Breaking Surface
Let no one keep you from your journey,
no rabbi or priest, no mother
who wants you to dig for treasures
she misplaced, no father
who won't let one life be enough,
no lover who measures their worth
by what you might give up,
no voice that tells you in the night
it can't be done.
Let nothing dissuade you
from seeing what you see
or feeling the winds that make you
want to dance alone
or go where no one
has yet to go.
You are the only explorer.
Your heart, the unreadable compass.
Your soul, the shore of a promise
too great to be ignored.
~ Mark Nepo

Dear Friends,
After 14 years in the Perry District, we say farewell to our BUDDHIO and look forward to our new location at "the CLUTCH"! Thank you for your continued support during our transition, as we await our new studio home in the Sprague Union District! Less than a 5 min drive from the BUDDHIO, same zip, and in a 'South Perry-ish Yoga' location, we hope to be ready by early 2021. In the meantime, please join us for LIVE ZOOM or pre-recorded classes to meet your scheduling needs!
Welcome to the CLUTCH™, a place to gather and nourish your inner being through yoga, dance, therapeutics and mindful movement. Home to a collective of independent wellness entities, our mission is to support your journey toward a healthy lifestyle, and your body's innate ability to heal. We endeavor to honor your unique strengths and potential as you build a resilient foundation from which to navigate the waters of life.
Yoga Therapy, including Thai Yoga Therapy sessions, are available privately with licensed, board-certified health professionals, bringing an integration of medical training to their yoga care plans and skills as Certified Yoga Therapists with the International Association of Yoga Therapy, (C-IAYT)
You may schedule appointments for Yoga Therapy by emailing the provider directly. (see instructor page for email)
Since 2012, UW/WSU Medical Schools have partnered with South Perry Yoga as a non-clinical selective opportunity for
1st & 2nd year medical students. This partnership serves to support further understanding of yoga and meditation as personal wellness strategies and therapeutic modalities. Inquiries regarding CEU-supported medical conference presentations and corporate wellness programs are welcome.
From our community
In love with this studio! Amazing atmosphere, great teachers, and wonderful classes. Sunday morning flow is essential for me and I loved my Thai yoga therapy session with Shawn. Would recommend this place to anyone and everyone!
-Amanda
As a new student who is VERY much a beginner, I have really enjoyed these classes. The instructors are really sweet and take the time to work with me where I am at instead of pressuring me to keep up with the class.
-Paul
I have had classes with four instructors Sandy, Shawn, Jutta, and Nina, and have enjoyed every one! Such a gentle, positive environment! I feel so good after class. Hooked.
-Bonnie
breathing balance into life
Breathe, be well, and may you abide joyfully.

Our studio is a comfortable 70-72F~, powered by Solar Energy for heating and cooling.
Please arrive 10 minutes early, with a 'not-so-full stomach' and an open, curious mind. We ask that you complete a brief, confidential waiver to help your teachers guide pose modifications with regard to specific health concerns.
If you are running late, we respectfully ask that you wait in the entry until we have finished our opening meditation.
