The Yoga Project - Sellwood

"Yoga for the Larger Women"

Now, The YoYos were pretty sure that there are as many paths in Yoga, as there are yogis…but after seein’ what we’ve seen during this epic adventure, we now believe that down to our yogi toes. Today’s class at The Yoga Project, was entitled “Yoga for the Larger Woman”, a “for women only” class held in the super-inviting, upstairs studio located in the “fun to hang in”, Sellwood neighborhood. YoYoman and The Ru, man dog, “sadly” hung back in the lap of luxury to work on “Power OM”.

Bill & Vilma Owners of The Yoga Project

When YoYoYogini entered 15 minutes before class to find an already filled to capacity room, she new somethin’ pretty special was goin’ on here. These fiercely dedicated, territorial devotees of this amazing program, sang the praises of Vilma Zaleskaite, the teensy-weensy, heavy-accented, funnier than hell, super-caring teacher who designed an amazing class that was both sensitive to those with limited mobility and quite challenging. Born out of her “yoga for seniors” class with the average age hoverin’ upwards of 80, this remarkably in-tune instructor created a safe haven that gave these courageous women the confidence to…just start. Standin’ taller, walkin’ eaiser”… this sharing, tight knit community provides the mental shift that allows these yogis to breathe and feel balance enter their lives….The YoYo’s are pretty sure that’s what yoga is all about. Vilma and this group of dedicated “never miss class” yogis are a total inspiration!
