This is a beautiful, serene studio run by master-level teachers. I have worked with Joseph and Candace for years and learned from them many ways to keep my back healthy (I have scoliosis) and my body supple and strong enough to hike all the mountains I choose. Just recently climbed Mt. Washington (6,288') again in the Whites of NH at age 63. Both teachers have been great at adapting the class work to my needs when I've been injured from other sports. I've also learned a great deal about the human body from working with these yoga gurus! I leave their classes a calmer, looser, kinder person than when I arrived.
Joseph Satlak is an awesome life force. Portland is extremely lucky to have an instructor of his serious caliber. When I described my practice at Still Water to another yoga instructor, she said, "Oh, you're taking private lessons." I said no it was a group class and that's just how instructive and personal the class is. If you're looking to transform, go to Still Water Yoga, Portland's Iyengar specialists.
Joseph and Candace bring to their teaching an amazing blend of
knowledge, personal/spiritual maturity and quiet generosity which is rare in any situation. I have been a student of yoga for over 20 years, and a teacher for over 10. I am continually inspired and humbled by the way they selflessly share what they know.
They embody the teaching beautifully-so to practice and learn with them is to be in the presence of Yoga in action.
Still Water is a place to really learn about Yoga--without the bells and whistles many studios have created to attract students.
They are first and foremost dedicated to the pursuit of clarity--with gentleness and resolve, both.
The quality of their attention and the clarity of their perception is a gift to any student of yoga--from the total beginner to longtime practitioner.
This is not today's typical yoga class--it is something much more interesting and much more connected to yoga as I understand it. I have been practicing yoga for 20 years, and I have come across many teachers. Joseph and Candace stand out for their deep understanding of the various elements of yoga, their dedication to its careful practice and their devotion to their students' well-being. The classes foster community (there is almost no student turnover!) and build on each other as students learn to direct their attention inward at every turn. The results gradually emerge as more peaceful body alignment and a happier state of being. I leave classes feeling seen, supported, educated and renewed. Stillwater is an amazing discovery for students in this area looking for serious but supportive yoga teachers. I hope to see you in class.
