Practice here, and your current and future selves with thank you. I've been going here for a year and a half and it was one of the best decisions I've made. I've been doing yoga for almost 2 decades, but the real healing and growth (physical, mental, emotional) is finally coming together thanks to this studio and the self paced journey it provides. I'm now present in my body in ways I did not know was possible. Casey is very supportive and genuinely cares about each of his students. I feel at home here. It's not like a typical studio where everyone does the same thing at the same time following the teachers instruction. It is self paced yet you always have support and guidance when needed. This style of yoga actually teaches you how to be present, aware, and trust in your own mind, heart, and body (while also feeling deeply connected to something much larger than yourself).

Wonderful experience visiting. Casey is a gentle soul w a serious understanding of the practice and how to hold space. He provides the right balance of instruction and silence. Will visit again the next time I am in Portland.

I was one of those super analytical, linear thinking left brainers. Through practicing yoga at NEY I became way more in touch with my body, presence and spirituality. The guided practice opened a door to a fuller life and provided a foundation I can always come home to. Casey is amazing! He is wise and patient. He exudes some of the best energy I've felt and holds down one hell of a space.

This is THE place to practice Ashtanga yoga in Portland. You will find no other studio in Portland that provides such a quality holistic experience. Teachers act as facilitators, allowing your practice to be your own. You will never be forced into a pose not yet appropriate for you body, but are welcome to explore new challenges safely with supervision and guidance. You'll learn the mental practice in addition to the physical and no doubt experience it's benefits off the mat. Opportunity to learn about yoga's history and philosophy are also available. The studio is a welcoming, inspiring place to study and practice.

I love my morning sessions at Near East Yoga. Mysore Style Ashtanga Yoga is a self-paced personal journey. Casey and the other teachers at this studio provide guidance in a supportive, welcoming environment. Though there are few words exchanged during practice, the collective energy of the breath among everyone in the studio allows me to deepen my own practice. My only lament is that I don't go often enough!

Casey Palmer, the founder and teacher of Near East Yoga, is such a wealth of information and so nurturing, and supportive in his teachings. I love the way he holds space for kirtan. It is an all inclusive affair, steeped in tradition, yet open and spontaneous when it comes to our participation. The space is like a hidden secret, so warm and welcoming. You feel at ease and comforted.Right outside is the crazy city. The contrast is evident. I love Casey and Near East Yoga!

AWESOME! Fun! Rewarding! Enlightening! SO special! These are just a few words to describe this studio. The space itself is welcoming and so conveniently located to arrive either by bike or bus. And i even live in the Southeast but my commute has thankfully been no troubles. Honestly, even if the commute was a bit of a drag, this studio's many offerings give easy justification for it. There is so much more than yoga practice here. If one is ready and willing, you can find paths to yoga living here too.but yoga is a very personal, fluid , and always growing practice so this studio can offer you what you want at this moment and when want more, it will be there waiting for you. So if you just want to just stretch and/or try something new: this is the best place to begin. If you are a devout yogi/yogini teacher or student trying to compliment or expand your practical : this is especially the best place for you. If you dont even want do move your body in any way but want to discover ways to practice yoga in your heart, spirit, and mind : this is also the best place to wonder and play. I have been to many studios in few states, and Casey's studio is a genuine gem of Portland.

Near East is the best studio in Portland to practice yoga. Whether you need instruction in the method, or a clean quiet place for your established practice, or a bit of coaching and encouragement, you will find it here. Teachers are helpful but not intrusive, and the community is welcoming, not cliquey.

Even if you have heard that Ashtanga is hard, or dangerous, or boring, give this studio a try and you will find out why so many people make this method their own custom, portable, and genuine practice.
