Mindful movement for folks who want to create a dedicated practice
“As we approach the end of the year, we want to thank each and every student for their dedication to their practice. With each breath, we cultivate steadiness from within so we can show up with clarity, compassion, and strength in the world around us…. From all of us at The Practice Space… Thank you!”

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 classes (6 people), and private or semi-private sessions to support every mover’s journey.
As the first studio to offer full-time salaries to yoga and Pilates educators, we’re redefining the relationship between students, teachers, and modern mindful movement. We hope every student who walks through our doors in SE Portland can feel the difference this commitment makes.
We believe in dedicated 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.

Our Offerings
“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.
