I love the Hustle and Flow studio! I’ve been going for almost a year now, so I’ve tried a wide variety of the classes they have to offer. All of the classes have experienced, professional, and friendly instructors leading them! You will truly feel welcome as plenty of regulars also embrace the studio’s mission of inclusivity! Working out always comes easier when you’re having fun and this studio leaves me sweaty and smiling every time!

My sisters, mother, and scheduled a private group pole fitness class while visiting Portland for my mom’s “bachelorette” weekend. It was the highlight of the trip! So much fun. Our instructor, Heather, was excellent and made us all feel at ease. The studio has awesome vibes and is in a great location. Furthermore, I left some jewelry behind and Stephanie mailed them back home to MA the next day. Would highly recommend!

Stumbled upon this gem on a vacation to Portland and had a blast at Studio Tramp Stamp. Welcoming studio, great price for a drop-in, and awesome rainy day activity/workout! Loved Sam and her playlist!

There arent enough stars to give or superlatives to lavish upon this special studio. Its an open, friendly, easy-going community of people (both teachers and students) who care a lot about what theyre doing and put heart and soul into it, but dont take themselves too seriously. Starting dance classes as an adult was an intimidating prospect, but not after I walked into Hustle and Flow. Right away I knew this was my place when we laughed as much as we danced and learned. Its really special. Whether youre looking for dance or any other kind of movement class they offer, you should give it a shot.

In my first class a couple years ago I felt a little silly doing the workouts/moves and realized that I wasn’t comfortable in my own body. The openness and acceptance of H&F has helped me so much with appreciating my physical self and all the things it can do as well as knowing no one is judging. Highly recommend this place for a good workout and also for an awesome community!

This is a comfortable, inclusive studio to shake it, stretch, dance, and meet new amazing people. I always feel energized after a class! Theres a class for everyone, various dance and yoga and movement classes. The owner and instructors are friendly, knowledgeable and fun.

My all time favorite place in Portland! Ive never been anywhere with such a wide variety of classes, teachers, and students. Being new to dance as an adult is scary, but everyone at Hustle and Flow welcomed me right in. This place is perfect no matter what level of movement you are at. Perfect for beginners and experts! They have so many different dance, exercise and movement classes. A lot of something for everyone!Competitive prices, beautiful space, and an amazing staff.

If youre looking to take a dance or workout class in Portland, you need to check out this place. But its also so much more than that. As a Portland transplant, I was just looking for a place to dance. My first time at H&F I was nervous, but right when I stepped in to the warm and inviting studio, everyone made me feel so welcome. H&F has really made Portland feel like home. Highly recommend all the dance classes, whether youre completely new to dance or more experienced. Also Sunday nights body rolling with Stacie...your body will thank you!Hands down, you need to check this place out. Its seriously the best.

Hustle and Flow classes are literally the most fun you can have while working out. Amazing instructors, great play lists, and a community that immediately makes you feel welcome. The workouts are challenging and I definitely leave sweaty, but somehow manage to keep a smile on my face the whole time. I really love this studio!

I cannot say enough about this amazing space and the phenomenal owner and instructors. These women are #goals!! It’s a one-stop-shop for everything a woman needs - cardio, strengthening, flexibility, self-exploration, self-expression, friend-making and soul-healing. I feel so incredibly inspired and driven with each and every class I take. Truly irreplaceable ♥️

Hustle and flow has become like a second family over the past few years. The people, the energy, and the enthusiasm brought to every class has made this my favorite place to get my sweat on in Portland! All of the instructors love what they do and it shows and I would highly recommend those in the area to go check it out. All experience and fitness levels are welcomed with open arms!

Don’t cancel the pole class within FIVE hours with a legitimate excuse, make sure to cancel within SIX hours even if it’s 7 in the morning or you will get your money taken. Looks like a great studio although poor business structure on that part.

This is my all time favorite business in Portland, my home away from home, and the most inclusive, fun, feel-good, sexy work out you could ask for. Get there, you won’t regret it!

We had the best time at Hustle and Flow for my sister’s bachelorette party! We did an amazing yoga class (followed by mimosas) with Liz who was a great instructor and gave us a perfect recommendation for continuing our party that night! I wish I lived closer because I would take classes there regularly- they all look awesome!

We had a bachelorette dance party up at Hustle and Flow and oh my gosh what a blast! We had women of all fitness levels and two pregnancies and Hustle and Flow accommodated us perfectly. Also as a fitness instructor, I highly recommend them for fun or for a lifestyle!!

I love this studio and community!! I moved to Portland and was looking for a way to meet people and get a little more fitness in my life, and oh my goodness did Hustle and Flow deliver!!! Everyone was super friendly from the start and the classes are so physically and creatively fulfilling. I highly recommend the beginner special where you can try all different kinds of classes to decide what you like!I ended up becoming obsessed with the beat drop, hustle heels, and hustle feels classes! Steph and Alyx are incredible choreographers who make learning dance so easy and fun. They also make it super comfortable for any level, because you don’t have to be “perfect.” As long as you feel good doing it, you are doing it right 🙌Also, the whole class is on your side! Get ready for lots of cheering and woo-ing along with the other dancers. I definitely recommend starting at the first week of the month so you can learn that month’s dance fresh with everyone. They go over it every week, but you’ll be shocked by how much your body remembers by week 2!If you’ve been thinking about it, give Hustle and Flow a try! We have the most fun 🥳✨

It’s hard to describe all of the ways that going to this studio has moved my life in positive directions. I began coming here a year and half ago looking for a different way to get a full body workout. Buti is not only an amazing work out but has transformed the way I live in my body each moment with more presence and more confidence. The yoga classes and dance classes are also amazing ways to connect with my body and with the community at the studio. This is an amazing space and welcoming community with extremely knowledgeable and helpful instructors. All of that being said, it’s also just a really good time.

I am completely addicted to Buti Yoga! Im so grateful for this warm, welcoming, uplifting community of women (and a few great men) to practice something Ive fallen so deeply in love with. Everyone is welcoming, the classes are challenging and incredibly fun, and Im so grateful to have access to this incredible resource just down the street. Thank you for making it so fun and pleasurable to stay in shape!

Before Hustle and Flow, I was never very consistent or committed to my exercise practice. Id stick with something for a season and then it would taper off. These classes, like their instructors, are unique and creative and the right level of challenging. The environment feels safe and welcoming. A variety of offerings allows you to stick with the safe and familiar, or get out of your comfort zone and try something new. Ive been coming to classes regularly for over a year now, and the impact on my body and mind is enormously positive.

Hustle and Flow was one of my absolute FAVORITE things about living in Portland. We had to move to a new city and I have yet to find another workout that is even a fraction as good or as much fun. Steph and Carla have created a community unlike any other and I knew that every time I went to a class at Hustle and Flow that I would get my booty kicked but leave in a great mental place, no matter what else had gone on in my day. Anyone in the Portland area should check out this incredible gem!

I’ve been attending classes a couple times a week for a couple months now at Hustle and Flow, and I can definitely say it’s been the best experience I’ve had after trying several other yoga studios in Portland (and there are some good studios in town) I’ve mostly taken classes with Melissa, Kara, and Caroline, and I’ve really enjoyed the energy and experience each offers. I still feel like I’m a beginner, but I’ve always felt welcome and never felt intimidated no matter who’s class I attend, and I feel great after every class.Plus, I’m seeing the benefits of my increased participation. I play basketball and baseball regularly and I’ve noticed a significant improvement in my speed and athleticism since I started practicing yoga +2 times a week, and I experience less soreness and quicker recovery as well!I’m so happy I found Hustle and Flow, and I hope others will have the same experience!!

Bkakti in Motion has a variety of dynamic classes run by inspirational, independent instructors. The large studio room is a versatile community space with hardwood floors and a spiritual, rustic vibe. For yoga classes there are mats and accessories available for use. The social atmosphere is friendly and welcoming, yet down to earth and respectful. The location on Brackett Street is ideal for the West End neighborhood and theres easy parking, especially in the evening and on weekends.

Hustle & Flow is soooo much more than a yoga studio. There are a variety of classes from high energy hip hop dance to buti yoga with body rolling. With fabulous instructors & music, you will never get bored with your workout routine... plus its a really fun place to bring friends;)

Review №35

Ive been lucky to call H&F my second living room for over two years now and Im pretty confident in saying it has changed me body and soul. I was no stranger to a good sweat before, but these classes have culled out a strength in my body I wouldnt have known I could possess before. Sweat, wet and going like a turbo jet is what you get and thats not even delving into the endorphin strut you take out with you, empowering every aspect of yourself, and literally everything you do. If you want an incredible workout that is also super fun with complete inclusion (read; ZERO yoga ego) and non-judgement, this is your place. Every time I leave its with, some miraculous how, a different and new appreciation for the people who make this place so special and exciting, the fun of the class itself and for the heights my body and spirit reach derivative of being here. Namastizzle!!

Hustle and Flow is a very special community, housed in a very special place, and going there has had a huge impact on me. I have been attending classes and events through H+F for a year, and I am not being hyperbolic when I say that it has changed my life for the better in ways I never expected. Im stronger, more flexible and more physically capable of all kinds of movement than Ive been in years - at 40, Im in better shape than I was for most of my 30s. I love taking the Buti, Abs and Assana, Hustlercize and Yang Bang classes, they are totally brutal and totally fun at the same time. What was unexpected was the mental and emotional effects of showing up to H+F - this kind of workout does wonders for alleviating depression and anxiety, and having this community of powerful, interesting and supportive women is comforting and empowering. I just *feel* better. Steph, Carla and the rest of the leaders at H+F are very body-positive, but in a way that does not feel contrived or forced on you. And of course, its just fun as hell to move around to crazy loud music, no matter what. This studio is all about honoring both the light and dark - and every shade in between - of your inner spirit, and instead of a bunch of rhetoric about being our best selves or living our best lives, its just more about being authentic and moving and laughing and enjoying your body, drawing the hidden forces from deep within to guide us in our daily lives.

I took tap, jazz and clogging for years as a kid, but stopped once I reached middle school.For the past ten years I have mostly remained seated. I’ve been sitting on the couch watching movies or shows, and sitting in a computer chair working on producing music and discovering new music to enjoy. Music is my passion!The only exercise I have received in these past ten years has come from working in the automotive industry and food industry, and has consisted mostly of heavy lifting, walking, and running up and down stairs.My whole body had begun cramping up and experiencing increasing random pains daily. I decided it was time to change my health status, and being 31 years old, I knew I couldn’t afford to sit around for another ten years.I began my journey into Buti Yoga by searching online for a hip hop style dance class. I knew I found the pace and style of movement I was looking for after seeing the promo video for Hustle and Flow’s studio, which featured the type of high energy music I am motivated by. I figured that while dancing to music that energizes and motivates me I would not only learn some dance moves but would also get a good exercise! I bought the 10 class pass and made my best effort to attend all 10 classes offered with the pass. Some days I even tried two classes! However, from the very first class I attended, I knew I was moving in the right direction.Nearly two months later and I’m hooked. I’ve finally found something I enjoy that pushes and challenges me!I now have an increased interest in dance and a growing interest in basic yoga; and in health, fitness and overall wellness. I’m drinking straight water now, eating smarter, and focusing on removing toxic elements from my body and environment.I am also able to discover new music while in class!The instructors at Hustle and Flow are vibrant, inspiring and welcoming. Each has a unique take on Buti, and each has excellent taste in music that is played in class. Through Buti yoga I have discovered a deeper connection to the music that I listen to and have discovered a love for dance and yoga style workouts.I can only imagine a studio better than Hustle and Flow that I could attend because there isn’t one.Thank you Hustle and Flow!

I could write a book about how much I love this studio, but Ill try to keep this review as short as I can! I recently moved to Portland, ME, and I was introduced to Hustle and Flow (formerly Bhakti in Motion) by a friend. From the very first class, I knew I had found a real gem of a studio. The space itself is open, earthy, and filled with light, and the West End location is really convenient. However, what really keeps me coming back again and again are the amazing instructors and variety of classes. Hustle and Flow has yoga, buti yoga, and dance classes, which is perfect because I can get strength, stretching, and a more meditative focus in the yoga classes, and lots of butt-kicking cardio and all-out fun with the buti and dance classes. Being able to do so many different workouts each week in one location (and one monthly pass) is really wonderful during the Maine winters when Im not so motivated to work out outside!I really cannot say enough about the instructors. I had taken yoga classes here and there over the years, but Id never had a regular practice and Id never even heard of buti before finding Hustle and Flow. The instructors are so open, welcoming, and knowledgeable that I actually want to work out, and I now I go to class--Willingly! With a smile on my face!--about five or six times a week. The instructors always offer modifications for those who are newer to the practice, but they arent afraid to push students into harder poses or make us sweat in buti when they think were ready. Its apparent that they love what they do and where they work, and because of their great attitude, Hustle and Flow doesnt have the elitist, competitive air that some yoga studios take on. My fellow students are encouraging and motivating, and I always feel like Im part of a community in every class.Some yoga studios take themselves so seriously you never feel like youre getting a good workout because youre too much in your own head, wondering if youre meditating and breathing the right way. Other studios dont take themselves seriously enough so you completely lose the spiritual and meditative aspects of yoga. I dont know how they do it, but as different as all their instructors are, the thread that runs through every class is the mind-body connection and the perfect balance of work and play. Im not surprised if I laugh, shake my booty, do pushups in full lotus pose, practice breath work, get encouraged to go into crow pose, listen to Beyonce or to one of Patanjalis Yoga Sutras, and meditate deeply-- and maybe all in the same class!Ill end with this shallow yet ridiculously motivating observation: My body and my booty have never looked better! I know that self-confidence comes from the inside out, but I dont mind one bit that Hustle and Flow has given me a self-esteem boost that comes from the outside in! Thank you!
