Atune Yoga

Yoga teachers like Allie make us connect to something within ourselves that needs shifting. I’ve been her student for over 10 years and love, love, love her intelligent, articulate instructions, her calming poetic voice and her ability to weave larger concepts than just physical benefits into her classes. It’s rare to find a teacher as well rounded and lovely. At Atune, Allie seemed to know the names of everyone there and didn’t make class a competitive work-​out. I’d esp recommend this to people with body issues, who might feel self conscious in a studio, this unique space is probably way better than a typical studio as there are somewhat private nooks to find your own practice in, which is rare. I brought my own mat, however it seemed like Atune had mats and any props you’d need on-​hand. Plus she’s a beautiful gal.

This is super good yoga, folks. Doesn’t matter if you’re such hot stuff you can do a walk-​over or so feeble you can’t tie your own shoelaces. Allie takes care of everyone.
Atune Yoga’s students are a physically diverse group – all ages, abilities, shapes, and sizes. Allie learns the aches, pains and injuries of every student and looks after everyone’s well-​being – there’s no risk of injury. She also has a knack for delivering instruction that seems to apply to everyone in the class but is really directed straight at you and your weakness du jour – laziness, fear, distraction, whatever. Allie gently guides her students to push through their perceived limits and stretch themselves, literally and figuratively.
Class meets in a quirky Old Town studio space at 12:15 on Tuesdays and Thursdays, and the afternoons following class always seem to speed by. (Yay! What a benefit!) The only thing better would be if class were available three days a week. Or four. Or maybe five.
Another great benefit of Atune – it’s so very affordable. Allie works hard to keep costs down for students so we can keep coming back for more.

After several sports related back injuries, a friend recommended I try out Atune yoga. Being a rook, I was a bit hesitant. Best decision I’ve made! The instructor (Allie) made my transition into the yoga world an exceptional one. Forget my back, my entire body feels healthier than it has in a very long time, and I owe it Atune.

Allie is an excellent yoga instructor. I have been taking her classes for years and I love her style of therapeutic and gentle yet challenging and fun flows. You will always feel at ease in her classes and get a good workout. I highly recommend her as a teacher.

I work in downtown Portland and the noontime yoga class at Atune fits perfectly in my day. The studio space is nice and the teacher is very knowledgable. Great flow and relaxed environment. I highly recommend for anyone working downtown that wants a solid yoga class.

I’ve been attending this class regularly over the past 3 years and I can’t imagine not having yoga as part of my life. My flexibility, strength, and balance have all been improved upon, and if I’m having a rough work day, I know I have class to look forward to. Allie has set a really high standard for me as far as teachers go and I feel as if I’ve been spoiled (in a good way). The classes are structured around what the students need on any given day and the pose of the month is always challenging and fun. The space in the Beardsley Building is really lovely and for a lunch time hiatus, it’s perfect! Check it out! Your first class is free!

I love the yoga instructor, she is excellent at providing a challenging practice that all levels can enjoy and benefit from. She also provides effective cues that help you to improve activation of your muscles and provide better body awareness in the poses. You will notice your improved strength, posture and mental focus after taking her classes.

A beautiful space, an extremely knowledgeable instructor, and a gentle flowing practice – what more could you ask for? Atune Yoga is perfect for every body. Allie, the instructor, has been teaching yoga since she was 16 and knows all kinds of adjustments to make each pose feel wonderful in your body. So, if you’re looking to build strength, increase flexibility, and minimize stress, check out Atune Yoga.
