I had a wonderful experience. Anya provided helpful guidance from the beyond and Mel gave me my favorite massage so far. I greatly appreciate Mel for masking during my massage/energy work session. And I did make it to the ocean afterwards, thank you both

We stumbled upon this place while trying to get out of the rain and were so happy we did! They have a ton of crystals, herbal blends, tinctures, jewelry and books. The staff was all really friendly.They offered massages and Reiki also, so my spouse decided to get a Reiki treatment. He said it was phenomenal and so glad that he did it. Fantastic shop and therapies!

I had been in to Arcana before to shop around and I absolutely love the shop, but I had never taken a yoga class here before. Recently I tried it out and took Kristine’s yin & reiki class. It was AMAZING. It was exactly what I needed, so relaxing and rejuvenating- I felt amazing after class! The yoga space is cozy and inviting and Kristine’s class was so wonderful. She came around the room to do reiki on all the yogis as she guided us through deep breathing in each posture, and ended class playing the singing bowl. I can’t wait to come back for yoga and I hope to schedule a massage here soon too!

Arcana is an absolute gem(pun intended) of a shop. The owner, Jennie, is knowledgeable and kind. They have a lovely selection of crystals, and the yoga classes there are thoughtful and supportive. I recently stopped in to pick up a crystal for a friend who is beginning chemo, and Lu was incredibly helpful- researching what stone would be best, and taking time to walk me through the various options, while discussing in a very in depth manner what would be best. Every time I walk into Arcana, I feel instantly more calm, help, and accepted. I highly recommend this shop.

My daughter and I each did a tarot card reading at Arcana for fun when we visited Portland. The shop is really cute, and they make good use of the space. The staff was friendly and welcoming. They have yoga, reiki, massage, etc.

Ive said it a bunch of times to anyone who will listen, when you step inside Arcana you instantly *feel* better just by being there. Jennie and the Arcana family have worked tirelessly to foster a welcoming, safe space to feel nurtured and supported. It can be while you shop for the items that will help support your energy and spirit throughout the day. It can be when talking with the incredible staff who can help educate and guide you through the many tools and resources for healing they offer. It can be through their exceptional yoga, energy, and body work programs that help reunite you to your truest self. Arcana is a magical place of healing and nurturing. I am always grateful for their presence.

Cute little shop where I often grab last minute gifts for people. If no material objects speak to me I buy my friends/family gift cards for massage. Haley is one of the most talented massage therapists I have experienced- and i am a massage therapist!!!!! Arcanas yoga studio also offers longer yoga classes than most post-pandemic studios in town for the same price. They do almost everything here, and do it with dedication and craft.

I went to Arcana for a tarot reading and reiki massage with Dianne and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. Dianne was spot on with my reading and intuitively knew just what I needed with energy work. She’s super cool and has great energy. The massage was incredible and much much needed. I seriously felt like a new person afterwards. I’m from NJ so unfortunately I can’t come back here very often, but next time I’m in Portland I will absolutely make sure I visit Arcana and Dianne again. I also love their shop and how they sell products from local artists and other small businesses! Overall an awesome place :)

From the moment I entered, to completing the simple check in process, having a quick dialogue with Massage Therapist and Reiki Master Dianne, and laying on the heated table, I felt relief and healing energies. And then my session began. Dianne is intuitive, a professional, and has great technique. Will definitely be back and I feel grateful Arcana is in our community.

What an incredibly friendly and inviting atmosphere. Right when you walk into the store from the busy life beyond the sidewalk, you are welcomed by total comfort. The owners are absolutely a joy to converse with, and their knowledge is insurmountable. I look forward very much to attending their Yoga classes, beginning soon!!You can also find healing stones, GORGEOUS (and affordable) jewelry, locally made natural soaps, oils and more!!

Amazing local arts and crafts, beautiful rocks/crystals, yoga props and mats, and much more out front. Lovely massage, reiki, and polarity therapists in back. Bernadette and Sharon give amazing massages and there is a flavor to suit all needs. Jennie is one of the most soulful yoga teachers I have ever had the privilege of taking class with and I cant wait for the day when my schedule changes and allows me to sneak into her classes here! she is a very talented teacher and goes beyond just the exercise/physical postures. If you are looking for a haven to meet all of your self-care needs, this is the place to be in Portland...5 stars without a doubt!

This is one of my safe havens. Ive had some pretty incredible spiritual experiences here with some of the most amazing people in Portland.

Massage and Bars Access by Sarah is incredible and completely relaxing. Im everyday grateful for this amazing location. Totally recommended to anyone and everyone.

The light, love and sense of community that Arcana (as well as Arcana School of Yoga) embodies is felt the moment you walk through the door. Sacred. Authentic. Inclusive. A truly magical place. My experience as a student of the Arcana School of Yoga 200 hour Yoga Teacher Training was a positively transformative experience that is difficult to put into words. I am so grateful and blessed to have trained with some of the best in the business. Arcana holds a special place in my heart and will be a part of my yoga family, forever. Om Shanti!
