Studio in Details
A Mobile Yoga Studio That Comes to You
Yoga to You PDX operates differently from most yoga studios in Portland. Instead of maintaining a fixed location, this mobile yoga studio brings the entire experience directly to clients. The business has been operating for ten years, positioning itself as the premiere mobile yoga and movement provider in the Pacific Northwest region. People describe the core concept as bringing the studio to you—the instructors arrive with all necessary props and equipment, eliminating the logistical hurdles of traveling to a traditional yoga space. This model creates yoga classes in unconventional settings, transforming workplaces, homes, vacation rentals like Airbnb and VRBO, parks, wineries, and convention centers into temporary yoga shalas. The service is designed for ease and accessibility, catering to those who prefer the convenience of practicing in familiar or chosen environments.
The studio’s approach is inherently flexible, adapting to the needs of different groups and occasions. For individuals, this might mean private in-home yoga sessions where an instructor tailors the practice to one person’s living room. For businesses, it translates to corporate yoga classes held at offices or during offsite events, aiming to provide stress relief and community building for teams. The mobile nature also allows for outdoor yoga sessions in Portland’s parks or at scenic wineries, blending movement with natural surroundings. Visitors do not mention a permanent studio space with standard amenities like showers or lockers; the focus is entirely on the portable, service-oriented model where the teacher and props travel to the client.
Teaching Styles and Instructor Expertise
The team at Yoga to You PDX comprises several instructors with diverse backgrounds and specializations, allowing the studio to offer a variety of yoga styles. Based on instructor bios, people can find classes in Vinyasa Yoga, including both dynamic flows and slower, more mindful variations. Hatha Yoga is also part of the curriculum, providing a foundation in posture and alignment. For those seeking deep relaxation, instructors offer Restorative Yoga and Yin Yoga, practices focused on long holds and supported poses to release tension. Some teachers incorporate meditation and pranayama (breathwork) into their sessions, emphasizing the mental and respiratory aspects of the practice. The studio’s blog references major lineages like Iyengar and Ashtanga, indicating an awareness of these traditions, though visitors do not explicitly mention regular classes in Iyengar Yoga or Ashtanga Yoga as standard offerings.
Instructors bring significant credentials and personal philosophies to their teaching. Stephanie Bolson is an E-RYT 500 with experience in Bikram, Kundalini, and Vinyasa, and she now focuses on practices that foster self-compassion and healing. Galen Torrey Fairbanks emphasizes accessibility, having taught students with disabilities and trauma survivors, and uses a trauma-informed approach. Lauren Bielenberg, an ERYT-200hr teacher and NASM Certified Personal Trainer, incorporates a Health At Every Size (HAES) philosophy and focuses on body attunement. Prue Kadi, certified in Hatha/Vinyasa, balances gentle practices with more powerful postures. This diversity means sessions can be tailored for various goals, whether for stress relief, mindfulness, gentle movement, or building strength and flexibility. The studio appears beginner-friendly, with website content highlighting beginner friendly classes and expert instruction provided.
Beyond Regular Classes: Training and Immersive Experiences
Yoga to You PDX extends its services beyond drop-in or booked sessions into educational and retreat formats. The business operates the Mobile Yoga Academy, which offers teacher training (TTC) programs. A detailed blog post outlines the studio’s philosophy on teacher education, critiquing the modern multi-instructor “faculty model” and advocating for a more traditional, lineage-based approach with a single lead teacher. The founder, Lauren Fields, describes an upcoming 200-hour training in March 2026 that will be small, intimate, and held in a personal home studio, emphasizing clarity and direct transmission of knowledge. The program is Yoga Alliance registered, allowing graduates to become RYTs, which is noted as important for career pathways, especially in therapeutic or healthcare settings.
The studio also organizes retreats that provide immersive wellness experiences outside the daily mobile class structure. One highlighted retreat, “MOVE. PADDLE. FLOW.,” takes place at Benson Lake in Washington. It features a blend of activities including Sup Yoga (stand-up paddleboard yoga), gentle flows, sunset restorative and yin sessions, guided breathwork, meditation, and community activities. These retreats are designed to be restorative and rejuvenating, set in tranquil natural environments, and they offer Continuing Education Units (CEUs) for Yoga Alliance members. This combination of mobile daily classes, structured teacher training, and periodic retreats creates a holistic ecosystem for both students and aspiring teachers in the Portland area and throughout the Pacific Northwest.
