Yoga Roots

I took a class from Katie and Charlene and loved them both! Manzanita has such a treasure having these two guide the community’s yoga practice. I live in Portland where yoga studios are plentiful. If Katie and Charlene taught yoga here I would take their classes over and over. I will be back! Thanks gals!

This studio had just opened when I visited in August. I took three classes while I was there, including classes from both owners. They are compassionate, knowledgeable, and seem to be very well-​trained. I felt fantastic after each class. I took my first Kundalini class from Katie and it was amazing! I definitely recommend trying Kundalini. I plan to go back every time I’m in Manzanita. Side benefit: post-​yoga yummies from Left Coast Burrito downstairs! If you are reading this review, don’t hesitate, check current schedule on the sandwich board on Laneda Ave in front of Left Coast, and head on up!

Happy toes!!! Every time I leave Yoga Roots, a serene pale green room located above a natural foods store, I feel elevated and recharged. Co-​owners and teachers Charlene and Katie are strong, flexible, beautiful, and wise. Every atom of the studio seems to manifest their loving intention.
Get a copy of their current schedule from their front door. Flow, Vinyasa, and Power Vinyasa classes are probably the more intense classes, and Yin, Kundalini, and Hatha are slower-​paced. Both men and women seem comfortable coming here, with one class especially for men.
Classes range from $ 8-​$ 12. Free use of mats, props and water.
I’m really happy to see this lovely place open up.
