Pilates near Happy Valley

“barre3 Happy Valley is great! 5 weeks ago I went to my 1st class. I had a non-existent exercise regimen, I had no experience with any type of barre class, and I didn't know anyone in the class. The owners and staff welcomed me with open arms. Both before and after class, Liz and Tiffany (owners), as well as Antoinette, Maribeth, and Michelle, answered my numerous e-mails full of questions (from membership questions, to 1st class questions, to cleaning regimen questions). Every e-mail I received was kind and non-judgmental. I have attended 5 classes so far (every Wednesday at 6am) and the instructors have been great! I've seen Antoinette and Kiley and they both have been so kind and helpful. The instructors are non-judgmental and encourage modifications. They want you to listen to your body, and if today is a day your body doesn't want to do something, it's okay. There is no shame in doing modifications, which I love! There are so many other things I love about barre3 - the studio (it's so bright, clean, cheerful, fun, and welcoming!), the attendees (all shapes, sizes, ages, backgrounds, etc.), and the playlists for the classes. I also love that the judgment-free zone when it comes to your workout attire - you do you! I highly recommend barre3 Happy Valley and encourage everyone to check it out. The 1st class is free and once you go to 2, you'll be hooked. Thank you barre3 Happy Valley staff for creating such a welcoming, fun, and non-judgmental place. I look forward to continuing my 6am Wednesday classes and hope that eventually I'll even be able to add in more.“

“I’ve been practicing at this studio since 2022 and I’ve absolutely loved it. The buzz around the place and the teachers are incredible. There are a range of classes to pick from and it’s so great to have the option for Pilates as well, especially in a hot room! This studio is essential for my own fitness and wellness goals so I’m grateful it’s around. It’s a 2hr round trip for me so that’ll tell ya how worth it is. :)The client service as well is top notch, the team is flexible and have been supportive of membership pauses and changes as well as being proactive in making sure my needs are taken care of. I can’t say enough!“

“Dorothy is a fabulous Pilates teacher. She pays attention to every detail, whether it's what is ailing her students on any given day or ways that we can use our bodies to get more out of a movement. She corrects precisely but non-judgmentally. She knows her craft and seems to take great pleasure in sharing the benefits of Pilates with others.“

“The studio has a very friendly vibe and it’s absolutely lovely.Morgan, my instructor, is skilled, upbeat and, extremely importantly, kind.She will meet you where you are with no judgment and with enthusiasm - from super beginner (me) to elite athletes.Morgan is helping me to get stronger step by step - I value that a lot!You are safe there and you get results - highly recommended.“

“I went to this studio for 6 months after opening, logged 70 classes, then moved away. When I tell you I have missed this studio experience every day since then I am NOT exaggerating. The environment that they’ve created in there is unlike any other. The app is so easy to use for scheduling your classes and the teachers are incredible!! Please open up a YogaSix near Hillsboro - I wanna be a regular again “

“Jonathan did a great massage. He was very knowledgeable about the relationship between the body, muscles, and fascia. My lower back was feeling tight prior to the massage; but afterwards was feeling a lot more loose. After the appointment, he sent materials over email regarding various exercises I could do to help my back“

“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.“

“This was the first pilates class I've ever taken. Clare was super patient and explained everything thoroughly. The environment is very relaxing as well, everyone is there to learn and get better. I was intimidated to try at first, but Clare made me feel very comfortable. I definitely recommend giving this studio a try!“

“I have been attending classes for a few weeks now and I absolutely love it! I have been dealing with chronic pain for a few years and the classes I have attended have been so therapeutic. I already feel like a new person!“

“The "Yoga for the Inflexible Guy" class has been perfect for me. Danny is patient and runs the sessions without any pretense. This is a yoga inspired class that will help anyone improve their flexibility.Whether you haven't stretched since your last high school gym class, or you currently maintain a daily exercise routine and just need some extra work to improve results, this class can help you.“

“I came to Yoga Riot as a newbie to yoga almost a year ago and I am HOOKED. Everyone is very welcoming and kind. I immediately felt comfortable and part of the community. I couldn't recommend the studio more!“
