About
AT NORTH RAY, WE CREATE A SPACE FOR HUMANS TO RECONNECT WITH THEIR BODIES, THEIR BREATH, AND EACH OTHER.
Through grounded, strong, sweaty, and accessible hot yoga and pilates classes, we offer moments of intensity and stillness, where we explore the edges of challenge and the light of self-discovery. Our goal is not perfection, but presence - and to offer a place where you can show up exactly as you are, again and again.
Why North Ray?
It all comes back to the light. The skylights in our studios have quietly witnessed over 14 years of practice, breath, challenging and hopeful moments. In savasana, those beams of light have offered comfort, clarity, and peace. North is a compass point, a sense of direction. Ray is the light itself, the reminder that even in challenging moments, there’s a way through. It’s how the light gets in.
We come together to explore the edges of intensity - those moments where we want to fight, to run, to disappear - the edges where we practice finding our way back to our bodies through our breath. It is in those moments, at the edge, where we give ourselves permission to soften, to feel the light again.
North Ray Core Values
(The things we live by - on and off the mat)
Presence over Perfection
We show up with presence and heart. We own and embrace the fumbles along the way.
Collective over Spotlight
A community built on connection, where we grow side by side and lift each other up.
Always Learning
We invest in ongoing teacher development so every class is rooted in care, skill, depth, and authenticity.
Sweat and Rest
We believe in both effort and ease. Our classes move you, challenge you, and will also always offer space to breathe, reset, and come home to yourself.
Student First
We are students first, because it makes us better humans and better guides.
Come as you Are
We are welcoming, neutral spaces where everyone is invited to show up exactly as they are.
Action over Words
When we take a stand, it's because it aligns with our values and we're ready to back it with real action, especially when it comes to people and the planet.
Depth & Lightness
Our classes are grounded, challenging, as well as accessible - balanced with nervous system care, humor, and heart.
Humble, human teachers
Our teachers are forever students - curious, down-to-earth, and committed to both tradition and being their wonderfully, quirky selves.
Space to heal and belong
This is more than movement - it is connection, repair, and community. You’ll feel it in savasana while looking up at those tall ceilings and skylights - it is a place to feel safe and supported.
