The Portland Yoga Project

THE ARC FLOW
with Mel Walbridge
$25 and FREE for auto-renew members

June 20 // 2-4pm // PYP downtown

The Arc Flow is a 2-hour yoga class designed to move you through a full arc of practice—from dynamic movement and focused breathwork to deep, supported rest.

We’ll begin with a steady, breath-centered vinyasa flow designed to warm the body, build strength, and create spaciousness, physically and mentally. Expect intentional sequencing, adaptable challenge, and space to explore both effort and ease.

Pranayama will be woven throughout the practice to support focus, nervous system regulation, and a deeper connection to your breath and body. We’ll close with long-held, restorative postures, fully supported with props, allowing time to slow down, integrate, and reset.

Open to all levels. Come ready to move, breathe, and rest deeply.

Saturday, June 6, 2026
1:30 PM 3:30 PM
with Dr. Jenn Gelfand at PYP FOREST

Osteoporosis and low bone density don’t mean you have to stop moving—but they do call for a more intentional and supportive approach. This 90-minute workshop offers an informed, empowering way to practice yoga while supporting bone health, strength, balance, and confidence. Led by Dr. Jennifer Gelfand, Doctor of Physical Therapy, yoga & barre instructor, and Owner of Root to Rise Physical Therapy & Pelvic Health, this workshop blends evidence-based physical therapy principles with yoga and functional strength. You’ll learn how bones respond to load, which movements support bone health, and how to adapt yoga to reduce fracture risk while building resilience. This workshop is appropriate for those with osteoporosis or osteopenia, and no prior yoga experience is required.
