If you’ve ever rolled out a mat in a sunlit studio, felt the power of community in shared breath, or found yourself transformed through yoga in Portland—this one’s for you.

“Namaste PDX: The Portland Yoga Studio Hop” is more than just another episode of The American Dream TV—it’s my heartfelt tribute to the people and places that make Portland’s yoga scene so vibrant, soulful, and uniquely ours.

In this very special episode, I had the joy of bringing my beloved pup True along for the ride—literally! Thanks to Cycle Portland, we zipped through Portland by e-bike, visiting some of the most cherished yoga studios in town.

We moved.
We laughed.
We breathed together.
We even got airborne—yes, I tried aerial yoga for the first time!

Each space we visited held a story, a pulse, a presence that made me feel right at home. It was a reminder that yoga is not just something we do. It’s a way we live—and a way we connect.

I’m beyond grateful to the amazing studios who welcomed us with open arms and open hearts. If you’re seeking a place to deepen your practice or find your community, these three are Portland gems:

‍‍ The People’s Yoga – Affordable, inclusive, and rooted in equity and community.
‍‍ NOW Yoga PDX – Powerful, present, and passionately led by dedicated teachers.
‍‍ Seeking Space Yoga – A sanctuary for inner exploration and aerial adventure.

This project came to life with the help of some very special souls:

THANK YOU for helping me share this story with heart, humor, and honesty.

We’d love to hear how yoga has shaped your life, too.

Is there a Portland yoga studio or teacher that holds a piece of your heart? Let’s give them a shoutout in the comments and celebrate the vibrant yoga family we’re lucky to be part of here in the PNW.

As a Portland yoga teacher, real estate professional, and longtime community member, I know how much space—both physical and spiritual—matters. Whether it’s your mat or your home, finding the right fit changes everything.

Namaste, Portland. Thank you for holding me.
Let’s keep breathing, moving, and growing—together.
