I attended Eugene's class on June 14 and 21 during a recent trip back to Portland to see friends and family. I lived in NW, just around the corner, for over 20 years and I have very fond memories of this space as it used to be a pilates studio run by a dear friend. I very much enjoyed both experiences with Eugene and I look forward to being a regular drop in devotee during my semi-annual visits.
Update - I dropped in for classes during my last two trips (January and last week) and was lucky that Eugene was there for both. What a treat! I'm still pondering the lessons from our anatomy study.
I have been going to this studio since it began two owners ago and I love the space. But Laela has transformed it into a truly wonderful place. I am personally deeply grateful to her for nurturing the studio through the pandemic and revitalizing it into a vibrant heart of yoga-centered community. She has brought in a terrific range of teachers, diverse in teaching and experience, and Laela herself is an amazing and inspiring teacher.
I reserved spaces ahead of time for my partner and I to participate in a breathwork class with Natasha on a Sunday afternoon, but we had to cancel under tough circumstances. It took a while to get a response from the studio, but when we finally did, our payment was refunded and future credits were offered. I appreciate their team still making efforts to reach out and rectify the situation, especially given the sensitivity of the issue on our end. Hoping to experience the same positivity as others when we do make it in!
