OmBase Yoga

Specialties

We specialize in «organic free range» yoga… so unlike much of the yoga you’ll find taught today, our focus is less on the pose, and more on what’s happening in the pose… what is coming through you organically? Without your imposing some external structure?

Most of the teachers at Om Base have many years of experience practicing and teaching yoga, and all are versed in life as well as in the physical aspect of yoga. Structure and alignment are noted, but the focus is on discovering the inner teacher. Depending on the teacher, the class may be more or less eclectic, incorporating various styles.

Some of the classes we offer are Pre and Postnatal Yoga, Easy Does It (for seniors and those with some movement challenges), Restorative Yoga, BLIS, Freerange Yoga, Yin Yoga, Classical Hatha Yoga, Flow classes, Immersion series, and now Belly dancing too! We also offer other healing modalities such as bodywork, energy work, energetic readings and healings.

History

Established in 2008.

After 5 years teaching at our smaller studio at our home (Sacred Onion) down the road, Om Base came into being and opened in Oct 2008, with the help of many amazing crafts people, designers, woodworkers, artists and more. We envisioned a space where people of all ages can come and share not just yoga but can feel welcomed. A place where we can let down our guard and uncover more of who we are.

We just celebrated two and a half years of «Om» and want to say thank you to all of you who have found Om Base and continue to find a home here and add so much to our community.

We are not here to change you, but rather to support your change.

Meet the Business Owner

Vittoria and Todd W.

Business Owner

Todd and Vittoria started their yoga path about 20 years ago, in different parts of the world. They came together in Los Angeles, where they were practicing power yoga and ashtanga. Over the years their individual style morphed into a less active practice, incorporating various elements from the outside teachers as well as their inner teachers.

After having been in Portland 8 years and teaching in various parts of town, and after having a small home yoga studio, Todd and Vittoria decided to do what they said they were never going to do! Open another commercial yoga studio… As soon as the decision was made, Om Base was created and was born very quickly.

At its core, Om Base is created for community, and by community. A place to come together, in unity, and share with others. As the word spreads, we are growing and sharing this way with others. yoga as life… a way of life, a way being, a way of living and sharing. Dare to share, and let your life become your yoga.
