Albert Trople Yoga Instructor, LMT

I searched for about 3 months to find a yoga instructor that I connected with. I was looking for someone who took the time to teach the correct way to do poses, who was physically challenging and that would help me solve my breathing issues. Albert hit on all three and after almost 3 years, not only am I breathing normally again, but I am stronger and more flexible than I was when I played College volleyball. Albert is challenging and is a great fit for all levels of experience. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him, but I will caution you on two fronts. Don't expect to win a discussion point, and he usually gets the last word! ;) more

Since starting yoga over 10 years ago, my regular practice has helped transform my body and has healed some past injuries. One of the best instructors I have found is Albert Trople. His instruction is directed towards using precise alignment so you don't hurt yourself. The 90-minute classes are a very efficient use of time to include weight bearing exercise, strength and flexibility. If you are new to yoga I would suggest starting with the Hatha class. Albert is attentive to newcomers and offers knowledgeable instruction to help you get the most out of your workout. The Vinyasa flow class steps up the pace - this is not your mamma's class; but there are some hot mammas who have integrated this class into their practice! If you don't know what sun salutations are YOU WILL LEARN THEM since every class is started with a full set, push ups included! The class atmosphere is usually light-hearted but the focus is always on the safe precision of your practice. The only advise I would give to Albert to improve his classes would be to get some new jokes! more

Albert is unique; you will get the best workout imaginable, and come away stronger, more flexible and lighter hearted every day. And probably you will laugh more than in any yoga class around. Classes are held at Euphoria Dance studio, on 12th and Division. Search euphoriastudios to see the schedule.

You won't find an instructor more committed to keeping you safe and to helping you heal. Don't miss the best yoga value in Portland. Pros: Diagsnotic and Remedial and a Whole Lot of Fun more

I've been studying yoga for 14 years and have tried dozens of teachers, none of whom compare to Albert. Through his instruction I finally understand yoga. My body changed dramatically within a few months of taking his classes regularly. I feel more at home in my body. Most importantly, I will never be injured in a yoga class again because Albert taught me to know what proper alignment feels like. If you want to be significantly stronger, more confident, more flexible, and have more energy, Albert is the teacher for you. Sometimes he pushes me farther than I think I can go, but he's always been right that I could do more. He'll keep your body safe while liberating your breath and serenity. more
