MoveYoga is proud to partner with Bendala Yoga Company. Both MoveYoga and Bendala value creating access to yoga for kids. Through our partnership, we’reable to create scholarships for kids who would like to take Move Yoga classes, but need financial support.
Bendala’s mission is to create greater access to yoga, funded by consumer purchases from our collection of artfully crafted yoga gear. Together with our partners, we fund affordable yoga classes.
Bendala believes that the cycle of creating, selling and buying can be infused with meaning. When you purchase yoga-inspired goods for your home, office or work space or as a gift for a friend, Bendala’s Yoga Lifestyle Collection gives you the opportunity to live consciously and give back to your community at the same time.
Move Yoga is excited for the opportunities that this partnership creates! Please visit Bendala’s shop here – www.bendalayoga.com Get great yoga lifestyle gear and 10% of your purchase helps Move Yoga create yoga scholarships!
New Happy New Year, welcom
e to 2012! The beginning of the year always seems to burst with expectation — a fresh slate, newness, change — yet so often that fresh anticipation for the year ahead loses its luster around January 28th, and we fall into the same ruts that we had hoped to change. So, MoveYoga has chosen to hold off wishing you a Happy New Year until just about the time when the “freshness” of a new year begins to show its blemishes, and old patterns return. (It also could be that we suffer from “blogging procrastination”, but we’ll let you be the judge of that!)
Whichever the case, what if you resolved to shift your perspective this year? Rather than clinging to the expectations of change, pursue a shift in perspective. Maybe bring more creativity to your pursuits, even if it’s the mundane task of dishwashing or brushing teeth. Adopt a practice — acceptance perhaps — even if it means smiling when the driver next to you chooses that particular moment to explode in rage! Simple shifts in perspective carry long term, real change. Here at MoveYoga, we’re expanding, exploring and shifting! Check out some of the new classes and workshops we’re offering. We’re looking forward to keepin’ it fresh … all year long!
It’s YogArt time! That’s right, some yoga and some art all wrapped up into one marvelous workshop! MoveYoga and Hedgehog Hiker (http://hedgehoghiker.com) are teaming up to bring the kids of Portland a creative, dynamic and inspiring 3 hours of fun!

The leaves are falling and the days of summer are long gone! As the days grow shorter and cooler, and we all settle into a winter rhythm — perhaps more scheduled and demanding than the ‘lazy daze’ of summer — remember to bring a little natural warmth and light into each day by doing something you enjoy. Exercise, laughter, puddle splashing, 
breath work, cooking, reading, dancing, catching a quick dose of Vitamin D between rain showers, creating art, spending time with friends, listening to music, playing music, singing … and million more options abound … whatever brings you warmth and light, carve out the time in your Fall schedule to make it happen! MoveYoga is zipping around to different schools all over Portland, bringing yoga to kids of all ages. Check out our Fall schedule, and if you’d like to bring a kids yoga class to your community, please let us know … we’d love to meet you!
The sun is finally out, and MoveYoga is lovin’ every minute of it!! we’ve had a b-u-s-y summer … lots of sun salutations in every corner of Portland. Camps galor
e with lots of smiling faces, young and old, enjoying all that yoga has to offer underneath the warmth of the sun. Check out just a few of our games, crafts, activities and poses we’ve offered this summer. And … stay tuned … our Fall schedule should be out soon!
Spring into Spring with us! The days are getting longer, the flowers are peeking out with delicate color, the birds and squirrels busy again after a long and dar
k season, the leaves are slowly beginning to color their branches green, and here at MoveYoga we’re bouncing into new Spring Classes, and can’t wait to have you join us! Check out our Schedule of classes and give one a try!
Our Fall Kids Yoga Classes have begun! Check our schedule to find a class and register … or better yet, start a class at your school. Contact u
