Convenient PDX Location

Convenient PDX Location

Firelight Yoga is conveniently located in North Portland just west of I-5, (on the corner of N. Killingsworth St. and N. Interstate Ave.) The MAX train and the bus both stop right outside our front door! Parking is all free, street parking in the neighborhood. If you are driving, please allow yourself plenty of time to navigate traffic and find your parking spot so that you can arrive to class on time. Bike racks are available in front of, and at the rear of, our building.

The Portland Metro area rests on traditional village sites of the Multnomah, Wasco, Cowlitz, Kathlamet, Clackamas, Bands of Chinook, Tualatin, Kalapuya, Molalla, and many other tribes who made their homes along the Columbia River creating communities and summer encampments to harvest and use the plentiful natural resources of the area” (Portland Indian Leaders Roundtable, 2018). We want to acknowledge the land upon which our studio occupies and thank the original caretakers of this land.

We look forward to welcoming you into our FLY family and to be able to practice alongside you. We could not do this without you all and without the support from our amazing team of employees!

The best thing I could do for myself!

Words can’t even begin to describe how grateful I am to have found such a lively, yet relaxing, studio. Each class I have taken has exceeded any expectation that I had, and I have left feeling confident, strong, and capable. I don’t want to exclude any of the wonderful instructors, as I have loved taken classes from all, but I especially loved any class I have taken with Joey, Amy, Leah, or Zach. They are all so supportive! Firelight is the best thing I could have done for my mental and physical health, so thank you, from the bottom of my heart for a great intro month and I am so excited to continue my membership!
