The Portland Yoga Project

The Portland Yoga Project is a yoga and movement studio located in Portland, Maine, situated on the unceded Wabanaki territories. Rooted in the belief that bodies hold wisdom and agency, the studio offers yoga, barre, matte, and more, while honoring the lineages of these practices often overshadowed by Western commercialization. Committed to fostering a safer, more inclusive movement experience, the project celebrates the diversity and imperfections of its community, from students to teachers. It prioritizes justice, equity, and political activism, striving to elevate industry standards through fair compensation for instructors, community engagement, and financial transparency. Free classes, workshops, and events—such as Queer Movement, Trauma Informed Yoga, and Movement for Grief—reflect its dedication to accessibility and collective healing.
