Cary Spaeth

I have been a dedicated practitioner of Yoga for more than half my life, and have been teaching for over a decade. I have studied in-depth with Sarah Trelease (my primary teacher, from whom I received certification to teach Hatha + Vinyasa yoga) and countless others. My approach to teaching is conversational, inviting, intuitive, differentiated to the best of my capacities in the moment, and reverent to the headwaters of this most generous wisdom tradition. Above all else, my offerings are grounded in my experience as a researcher of my own practice. In my classes you can expect a blend of the styles I have been fortunate to learn through practicing them. I share what is alive in me at a breathable pace, with a keen curiosity about the subtlety of real-time change.

My greatest teachers are my beloved, our two dogs, the communities I roll with, and my practices. I teach a handful or so of regularly scheduled, moderately paced vinyasa-style classes in Portland and Vancouver Washington, with an emphasis on psycho/somatic curiosity and the transcendent brilliance of the quotidian. I am a death doula + grief worker, a devotee of language and the phenomenal ephemera that backs it up, and a newly licensed public high school Language Arts teacher participating in this most grand experiment while attempting to remember what it’s all about.
