Stop scratching your head. Instead, go through this rundown of some best yoga studios in Portland based on my research as well as feedback from my yogi friends. Let’s get started.”

Pure 8 Hot Yoga
Pure 8 Hot Yoga? Sounds Fancy?
Actually, this name reflects the 8 limbs of Yoga introduced by Patanjali. Driven by this philosophy, PURE 8 ensures space and support for all yogis.
Locally owned and operated, the yoga studio offers various yoga training sessions, including Power Vinyasa, Power Fusion, Heated Balance, and YinRestore. Apart from offering classes at the studio, they also offer online sessions. Pure 8 Hot Yoga has also introduced a training and development program for budding yoga teachers.
Pure 8 Hot Yoga was founded by Ouma Phommaneth, who visited India to learn the Sivananda style of yoga and Patanjali’s 8 Limbs of Yoga after becoming a certified yoga teacher in 2012.

Forge Hot Yoga
Want to learn Bikram Hot Yoga? Or are you planning to get started with Yin Yoga and Inferno Hot Pilates?
Welcome to Forge Hot Yoga! They host a variety of yoga and Pilates in heated spaces to ensure an amazing exercise experience. According to the studio, heat can amplify the impact of yoga on your body. The studio also offers non-heated classes. In addition to their indoor and outdoor yoga classes, they offer online classes.
But I personally like their Original 26 Posture and 2 Breathing yoga which is super effective to help you heal and recover. If you somehow feel boring and tiresome, do join their afrobeat fitness session to pump up for your workout in a fun and engaging way.

Wrapping Up
So these are some best yoga studios in Portland, Oregon.
While all these yoga studios listed here are based on the reviews and experiences of mine and my yogi friends, choose the one that suits your goals and motivation best. Maybe my list doesn’t include “your kind of yoga studio.”
Don’t hesitate to try other yoga studios not mentioned here if you want to explore more options. Make sure to ask if they (yoga studio) provide any trial classes so that you can determine the quality of training over there. Also, check the certification and feedback of a yoga studio.
