Yoga buddies in Portland.
Finding yoga buddies in Portland is rarely a matching problem. You already know four people who have said "send me the class next time" and never got sent the class. The fix is a repeating slot and one tap to join, not a new social network.
The short answer
Ask the two or three people in Portland who already practice or have said they want to try, then pick one repeating class near where the group already is. In Portland that usually means a studio around Pearl District or Alberta, close enough that nobody has to cross town after work. Post the class in amiqo so they tap in to join instead of renegotiating it every week.
How to practice together with friends in Portland.
1
Pick one studio and one class time
Choose a class in Portland you would attend anyway, at a time that survives a bad week. Early morning or straight after work tend to hold. Mid-afternoon rarely does.
2
Post the class, do not poll the chat
Put the class in amiqo. Friends tap in to join, you see who is coming, and the plan exists before anyone has to negotiate.
3
Rate the class afterwards
Your friends' real verdicts on studios and instructors in Portland are worth more than a five star average from strangers. Rate it in amiqo so the group knows where to go next week.
4
Keep the slot even on the quiet weeks
A standing class survives a week where only one person makes it. A one-off plan does not. Keep the slot, keep the group.

Is amiqo a way to meet new yoga people in Portland?
No. amiqo is built for the friends you already have in Portland. There is no discovery feed and no strangers. It exists so the people you already like end up on adjacent mats.
What if my friends are all different levels?
Pick an all-levels class and say so in the invite. Level mismatch ends more workout friendships than schedules do, and an all-levels room removes the excuse entirely. When the weather cooperates, Portland groups often move the same slot outdoors to Forest Park, which flattens the level gap even further.
Is amiqo free in Portland?
Yes. amiqo is free to download on iOS and Android.

Same idea, different activity. Whichever one your friends will actually turn up to is the right one.
