My name is Stephanie and I have been practicing yoga since 2011. I graduated from Hot Yoga for Life’s Teacher Training in 2014. From the second I walked out of my first Hot Yoga class, I was hooked. It wasn’t until I started practicing more frequently, that I learned it was so much much more than a workout for your body, but it can transform the mind and body connection as well. I love teaching yoga to all types of bodies and people, and seeing the smiles on their faces after a class. My main focus while I teach, is to light up the students in my class and give them the energy they need to practice and help their mind/body connection. I teach a lot of military personnel and veterans, so this is a big part of their healing process and practice in being able to have a connected feeling with their mind and body.

About Studio Operations

Schedule patterns at both locations balanced weekday morning, midday, and evening classes with weekend offerings that supported students who couldn't attend weekday sessions. The class schedule reflected typical Portland yoga community usage patterns — heaviest demand at 6am, lunch hour, and 6-7pm slots, with weekend mornings drawing dedicated practice communities. Specialty classes (slow flow, restorative) filled lighter time slots.

The location archive documents the practical operational details that shaped student experience at Hot Yoga For Life — class capacity, scheduling, pricing, parking, and the small operational considerations that determined which students could realistically integrate the studio into their weekly routines. These details often determined who became a long-term member versus who tried a class but didn't return.
