Gudmestad Yoga Studio

Almost 10 years as a student in this wonderful place. Great teachers, most of them PT's. The best thing you can do for your body and mind. Iyengar Yoga is taught there, and great attention is paid to each individual capabilities. Athletes, martial artists, hikers, bikers, golfers...everybody will derive benefits from the teachings of the studio. No incense nor deep spiritual endeavor: just plain down to earth goodness.…

Excellent Iyengar Yoga Instruction!. I have studied Iyengar yoga for well over fifteen years, first in the SF Bay Area and now in Portland. Julie Gudmestad's studio offers very detailed instruction on alignment and focuses on the Iyengar principles in a manner that challenges both the mind and body and builds endurance in all areas. I cannot recommend Julie's classes enough. I have also taken classes with Hope, Betsy, Laila and Stuart and enjoyed the classes very much.

If you are interested in Iyengar-style yoga, this is a top-notch studio.…

Excellent studio. My experience at Gudmestad Yoga Studio over the past ten years has been fantastic! I have taken classes with many different teachers there, and they are all excellent and extremely well trained. The classes are divided by ability so people only do poses that they are physically ready to take on which keeps people safe. It is a great studio for beginners because there are non-intimidating classes for those who have little or no prior yoga experience. The classes combine incredible strength and flexibility training. My husband had problems with back and knee pain for years prior to taking classes at Gudmestad. Very shortly after starting, both pains disappeared. He tried stopping the classes due to time issues but the pains both came back. He is now hooked for life! Gudmestad yoga studio offers "athletes" classes for people who are already physicially fit. These classes are an excellent complement to any other type of work-out. I truly believe that the classes offered at Gudmestad can help anyone preserve and even gain function and physical abilities as they grow older. I highly recommend this studio!…
