Get to Know Sellwood Yoga

Sellwood Yoga is a local, family-operated yoga studio in the heart of the Sellwood neighborhood in Southeast Portland. Since 2009, we’ve offered thoughtful, accessible yoga classes, workshops, teacher training programs, retreats, and community-centered experiences. We welcome students of all levels and believe yoga should support real life, real bodies, and real people.

Our instructors bring a non-dogmatic, inclusive approach to their teaching and a genuine enthusiasm for sharing the benefits of yoga and mindful living. Each brings their own background, training, and perspective — which means no two classes feel quite the same.

We offer a well-rounded schedule designed for new students, experienced practitioners, and everyone in between. Above all, we strive to create a space that’s relaxing, beautiful, and supportive — a place where you leave each class feeling better than when you arrived.

Welcome to our studio — we’re so glad you found us.

Sellwood Yoga Studio Founders

Siblings Savonn Wyland and Bill Wyland bring together decades of experience teaching yoga and running successful, community-centered yoga studios. They opened their first studio, Bernal Yoga, in 2002 while living in the Bernal Heights neighborhood of San Francisco. When life brought them to Portland they quickly fell in love with the Sellwood neighborhood and in 2009, Sellwood Yoga opened its doors.

Savonn lives with her family just around the corner from the studio, and you’ll often see them out walking, biking, and enjoying the neighborhood. Bill and his family now live in nearby Woodstock and are frequent visitors to Sellwood, where Bill teaches, visits with friends, and stays closely connected to the studio and community.
