stabilization muscles I hadn’t touched in years. All the instructors are great! There are always modifications to moves. It’s a very nonjudgmental, welcoming environment. Five stars all the way!“

“Fantastic, as per usual. Instructor was personable, knowledgeable and very skilled in teaching.“

“I would definitely recommend Dorothy and her classes for anyone who is looking for a great Pilates experience. Dorothy is very knowledgeable and patient during each session. Her attention to detail during each class has helped me improve my Pilates practice. I always walked out of her class feeling great and challenged.“

“The Lake Oswego YogaSix community is truly unmatched. From the knowledgable teachers to the kind staff, my day is certainly not complete without taking some kind of yoga class here. I love the variety of classes offered throughout the day and the studio is consistently clean and well managed. I'm always introducing friends to this specific studio because I truly want everyone to experience the gift that is YogaSix!“

“Small class size and personal attention with varied exercises from class to class. Focus on proper Pilates techniques is always stressed. ?“

“I love Portland Pilates Collective! I highly recommend it. Heidi Jane's is amazing and so patient.“

“I love Begin, especially Emily and Kacie’s class. It’s about alignment and healthy muscle balance and NOT weight loss or purely aesthetic. A holistic way of loving our bodies“

“I have seen Colleen for body work- visceral manipulation and nervous system work- for a handful of sessions. She is the best! Always professional, easy to work with, her space is very clean and welcoming. I highly recommend her- she has a great list of services and is highly skilled in her work.“

“Love working with Dorothy at Springwater Pilates Studio in SE Portland! Great workout! She's experienced, offers modifications & clear explanations of the exercises in our group reformer class. The studio is very clean and easy parking. Highly Recommend!!!“

“Going to Portland Parks & Rec yoga classes for years, I finally spoke up to a yoga instructor about tightness in my hips that has made me wonder "why can't I bend at the hips like other people?"I have never done any "alternative therapy" healing or any healing because I successfully care for myself, am healthy, on no medications and have only seen a doctor once in the last 30 years for an injured knee.Well, the instructor praised Shelly Stephenson as a resource. Wow! What a smart, knowledgeable, good-humored, effective, disciplined and down-to-earth practitioner! That Shelly (in a former life) was an accomplished dancer lends factual credence that she knows the human anatomy, not just from books, coursework and clinical settings, but also from her personal artist-athlete experience.I did 10 structural integration sessions with Shelly, and Shelly did all the work. My body flows like it hasn't flowed since I was a teenager.One day, after a session with Shelly, I noticed that I take short little steps when briskly walking, and realized that was my bodys learned compensation for deficiencies elsewhere and I could now take longer strides with ease. I had never had that perspective before.On the basketball court, for the first time, I could dribble between my legs as the length of my stride was enough to now allow the ball to pass through. That was another recognition that my body has changed, more optimally, its relationship with itself.And yoga? In the mirrors, though I see some poses done well, many more difficult asanas are now accomplished better and I have much more grace of movement and range of motion. I feel good.I am hip.And for you, if Shelly sees that a different approach will be better, she will gladly refer you to someone of quality she knows in the vast world of Portland's healing modalities. She is honest, practical and insightful. I am glad I went to her, the whole experience left quite a positive impression on me.Thank you, Shelly.“

“i love this studio more than i ever thought possible!!! i had walked past it hundreds of times and then one day i decided to go for it and never looked back! since joining, i have had several friends and even my partner join and it’s just such a treat to be a part of this community. thank you forge, i am so grateful!“

“I really enjoy attending Thrive classes. I have tried all of the yoga related classes and the BodyWise movement class. All are phenomenal and offer different experiences. I would have to say Mary's Vinyasa classes really stand out, and she is such a kind instructor. Rachel, the owner and instructor for Foundations and the BodyWise classes is such a fantastic person. She makes the space feel welcoming for everyone, and truly cares about everyone that walks through her doors.I do the monthly membership and it is worth it. I plan being a member for a long-time to come.Thank you everyone at Thrive for making the experience amazing. I am so grateful my yoga journey led me here.“

“Yoga riot is a welcoming, cozy space with a great community of teachers and students! My body always feels great after class and the teachers are sure to remind everyone to make any modifications needed. The space is small so be prepared to sweat close to strangers!“
