Embodied Creativity: A Yoga & Writing Workshop
Saturday, September 26, 2026 from 2pm-4pm
with Miranda Beggin & Emma Reynolds at PYP DOWNTOWN
Embodied Creativity blends gentle yoga, guided meditation, and reflective writing to support creativity, clarity, and self-connection. Through accessible movement and breath, you’ll create space in your body and nervous system. From that grounded place, you’ll be guided through simple writing prompts designed to help you explore what’s present for you—without overthinking, pressure, or the need to produce anything “perfect.” This is not a performance-based writing workshop, and there’s no expectation to share your writing unless you want to. The focus is on process over product: noticing sensation, emotion, and thought, and allowing words to emerge organically from that awareness.
No prior yoga or writing experience is required. This space is welcoming of all bodies, backgrounds, and creative identities. Whether you’re feeling creatively blocked, emotionally full, or simply craving a few hours of quiet reflection, this workshop offers a gentle, supportive container to reset and reconnect. You’ll leave feeling more settled in your body, clearer in your mind, and more connected to your own inner rhythms and creative energy.

with Julie Campilio at PYP FOREST
Family Soothe & Move is a playful caregiver-and-child class that uses evidence-based mind/body tools to help children and the adults who care for them regulate their nervous systems through movement, mindfulness, and connection.
Each class weaves together movement, games, music, breathing exercises, mindful moments, and guided imagery that are thoughtfully designed to support emotional regulation, body awareness, and resilience in ways that feel joyful, engaging, and developmentally appropriate.
Through shared experiences, caregivers and children have opportunities to slow down, connect, and practice gentle nervous system regulation together. Caregivers leave with simple, evidence-based tools that support co-regulation and help create moments of safety, connection, and calm that can be woven into everyday life.
Designed for children ages 3–10 and their caregivers.

Action Event: Donation Vinyasa Class for Presente Maine
Saturday, October 31, 2026 from 11am-12pm-ish
with Victoria Rutledge at PYP FOREST
For the last few years, The Portland Yoga Project has been working hard to truly embody the values of mutuality and solidarity that is at the heart of a fully expressed yoga practice. We’ve created a database of organizations and non-profits who are doing value aligned work. We have invited our students and community members to create comprehensive mutual aid plans that keep them in relationship to all the positive work that's going on in the greater Portland area (whether that’s $5 a month, or $50). We’ve created affinity spaces where folks of all identities can gather, generally for free, to get a chance to move and play in their bodies, and their pace.
But we know that we can do more.
Starting this fall, we are going to host events that directly fund the organizations that we support.
On Saturday, October 31st, Vinyasa with Victoria at 11am will be a donation-based class that benefits Presente! Maine. We will talk about the good work that Presente is doing in service to the immigrant population here in Maine, and make sure that we are leaving folks inspired and accountable for setting up their continual mutual aid practices.
We will have snacks and some time to hang out after the class, to get to know each other and build the kind of bonds that remind us that our safety, liberation, and agency are tied together!
Bring a friend, bring your wallet, and bring your body to move and be in community.
Register below for free so we know how many to expect. Donations will be taken at the desk!
Yoga & the Mind: An Exploration of Yoga Texts and their Practical Everyday Applications
Sunday, November 15, 2026 from 12pm-4pm
with Rebecca Ketchum at PYP DOWNTOWN
Description:
While most yoga classes focus on the poses, the yogic tradition offers much more. Yoga's history and philosophy are complex, offering a rich foundation for engaging mindfully with the world. Through discussion, close readings, and lecture, we will unpack various aspects of yoga philosophy, focusing primarily on Patanjali's Yoga Sutras. Throughout the workshop, we will explore how somatics intersects with the postures, breathwork, the idea of the "self", and mindfulness practices built into Patanjali's system. Participants should expect to move, breathe, and discuss from a "beginner's mind" perspective. Come ready to move and please bring a journal.
Who is this workshop for?
Anyone interested in yoga and philosophy, including both students and teachers. It serves as a great refresher for those with 200-hour certifications or an excellent introduction for beginners.
About Rebecca:
Rebecca’s interest in the philosophy of yoga has led her to study with Manorma, Seth Powell, Michael Stone, and Rhagav-ji, among others. While she understands that Patanjali's Yoga Sutras are not yoga’s only important text, she sees them as a great point of entry into the complexities of yoga philosophy. Rebecca acknowledges that she teaches from an etic (outside of the culture) perspective, and she addresses issues of cultural appropriation and the history of injustices that accompany yoga. In addition to teaching yoga at Kula, Rebecca is on the faculty of several yoga teacher training schools around the world.”

Join Victoria as you ease your body and nervous system back into harmony. Brief asana practice will prepare the body for Yoga Nidra as we travel from the awareness of the physical body to the awareness of the subtle energetic body. Yoga Nidra is a passive practice that is designed to create deep relaxation in the body and mind. It is for everybody and every body. It requires no movement--just you and your mat. Once you are in a state of peace, you will bask in the vibrations of quartz singing bowls.

Planting Seeds for Spring: Practice for the Season Ahead
Saturday, March 28, 2026 from 2pm-3:30pm
with Mel Walbridge at PYP DOWNTOWN
Spring marks a turning point — from the quiet and dormancy of winter to a season of renewal, growth and possibility. Join me during the first week of spring to move, breathe, and set intentions for the season ahead.
In this 1.5-hour class, we will incorporate movement, pranayama, and Katonah Yoga™ practices to support the transition from winter into spring. We will begin with a short (optional) journaling practice, followed by pranayama and movement designed to open areas of the body and energetic lines that support seasonal renewal. This class is an opportunity to prepare your body and mind for spring with clarity and intention.
This class may be used toward required hours for those working toward Katonah Yoga™ certification.

Handstands & Flow
Saturday, March 14 from 2pm-3:30pm
with Liz Merci at PYP DOWNTOWN
A cruisy & challenging flow for anyone curious about playing into handstands on the yoga mat! We'll start class with a fun flow that warms up the shoulders, hips and core and gets us into balance proprioceptive mode. Liz will sprinkle in handstand drills that will get you thinking and playing into this space. Then we'll slow things down with deep stretches, reintegration, and intentional time for handstand hops and holds. There will be plenty of wall space to use and Liz will be assisting anyone who would like hands on feedback. A few final restorative poses and a long savasana will conclude this class.
All workshops/events are non-refundable/transferrable.
