about the bhaktishop

Welcome!

The Bhaktishop is a labor of love, hatched over years of wanting to bring a celebration of the gifts of this deep and divine tradition that is yoga to as wide a community as we can reach. This practice comes in so many colors, shapes, and paths that it can be challenging at times to navigate the waters of “Which practice is right for me?”

For us, the truth is that whatever practice resonates with you, calls you over and over again to the mat, and opens your heart, is the practice that is right for you! Lisa Mae and Diana share a deep love and respect for the poetry of life, the richness of the traditions of Hatha yoga, and the many mystical cultures from around the world that come together to shape a self-guided tour of your own personal journey within. We aim to honor and revere yoga in all of its diversity, with an attitude of grace and a willingness to allow the profound openings that are possible to pour forth from all of our hearts. With this grace and the resolute devotion to service to humanity, we humbly serve the notion that all beings everywhere deserve happiness and freedom!

Our studio offers a place in which your truth, beauty, and courageous spirits are brought out and celebrated—we deeply honor and respect your amazing path to your deeper self!  Our teachers offer wanderers and wonderers alike an abundantly joyful and divinely love-filled opportunity to dive deeply into their own mystery, encouraged on the yoga path by asana, pranayama, meditation, singing, community spirit, and opening in new and delightful ways. Welcome one and all to our new home!

Missed out on the other summer retreats? Get your asana out of town! Come away with Heidi to the Oregon coast September 5-7th for a yummy weekend of yoga and surfing or lazing about, enjoying the last days of the sunshine and summer bounty. Check the retreats page for details…

Guru Purnima Practice Friday July 18, 4-6am (we’re not kidding!)

Join us as we celebrate the teacher everywhere in our annual Guru Purnima celebration. Please bring an item for the altar signifying the guru or teacher you are celebrating, and practice in an open format with other seekers in any way you like—we will chant and sit in meditation together, and leave time in between for you to bow down to all teachers everywhere in your own practice. Doors open at 4am. An amazing way to bring to life an age-old tradition with your yoga family. By donation.

Yoga Workshop for Dealing with Trauma

This month we co-host Street Yoga founder and hometown hero Mark Lilly in a workshop entitled “Moving Through Trauma with Love and Stillness—How Yoga Can Help You Release Past Hurts (and Get On with Living Fully Right Now).” Co-taught by Mark Lilly, Lisa Mae and Diana, this workshop is for adults who are enduring any of the effects of any form of trauma, whether recent or old, psychic or physical, spiritual or emotional. Use yoga, chanting, and meditation as tools to move through old patterns. Go to the workshops page for more details.

Green Yoga Association

Yes, we are joining up with the greenies around the world to try and step a little lighter on the earth. By joining the Green Yoga Association and following their lead, we are making every attempt to bring you a sweeter, lighter-impact space in which to get funky on your eco-mats. Word.
