They offer an array of tools and support to accomplish this all important task. Please join me in frequenting this studio. Your life will thank you I promise! :)
Portal has brought so much into my life- of course, a calming and beautiful environment to grow my yoga practice, but also many friendships. Chelsy, the lovely owner of Portal as well as an instructor, is deeply passionate about the community that makes up Portal, always reminding each person that they hold a special place here.I can’t say enough good things about this studio and the instructors. Chelsy and Sara are just two of the many instructors I have met. Both radiate the best energy and each practice led by them holds a high level of thoughtfulness.You will always leave Portal feeling lighter, recharged, and with a sense of belonging
Portal is an amazing yoga studio that radiates positive energy and provides a peaceful atmosphere for your practice. I love taking classes with Sara - She’s an exceptional instructor and offers so much guidance and care towards all her students. I couldn’t recommend her enough! And the owner, Chelsy, is so welcoming and has created such a safe space for people to come together to enjoy their practice and feel part of a community. It’s a beautiful studio with a wide variety of classes for all skill levels!
Portal is a beautiful, peaceful, non-judgemental space filled with beautiful humans who collectively strive for growth. I am so grateful to have come across this space and always feel welcome and calm when I am there. All of the practitioners are kind, knowledgeable, and care about the services and messages they offer. 10/10 recommend, with all of the different modalities offered, youre bound to find a class, workshop, or service that works for you! Thank you to everyone involved in this beautiful, collective space.
I am so happy I stumbled upon this sweet and relaxing studio. Ive really enjoyed the empowered classes on Tuesday with Sara. Shes a gifted instructor and always has the best energy, her classes make yoga both exciting and challenging! I also enjoy the smaller class sizes. Its such a welcoming space and I love the workshops they host too. Chelsy is doing an amazing job cultivating this community!
Portal is truly an incredible space that allows you to feel safe, accepted, and loved from the moment you walk in the door. Every practice thats done here is thoughtful, though provoking, and allows you to be transported within your self. Yoga and wellness is all about finding our higher self, and Portal does an incredible job of providing a space for each person to do so.
I absolutely love this place. Locally owned, it’s a peaceful little oasis on busy Vista Ave. Very knowledgeable instructors, particularly Sarah and Chelsey, (but they are all amazing). I am addicted to Sarah’s emPowered Vinyasa class. Sarah has the gift of instruction: she can explain the poses so well that a beginner can pick it up quickly. If I arrive in a bad mood, or if I’m feeling negative, etc., I feel SO MUCH better after her class!This is not a big corporate studio, which means classes are small and thus, students get incredibly helpful, hands-on feedback and corrections from the instructors. So, selfishly, I didn’t want to leave a review because once the hoards figure it out, the red of us locals will have to fight for space like we do with everything else in Boise these days. But this place deserves to have five stars, so I gave in. ;)
I love taking these classes! I have done a lot of yoga, pilates, barre and strength classes over the years. Chelsy’s yogalates class blends all of the best parts of each into one fun session- the mobility work, the breath work, the muscle activation work, and the long holds under tension to build real strength. As a physical therapist I would highly recommend this class to anyone looking for cross training, core strength, and efficiency of your time! Check all that important stuff (lower abs, glutes, adductors, abductors) off your to do list, she has created a super thoughtful class for you. And the music is on point!
Portal is a space where community is prioritized and there is a genuine effort made to not only offer quality classes and special events of a WIDE variety, but to also support and create meaningful connections. I love the diversity of classes from yoga to ecstatic dance to meditation and everything in between there is truly something for everyone. Also, the space itself is beautiful and you immediately feel transported into a portal of goodness as soon as you step through the doors. I would highly recommend everyone check it out for themselves!
This collective is truly a gift to Boise. Portal is a welcoming and safe place to bring your spiritual practice to and is also an encouraging environment for practitioners to hold space for others. There is a strong sense of community and a genuine love for spiritual growth and healing. I definitely recommend Portal if you are even slightly interested in yoga, sound bowls, or any other spiritual modalities.
This yoga studio offers a clean and serene environment, fostering a peaceful atmosphere and promoting mental well-being. Chelsy, the instructor and owner is exceptional and genuinely shows care and attention towards her all of her students. The overall experience at this studio is truly incredible, and I make it a point to go whenever I can.
Portal is a warm and inviting space built with intention and love by two of the greatest women you will ever meet. Classes are hosted by some of the best yoga and fitness professionals in the valley. Supported by an amazing collective of health practitioners and yogis. Portal is the perfect place for anyone who is looking for a community regardless of one’s skill level or background.
This is the most welcoming space! Everyone is so welcoming and believes in helping everyone be their best selves in what ever that process is to get there. There is a wealth of support and guidance at Portal to heal, grow and be your true self with no judgements. What Portal will grow to be is a blessing to have in the community.
Amazing space with a wide variety of class types/times, workshops & events! Great Vibes - Authentic & Knowledgable Instructors 💗
Portal is one of Boise’s best hidden gems. Rebecca’s kundalini yoga and sound healing classes are the best classes Ive ever tried (and Ive tried a lot:). This space and the teachers are just amazing. A big thumbs up from me:).
