I highly recommend Tonya Garreaud's yoga classes and Jewel Yoga. Tonya's sequences are thoughtful and she takes care of each and every student in her classes. Tonya's teachings extend beyond the mat. She skillfully integrates teachings on well-being and philosophy, challenging me to become the best version of myself. She also offers workshops for beginning, intermediate, and advanced practitioners and offers mentorship to teachers. Her retreats are also delightful. I'm grateful to have Tonya as my teacher.

Jewel Yoga has a robust offering of classes, workshops and invites senior Iyengar yoga teachers each year for weekend workshops. If you are interested in a studio with a community of dedicated practitioners, then Jewel Yoga is for you!

My favorite yoga studio in Portland — the teachers are incredibly knowledgeable, and they actually teach how to get into, hold, and get out of each pose. I’d done yoga for over a decade before starting here, but I have never felt myself improve so quickly.

If you are looking to develop and deepen your yoga practice, this is the place for you.

This yoga studio is all Iyengar yoga, which is such a wonderfully different experience than your average yoga studio. The intention is health, mindfulness, alignment, and safety. A yoga class here always leaves me feeling balanced, lengthened, stronger, peaceful, and more supple. The practice is what you make of it. The instructors are very experienced, caring, and talented. Great facility and props. Jewel gets my highest recommendation.

Iyengar yoga is life changing and will be in my life forever. Jewel yoga has amazing instructors, focused on long-term health of both the body and mind. I've loved every instructor I've ever had at Jewel. The best way to come out of COVID isolation is to attend in person classes in an unsuspecting, beautiful space in downtown Portland.

I began taking classes at Jewel Yoga in January 2018, and I wish I had started much sooner. I go to Cindy Irvine's Gentle Yoga classes, and it is perfect for what I need. Somehow Cindy remembers everyone's particular issue (ankle, hip, back issues, etc.) and is a wonderful instructor. Jewel Yoga is close enough to me that I can walk to class, but I would follow them to wherever they were located.

I started with Cindy's Level 1 last term & am now taking Tonya's Level 1-2. I had done Iyengar yoga in San Francisco where used to live & feel very lucky to have found a new studio here in Portland. I really like the instructors I've met & the students I've talked to were very welcoming. I am challenged & inspired. Thank you for existing!

The studio is a great size, layout and lighting, with windows allowing fresh air when weather is right. The teachers are exceptional. Even the newer teachers have inherited an expansive repertoire from the more experienced. I also don't drive whenever possible, so the access to Max is wonderful even in pouring rain.

The studio is orderly and comfortable, and the instruction provided is consistent from one instructor to the next, so that I never feel shy about dropping in on a class. I especially appreciate the coupling of practicing asanas with becoming mindful. After class I not only feel better physically, I feel like I'm becoming a better person.

The studio is a lovely space; its many windows contribute to a feeling of openness and light. Tonya's teaching method is cheerful, consistent and precise. I plan to be a student for years to come.

Both my wife and I have practiced yoga for more than a decade at JLYC. This is a gem of a yoga studio with superb instruction, a light filled downtown studio and a friendly, comfortable ambiance. JLYC has deep roots in Portland and in the Iyengar tradition. Iyengar teacher training is rigorous, so classes are challenging at the appropriate levels, well organized and safe. JLYC often hosts visiting teachers and inspiring special classes. Whether you are a stark beginner, an experienced instructor, or an average yogi, you'll find great classes and teachers here.

I have spent this last year taking classes from different instructors at the Julie Lawrence Yoga Center. Each of the instructors I experienced, Cindy, Terry, Roberto, Allison, and Julie had so much to offer. Their passion and dedication are evident as they instruct with precision and compassion. I look forward to dropping in for classes each time I visit family here in Portland.

I have had 3 classes here so far and it has been great. I have received a lot of focused instruction from the teachers I've practiced under (Tonya and Alison). The space is comfortable with a nice view.

I would definitely encourage others to practice here.
