We’ll let our communities words speak for themselves

  • "It’s transformed me. Yoga clears my spirit. It’s tough to do. And never seems to get “easy” when I’m doing the inner work.

    But it has slowly opened me up, deepened my ability to be present in my breath, and in my capacity to listen to others with greater clarity. All that spiritual stretching then gets carried into my home and places of work. I enjoy exercising physically too, but stretching my spirit, clearing internal blockages, coming closer to the Light flowing through me, etc., will make me more effective in going BIG for life on Earth via my job.”

  • “The Practice Space ROCKS! I’m so lucky to have found it.

    I went there as part of the recovery process after having had major surgery. My instructor, Savannah Wonderwheel, has simply improved the quality of my life beyond my highest expectations.”

  • “My favorite studio! Beautiful space and instructors. Meghan is my go-to for classes.

    She is committed to the practice and sharing her knowledge and years of experience through regularly scheduled classes, workshops, and her outside retreats. I just did the solstice 108 sun salutations, and it was amazing. A truly exceptional experience.”

  • “Krista possesses a special understanding of the functional workings of our anatomy, and a unique ability to interpret this knowledge in her classes.

    She is the best teacher I have ever come across, and I have benefited greatly from her skills and knowledge. As an athlete, I sign up for every anatomy class she teaches, simply because I know I will leave with deeply useful insights into how I use my body every day.”

  • “I’ve been to a lot of different yoga studios in both the Seattle and the Portland area and The Practice Space is by far the friendliest, creative and intelligent yoga studio.

    I’ve been going here for the last couple of years (on a semi regular basis) and I love the variety of classes they have. I’m a huge fan of vinyasa and they have a lot of different class times to choose from, their prices are very reasonable (especially for students, like me!) and the teachers are happy to answer any questions you might have about trying new poses.

    I also love their space!”

  • “To me, the core component in a successful Pilates practice is meaningful teaching. To a person, the teachers at The Practice Space are knowledgeable and enthusiastic.

    Each has a slightly different emphasis in her teaching, and this variety of viewpoints is very helpful in learning and appreciating different Pilates concepts. While there are slightly different perspectives on teaching, all of The Practice Spaces’s teachers share the attitude that classes should be fun and students should be supported regardless of skill level. I believe that excellent teaching is the reason that I always feel better after class than before.”

    I feel everyone at The Practice Space cares about the students and all do a beautiful job checking in about individual needs and preferences, which enhances the experience. I feel stronger and healthier with each class I attend.”

  • “Working on the CoreAlign machines has transformed my yoga practice. The equipment is the yoga prop you didn’t know you needed. It makes poses I’ve done hundreds of times completely different, allowing me to refine the postures.

    I have been able to turn on muscles that have become lazy while others have been over working. I can take this to the mat and keep this new perspective. I recommend this to any yogi to dive deeper into your physical practice.”

  • Trust Yourself.

    Teachers are here to provide a class full of suggestions and recommendations. But some of those suggestions may not feel right for you that day. Never hesitate to take a rest when you need a rest. At The Practice Space we prioritize student agency. You know your body better than anyone else and this is the best environment to put that knowledge into practice.

  • All-level classes welcome everyone, offering an inclusive space to explore movement with a deeply personal connection fostered by the teacher’s approach. These classes are designed to be adaptable, with modifications and progressions to meet the needs of every participant, from beginners to advanced practitioners. The focus is on connecting with your body, improving mobility, and experiencing mindful movement in a supportive and encouraging environment. Content is thoughtfully chosen to resonate with everyone, whether you’re a skilled dancer, a computer programmer, or somewhere in between, ensuring the material supports the unique needs of being human.

  • Foundational classes at Level 1 are not necessarily easy—they are the cornerstone of mindful movement practices. These classes focus on repetition and refinement, drawing from Yoga, Pilates, and CoreAlign traditions to cultivate a strong foundation. Rather than aiming for a specific workout goal, Level 1 classes at The Practice Space emphasize the process of executing the practice with intention and precision. You'll develop body awareness, proper alignment, core engagement, and breath control. Movements and poses are thoughtfully designed to help you gain confidence, improve mobility, and create sustainable movement patterns that support long-term growth.

  • Level 2 classes are for those with a solid foundation and a readiness to grow their practice. In all methods of mindful movement, small adjustments and progressions can transform simple actions into deeply challenging and rewarding experiences. These classes build on foundational skills by introducing more complex movement patterns, flows, and exercises that demand increased balance, coordination, and strength. With moderate resistance, dynamic transitions, and a focus on greater range of motion, you’ll not only refine your technique but also expand your physical and mental resilience, taking your practice to the next level.

  • The defining word for Level 3 is agency. At The Practice Space, the foundation built in earlier levels is designed to cultivate a deep familiarity with your body, empowering you to make informed decisions about your practice in every class. Level 3 challenges that sense of agency, encouraging you to trust your intuition as you navigate advanced movements, sequences, and rhythms in Yoga, Pilates, and CoreAlign. These classes push you to refine techniques while uncovering new layers of understanding and self-awareness. At this level, mastery isn’t about perfection but about embracing the feedback loop of learning—returning to the basics when needed, exploring foundational principles with curiosity, and growing through challenges. Evolve is about continuous learning, discovery, and embracing the ongoing journey of mindful movement.

  • Align + Refine Yoga

    The focus of this class is the physical form of asana (postures). The class begins with pranayama (breathing) and a gentle warm-up. The heart of the class workshops common yoga postures with supportive exercises and prop support. You will strengthen and mobilize muscles and joints required to be successful in the traditional asana shapes. The teacher will provide detailed instructions for each posture as well as individual feedback and tactile adjustments. This is a great class for those looking to refine their yoga skill and who is curious about the physical inner workings of each shape.

  • Balance

    Our balance class is focused around standing balance and support. Most classes start by waking up the feet and proprioception (our ability to know where we are in space) with rolling out and spinal mobility. Rewriting the old story that balance is stillness, this class will get you off center so you can learn how to get back on.

  • B-Squared

    This Pilates class focuses on two main areas, butts, and bellies. The name may be a bit cheeky (no pun intended), but this class is about getting those two regions turned on and fired up! With so many of us with chronically tight hips and frustratingly achy low backs, those glutes and the abdominals can play imperative roles in combating daily postural aches and pains. These two power players need some extra attention. And after a few classes, you will definitely start to feel the difference!

  • Habit

    This Pilates class is all about building sustainable and resilient physical habits. This class focuses on the more traditional Pilates movements with an emphasis on intrinsic stabilizers and coordinating movement patterns. Habit could also stand for “human-anatomical-baseline-integration-technique” Sound geeky? Because it is! Our Habit classes are all about technique. These classes teach the Pilates method’s most authentic principles integrating the movement into your daily actions and bringing that technical approach to life. This class emphasizes spinal health, abdominal support, and hip and shoulder organization. We encourage you to recognize your body’s baseline and integrate the movement challenges from class into your daily life outside the studio.

  • Neural Roll Out

    Not your typical Pilates mat class, Roll-Out is a great compliment to any exercise or movement practice. It is 60 minutes of self-massage to give your body the time it takes for myofascial and muscular release with props on the floor, on a mat, or against the wall. While you may not rid your body of its tensions in one hour, you will be given tools and tricks for continued self-care in your day-to-day life.

  • Pilates Flow

    Pilates Flow takes the Pilates repertoire and ties it together, one exercise at a time. In this class, you will progress through five sequences. Each sequence highlights a specific movement goal, including whole-body warm-up, flexion, extension, legs and arms, and balance. The sequences are taught progressively, adding one movement at a time, making it excellent to challenge the coordination of the body AND the acuity of the mind.

  • Reboot

    This Pilates class is ideal for students recovering from injury, relearning new postural habits, or simply wanting to work with specific areas needing extra attention. The class emphasizes simple stabilizing movements that enhance awareness of the deep core, pelvic floor, and spinal organization. Sometimes you just need to reboot and restart when the system goes awry. This class will help you relearn new habits, learn tips and tricks to manage acute or chronic injuries, and prepare the body for future situations that may arise.

  • Trade-Off

    This class takes biomechanic accuracy of the pilates repertoire to task by increasing the speed, changing the resistance, reducing the base of support, or increasing coordination. It begins with the basics and critical alignment preparation, then moves to bigger coordination and jump boards. Don’t trade off your alignment for the challenge. Explore what challenge point you can achieve.

  • Yin Yoga

    Yin Yoga is an all-level practice. It applies healthy stress and stretches your joints and connective tissue (tendons, ligaments, and fascia), focusing on the lower back, pelvis, and hips. Although not a complicated physical practice, it can be quite challenging due to the long duration of the poses. For those with an established asana practice, yin postures provide space to uncover subtle patterns of holding or clenching and then decide if they are helpful or necessary. Insights into these patterns can lead to greater freedom and flexibility in your physical practice and in your life.

    Bedtime Yin is our special virtual offering that provides you the chance to unwind in the privacy of your own home.
