Not a joiner! I've tried yoga classes at a few other studios and never continued beyond a few sessions. This place is different - in a good way. The vibe is like a church: sacred and safe. I immediately felt lifted just by being there. The Kundalini classes that I've taken here have me ringing like a bell! I LOVE IT and plan to practice here as long as I possibly can.

I had my very first yoga class at Mandala this morning. I attended the therapeutic yoga with Michelle Barton; it was fantastic. Her instructions were brief and descriptive and did not distract. She gave extra gentle attention when needed and was very focused on the students comfort and experience. Pretty studio. Great website with online features like booking, purchasing and information on classes and instructors. I thought yoga would come with a weird unwelcoming vibe because I am overweight but I was very comfortable. I will try other studios just because of the distance Mandala is from my home but I imagine I will become a regular there.

Kundalini yoga has been a game changer for me. This is the studio that introduced me to it. I've experimented with various types of meditation and yoga on and off over the years-- Restorative, Acro, Iyengar, Power, Bikram, Gentle, Vinyasa, etc, etc.

My mind is rarely ever quiet. There's a slew of thoughts bouncing around in my head constantly. I really enjoy and benefit from meditation, but Kundalini takes me a lot further. I can't explain Kundalini well and I am quite new to it-- but it combines movement, chanting, singing, repetitive movement. It's a very spiritual experience that attempts to bring awareness to your body while targeting your nervous system as well. It's a very personal experience-- YMMV, as they say.

It takes me to a level that I didn't know I could reach-- that I've never been to with any other type of yoga or meditation. It helps me deal with stress and anxiety. More importantly, I really believe it has also helped me with a lot of things that I haven't been dealing with. Things I've run away from and have pushed into my subconscious. I'm a "heads in the clouds" type of person, it's easy for me to feel detached from reality or my body. Kundalini really helps to ground me. It's a very raw, visceral experience.

If you're curious about Kundalini-- TRY IT. Come with an open mind and no expectations.

Mandala is one of only a few studios that teach Kundalini in Portland. There's a nice community of people here. They have special events here-- try going to a Gong Meditation or Kirtan. They're really amazing experiences.

I've taken classes with most the instructors here and have found that they're all very different so I would encourage you to try different ones. They all have different things to offer.

I thought I knew yoga but Mandala takes it to a new level. The owner is a fantastic teacher and includes a lot of variety into her classes. It is by the far the best yoga studio Portland has to offer.
