Forge Hot Yoga Alberta District — Attraction in Portland

I cannot say enough positive things about this studio. I have been coming here for years. I have lived in Seattle and the portland area and been to LOTS of studios; none of them even come close to Forge. First and foremost, the instructors and owners are amazing! They all go above and beyond to make studio members feel welcome! This studio also offers HIIT classes, which are incredibly challenging, but Forge manages to make the classes fun!. The HIIT classes are different every time, and every instructor offers their own teaching style. This is great for people like me, because I struggle with workouts where it’s the same each time. HIIT is my favorite, but there are lots of other great offerings from this studio too. Also of note, years ago I was in a car accident and started to develop arthritis in my foot and was looking at a very invasive surgery. For some reason these classes seem to keep my arthritis under control and I’ve been able to hold off on surgery. Also, because of my injuries I can’t do some of the positions, but the instructors always help with modifications, which is great!

A friend bought me a 7-class pack for a gift last summer, but I quickly found out I was pregnant and my doctor advised against hot yoga. Angela, the owner, was super understanding and said my pack wouldn't expire, and I could just reach back out postpartum to use the remaining classes. After having my baby, I reached back out and she was so kind and honored the earlier commitment. For my first workout postpartum I did the hot vinyasa flow on Tuesday at 7pm with Nicki. It was INCREDIBLE! I cannot speak highly enough about Nicki, Angela and the environment of this studio. You are immediately relaxed in settling in on your mat. They turn off the lights in the room and the heat isn't overwhelming. It takes 10-15 minutes of class to really start to sweat, but by the end you are drenched. Before savasana they provide you with a cool towel that smells like refreshing essential oil. The entire experience is so calming and welcoming for people of all levels. I left feeling uplifted and eager for my next session. Definitely try out Forge you...

My wife (I'm a dude) got me into hot yoga 8 years ago. A month after starting my body felt like it was 23 again even tho it was 50lbs overweight. Now balls deep into my 40's, my body is 20lbs overweight, my body feels 25. You can't stop time, but you can turn it back and slow it down. With that said, I love this studio. All the instructors are knowledgeable. Everybody with any body is welcome. The hot yoga is hot, but you can definitely bear it even if you think you cannot. The Hot 90 minute class rejuvenates and relaxes and builds mental endurance. Your back will love it. The Hot 60 minute class reinvigorates and energizes and saves you some time. Your back will like-like it. The Yin class goes deep and long. Your hips will love it The Hot Pilates class goes fast and hard. Your...
