Elk Rock Yoga

About this retreat

Elk Rock values all levels, body friendly classes and we honor being healthy at any size. We are privileged to share an ancient practice and honor all eight limbs of yoga by offering educational experiences. We accept you where you are, while also supporting you to make positive change.

We foster compassion, connection and joy each time we practice yoga. Come join us!

Elk Rock Island is 12-acre seasonal island on the Willamette River formed 40 million years ago by a volcano, and walkable from our original location in Milwaukie during the dry season. Elk Rock Yoga was founded in 2016 and opened a Southeast Portland location in 2022. We closed the original location in 2023 and are currently thriving in Portland.

We acknowledge the ancestral lands upon which our studio now stands, and honor the enduring relationship between this land in the Indigenous Peoples of Milwaukie and Portland, which include the Clackamas, Molalla, Kalapuya, and many other Tribes along the confluence of the Willamette, Molalla, and Clackamas Rivers. We offer scholarship opportunities to Indigenous people at Elk Rock Yoga to balance the history that has been erased during colonization.
