Louisa Irele (she/her)

Always a lover of movement, Louisa was first introduced to yoga by her dance teacher in high school, but it wasn't until after college that she truly fell in love with the way her asana practice ignited her awareness in all aspects of her life, both on and off the mat. Her journey took her through many different styles of yoga and ultimately to the completion of her 200hr certification in Krama Vinyasa from Illumina Yoga. She has since added additional certifications in different modalities, including barre through The Portland Yoga Project in 2019.

Louisa believes true wellness cannot be measured in numbers, and should be accessible to every body. She incorporates elements of trauma-informed instruction to create a welcoming environment for all to safely explore their own natural movement. Her classes are influenced by her dance background to create a dynamic flow set to a playful playlist.

She lives in Portland with her husband, daughter, and two pets, KurtTheCat and KoalaDog.
