Vinyasa
Breath-led movement — one posture per breath, strong but never rushed. We move less than most studios and mean it more.
A slow yoga studio · Alder Street, Portland
Practice being
unhurried.
Slow-flow vinyasa, yin, restorative and breathwork in a sun-worn room above the street. No mirrors, no metrics, no leaderboard — fourteen mats and the long light of late afternoon.

Yin
Long, quiet holds close to the floor, three to five minutes at a time. Time for the tissue to release — and the thoughts to follow.
Restorative
Bolsters, blankets, and almost nothing to do. The quiet art of being completely supported.
Breathwork
Twenty guided minutes that settle the nervous system like a long exhale. Seated — no mat required.
The garden room, half past four on a Tuesday.
02 — The room
Morning light,
kept all day.
Twelve feet of west-facing windows, cork underfoot, and more plants than chairs. We open the windows between sessions, whatever the weather — and we cap every class at fourteen mats so the room keeps its hush.
- Twenty-one plants and one very slow studio cat, Fig.
- The west light arrives around four — that's the good hour.
- Fourteen mats per class. Never more, at any price.
03 — The teachers
They slowed down —
and stayed.

04 — This week at Stillpoint
Fourteen mats, never more.
open a class to see the room — take a seat if there's one left
Times shift with the seasons — this pattern holds until late March. Looking for something else? Write to us; we open classes by demand.
05 — An easy way in
Your first class
is on the house.
The gentlest possible start: one full class, any style, on us — plus tea after, if you're not in a hurry to leave. Tell us a little about your week and we'll match you with a time and a teacher.
- Mats, blocks, bolsters and tea are ours — bring only soft clothes.
- Arrive ten minutes early; doors close when class begins.
- Tell your teacher what's sore. Every posture has a gentler cousin.
No contracts, no streaks, no leaderboard. We promise.
