The yoga space itself is quite large and the teachers come up with interesting, challenging, and most importantly --FUN, sequences (with varying options to target different levels of practice). It's not just basic, ho-hum, poses. Both Alanna and Elizabeth are exceptional teachers, and I highly recommend their classes. I also appreciate that the teachers incorporate music into their practices (I have been to hot yoga and some regular vinyasa classes that utilize NO music at all and it really detracts from the overall experience). Ommmmm. Two enthusiastic thumbs up!

Each instructor has been unique and different, so you can find something you like. The facilities are clean too. Everyone is so nice and easy to talk to. They also host cool events like the summer sunset series at Bug Light. The sun was actually setting as class ended and it was so serene and beautiful. All around a fantastic yoga studio for all levels.

I was staying at The Press Hotel, about a 7-10 minute scenic stroll from here and decided to do a drop-in class at noon on a Thursday with Heather. The room is extremely inviting and comfy, with a perfect temperature (I dislike extremely warm rooms) and just enough natural light. Mats face each other, which I'm not used to, but it's definitely the way to optimize the long narrow space. Heather's class was playful, at times a bit more intense, but I'd say this is an all levels class, verging more on the gentle side. What I liked most about it was the departure from "typical" sun salutations. I get the idea that you can expect something a little different from class to class. Heather is an excellent instructor, kind and patient. If I lived in the area, I definitely would be a regular in her class. I'm already looking forward to my next trip to Portland so that I may return to this sweet spot!

Moving from Texas, I have been on the search for a new yoga studio to call my home. Lila East End…read moreis a small studio where the mats face each other, you WILL be squeezed next to other people. In the middle, is a narrow path way for the instructor to pass through and to demonstrate. This is not your customary practice, but hey it's a new place so why not try something new? Came in to an "All Levels Yoga" with Chelsea. Chelsea, is an incredibly beautiful person inside and out. It's hard not to be mesmerized by her! However... this definitely felt more like a Beginners class. It is great if you're just starting or you've been out of practice for awhile. Chelsea has all the best intentions, but I tend to get lost (not mesmerized) by her verbiage. In yoga, a flow should be easy to follow just by closing your eyes and listening to what the instructor is saying. You follow through continuously, and that's what creates "The Flow". I've practiced for 9 years now, but for some odd reason, I WAS LOST. My feet were everywhere thinking this position was something new, when in reality, I'VE DONE WARRIOR POSES HUNDREDS OF TIMES. WHY COULDN'T SHE JUST SAY THAT. She ended class with everyone in Savasana... and proceeded to sing. I was definitely thrown off by that, but was strangely comforted by her soothing "Mom Voice" at the same time, And so, the search continues.

It's a great community here, very well known, the type of business to sponsor a local sports team not out of a potential form of advertising, but with a love for the community. When you walk in on your first day, they're very welcoming and open hearted, and also the deeper you dive into the community, the better it gets. I've realistically had one of the more unique experiences at Centerpoint being older then most, but the thing is, no matter who you are, they'll always treat you the same. This also goes for any accommodations. About some of classes (And what happens there): (Ages may vary) Ages 5 and under - Excellent kids: This class teaches kids to be their best self, and helps them be quite healthy and even such a young age Ages 5-16 - Kids karate: This is definitely one of the more popular programs, while at first only teaching the fundamentals of Karate, classes get more difficult and a slow and do-able rate. Teaches kids good morals and keeps them fit. Requirements may vary - Sparring: Teaches students (who have a bit of experience), how to fight in some more realistic scenario. This is done with pads on to insure that people don't get hurt, and is good if you're trying to break a sweat. (For info on other classes, check their website, they probably have much better descriptions then I do) Overall, I've been going here since December 2018, and I'd totally recommend it if you're looking for not just somewhere to workout, but somewhere to learn and enjoy yourself.

Since then, I hadn't taken any classes until a friend told me about Centerpoint. In the classes that I have taken in the past, it has always been kickboxing in the air. However, at Centerpoint, they have stationary punching bags to punch and kick, which added a unique, but tough experience. The space is nicely laid out with cubbies to keep your stuff in, and then a padded floor area to do the kickboxing. The instructor made it a point to introduce herself to me, and she was a phenomenal instructor. If you get the chance to take a class with Esther, I would strongly suggest it, as she was supportive, but also kept the class challenging and fun. Throughout class, there was plenty of opportunity for cardio with a warm-up, a punching rotation, a kicking rotation, a section for upper body and abs, and then a cool down. The 45 minute class went by quickly, but boy, did I sweat! At Centerpoint, your first class is free, so it's definitely worth giving it a shot. After that, they have unlimited monthly memberships for $150 a month, or you can by 10 classes for $100. Their drop-in fee is $17. I definitely plan on coming here more to mix up my workout routine!
