This is a judgment free zone—nothing to prove or perform, just practicing. This is a safe space with kindness, encouragement, connection and support. These things are what we value in yoga and in life. This is a healing environment that is free from body negativity, perfectionism, and competition. We laugh, cry, wobble and thrive in our imperfection together. Each class may involve lying and/or sitting down on the floor, standing, using props for support (this includes chairs, blocks, blankets, bolsters, etc.), using the wall and moving at one's own pace. All poses can be modified for the individual.

Read the detailed descriptions on our CLASSES page to help determine which one feels aligned with your body today and perhaps sparks curiosity for growth. You can join in person, in the Portland, Oregon area, livestream using Zoom or on your own time from the on-demand library.

The primary difference is that Moderate Flow is for experienced yoga practitioners who know which asana variations, planes of gravity and ranges of motion feel best in their bodies with limited cueing and demonstration. Additionally Moderate Flow is more of an energizing flow that can feel more physically challenging (i.e. sun salutations). Gentle Flow includes more detailed cueing, demonstration and more grounded, easeful yoga asana poses.

Unfortunately no, not for in-person classes. Curating a safe, community space for students is a vital part of this practice and we’ve found it most beneficial and rewarding to have one group together, practicing collective care and learning, growing and exploring together, in person, for the entire series.

As body advocates, it our belief that weight is just our bodies relationship to gravity. It is relative and shouldn't define someone's health or how someone feels about their body. Therefore, we have no weight requirement for this class and welcome anyone who is looking for a safe and body positive, fat liberation community.

Come to class dressed in whatever makes you feel the most comfortable. Clothing that has more stretch to allow your body to expand without restriction or discomfort might feel the most accessible—it doesn’t have to be what the fashion industry labels “yoga clothes”.

YBB is a trauma informed class which means that hands on assists are only provided if the student verbally requests and confirms consent. The majority of assistance can be easily achieved through verbal and visual cues or demonstration. Please let Bethany know whether or not you would like to be touched.
