Description

At speakeasy, we strive to teach you yoga classes that are strong, safe, inclusive, and empowering. If you’re looking for a place to feel fully accepted and empowered to be exactly who you are, Speakeasy is it. We believe that yoga should be for everyone, and instead of focusing on methodologies that may put you in a box, we think outside the lines and deliver classes that have a unique ability to support each practitioner in developing their practice in a way that suits their individual needs. Tori Reynolds - Owner @torieugene (she/her) Who are you? A strong-willed human. Loyal companion. Hard-working teammate. Loving partner. Community caretaker. Astrological sign: Libra (balance in action) Why yoga? It’s the ultimate collaboration. Mind and body. Breath and movement. It teaches us how to to be strong when we need to, but to soften where we can. Eliminates the rigidity and creates a state of flow, which can be really hard for me sometimes! Teaching style: No bullshit! Challenging, empowering, and compassionate. When you’re on the mat, we’re having a conversation, and I assure you, I’m tuned-in to your responses. Who/what inspires you? My family, my main squeeze, my TEAM! Really everyone has a story and valuable insight to share. We just have to be willing to ask, and more willing to listen. Inspiration is everywhere. Favorite pose: Handstands and hamstring openers.. neither are easy for me, but both teach me a ton, and often times result in a feeling of freedom and strength. Most embarrassing moment in a class: probably throwing out the old “downward facing dong” cue... Nonnegotiable: quality time. With my practice, the people I love, doing things I’m passionate about… And also peanut butter. Favorite jams to move to: Indie ambient beats for yoga, driving, bass heavy emotional tunes for all else. If I’m in the kitchen I’m going to want to find a bossanova station. Personal mantra: Let it land Currently working on: Standing in my power, being less distracted. Might catch you: Taking class at Speaekeasy! Walking Bruce + Harvey, cup of local coffee in hand, or frequenting another favorite downtown eatery!
