Seattle Aikikai

Know someone who needs a great space to move, teach, or gather?

Seattle Aikikai is looking for a few like-minded people and organizations to share our dojo spaces when we're not on the mat.

We have beautiful, dedicated movement spaces in Capitol Hill and Uptown, and we'd especially love to connect with teachers and groups whose work feels compatible with our community—martial arts, somatic practices, dance, movement, wellness, workshops, trainings, and other creative possibilities.

Both spaces have tatami-style mats, changing areas and WiFi, with different amenities and personalities. Our Uptown dojo has natural light and a mirrored wall; Capitol Hill has high ceilings, large storefront windows, a shower, and a kitchen area.

Spaces are available for ongoing weekly classes as well as occasional workshops, seminars and events.

And members: please help us spread the word! If you know an instructor, practitioner, small organization, or community group that might be a good fit, tag them or send this their way.

Good spaces are even better when they're shared with good people.

Keep training between classes...

Dojo fieldtrip to Vashon Island!

Bhumi & Leila are ready to try aikido Seattle Aikikai! 🐶🐺🥋🌈

Partner Yoga with Malory, Thursday August 6, 5-6 pm
Date night get away on Vashon Island! Just a short romantic ferry ride away. followed by concerts in the park: Reposado (Latin Funk Afro Soul)

Think of partner yoga as Aikido’s chill cousin. You still connect, balance, and move with another person—but instead of throws and pins, it’s stretches and laughs. It sharpens your sensitivity, timing, and trust while giving your body a good reset. Plus, it’s just fun. Bring a partner, dojo buddy or family friend and come check it out!
