You can do snake yoga in Portland - add this to your top things to do in Portland bucket list. 🐍🧘

Multiple instructors lead yoga flows inside the shop, and during the session HISSS staff members bring out snakes, bearded dragons, turtles, and even an iguana (Diamond is a star) to gently interact with participants. 

The fantastic yoga instructors you’ll see at HISSS include @katyfayyoga, @lillianmayabeck (featured in this video), @becalmwithgrace, and @aliciaealicia. Snake Yoga sessions range from $20-$35.

This was just one of several visits we recently made to the shop. 

The first Sunday of each month, HISSS hosts adoption events with @restingrockreptilerescue and Oregon Reptile Views. And if noone takes home Bungee soon, I imagine she’s going to come home with me. 

This is another great local shop that hosts a variety of community events. You can learn more about their offerings at the link in bio. There’s a Sip and Paint event on the horizon on April 25. 

HISSS Reptile Shop also features a big unmissable mural by @theobanoth. AND if you visit the shop at the right time you may just bump into the neighborhood peacocks.
