with Matt Mirshafiee
At The Practice Space, we know every class has something unique, and sometimes, the ones that deserve more love just need a little spotlight. That’s where YOU come in! Through our Student-Nominated Featured Class Program, one class is selected to shine every month. Matt’s morning Vinyasa was nominated by our students and this is what they had to say.
"Matt’s vinyasa classes are a fun, energizing way to start the day... well-paced, challenging, and uplifting. His positive energy is infectious, and I always leave feeling refreshed and in a great mood."

Mindful Movement. Modern Approach. Rooted Tradition.
We are more than a yoga and Pilates studio; we are a community dedicated to education, agency, and practice as a form of social change. Offering over 100 classes per week, we provide mat classes (up to 30 people), small group equipment sessions (6 people), and private training to support every mover’s journey.
As the first studio to pay full-time salaries to yoga and Pilates educators, we are redefining the relationship between students, teachers, and modern mindful movement. Our six core values—clarity, recognition, education, friendship, resilience, and bravery—guide everything we do.
We believe in daily practice as a commitment to self and community. While we honor and uphold the traditions of yoga and Pilates, we also empower students and teachers to find agency in their movement and embrace a formal, undiluted approach to learning.
Come move with us! Where tradition, education, and social impact meet.

Pilates Classes
Pilates mat classes focus on core strength, flexibility, and full-body coordination using breath-centered exercises. Rooted in precision, control, and flow, our mat classes range from rehabilitative-focused sessions to advanced athletic flows, ensuring all students can refine and strengthen their practice in a supportive environment.
Reformer Pilates uses spring-based resistance to build strength, balance, and flexibility in a dynamic, full-body workout. With small group classes limited to six students, our expert instructors guide you through movements designed to enhance control, alignment, and efficiency, making Reformer an excellent practice for all levels.

CoreAlign Classes
Developed by physical therapist Jonathan Hoffman, CoreAlign® is a revolutionary movement system designed to improve gait, posture, and functional movement through dynamic exercises that integrate sliding carts, resistance bands, and a vertical frame.
We’re proud to be the only studio in the Pacific Northwest offering both small-group CoreAlign® classes and dedicated private training. Whether you're recovering from injury, looking to move with more efficiency, or wanting to deepen your practice, CoreAlign® builds strength, enhances balance, and restores natural movement patterns.
New to CoreAlign?
Think of it as the perfect meeting point between Pilates and yoga—a unifying apparatus that brings the best of both disciplines into one powerful experience. It’s where control meets flow, and where form meets function. -

Pilates Private Sessions
Pilates private sessions provide one-on-one instruction tailored to your body’s needs, whether you're seeking to enhance your strength, refine technique, or recover from injury. Our rehabilitation-focused sessions are designed for post-injury recovery and long-term movement health, using Pilates principles to restore function, mobility, and stability with expert guidance.
“With your patient guidance and always good humor, at this point in time I am mostly pain free
and feel like I have made good progress toward my additional goals of becoming stronger and more graceful, and improving posture and balance. It is almost miraculous. When I started studying Pilates and CoreAlign with you, I was in daily pain and was nearly convinced that a spine surgery was my only remaining option to deal with it, and that option did not look very encouraging. I was scared, frankly. I can say with complete honesty that every time I visit the studio, I depart feeling better and lighter on my feet than when I arrived. I am deeply grateful. You are doing incredible work and I look forward to continuing the exploration with all of you.”

The Practice Space School
Our school is intentionally structured in tiers that build upon one another, allowing you to deepen your practice at your own pace—whether you're exploring for personal growth or preparing to become a teacher.
A Revolutionary & Grounded Approach
We believe that studying mindful movement is about more than just certification; it’s about understanding yourself, your practice, and the impact of teaching through a deeper lens. Our school is led by two career educators who bring a wealth of expertise to both practitioners and future teachers.
Meghan Maris, M.A. in Yogic Studies – Guides students into deeper practice and teaching through a social and ethical lens, ensuring that teaching remains grounded, inclusive, and transformative.
Krista Lennartz, M.A. in Pedagogy & Motor Control – Brings a unique focus on personal agency in movement, helping students gain a deeper understanding of their own bodies while introducing future teachers to the science and art of pedagogy in mindful movement.
Together, they elevate teacher training beyond the traditional model, ensuring that whether you are here to deepen your practice or step into the role of teacher, you gain the knowledge, skills, and confidence to thrive.
Gain a deep study without the requirement to become a teacher.
