Vinyasa · co-founder
Former dancer, twelve years teaching. Believes the hardest pose of the week is Thursday's, and it's called "showing up".
Our story · since 2019
A print shop that learned to breathe.
Stillpoint opened when two friends signed a lease on a dusty print shop on Alder Street, swept the ink off the floor, and taught eleven classes a week to whoever wandered in.
Values
What we stand on
-
01
Breath before poses
If you leave breathing better than you arrived, the class worked.
-
02
Small rooms
We cap classes at sixteen so teachers can actually teach people, not crowds.
-
03
No mirrors
You'll feel a pose long before you need to watch it. Trust the inside view.
-
04
Everybody, really
All bodies, all budgets — community slots in every single class.
Teachers
The people at the front of the room
Three of our twelve teachers — the ones you'll meet in your first month.
Daniel Okafor
Strength · alignment
Ex-rugby player turned alignment nerd. Runs Foundations with the patience of a man who has fallen out of crow ten thousand times.
Sofia Reyes
Yin · breathwork
Trained in Kyoto and Portland. Teaches rest like it's a skill — because it is, and it might be the most useful one you learn here.
“We didn't want a fitness studio. We wanted the living room of the neighbourhood.” — Maya & Daniel, co-founders
