The atmosphere, instruction style and fellow participants have been fantastic. I started taking classes as a complete novice. I felt accepted and engaged while at the same time, I was happily "in the background" at my pace. The instruction style was completely inclusive, tailored to one's level and gently encouraging... when you want to do "a little bit more". I've made tremendous gains in the past months. My strength, balance and flexibility have never at this level simultaneously. I've had no pain or injuries. People tell me I'm more calm and alert (and I no longer need high blood pressure meds!). There's a wonderful variety of instructors and class types & levels. They're experts and have a dedication to yoga that's infectious. I always look forward to class. YOY has been an unexpected community of kind, talented and thoughtful people, I'm so very happy to practice yoga with them.

Yoga East brings excellent workshops, yoga celebs and programs to Portsmouth. And it's not about ego. Seems perfectly genuine, like Yoga East simply wants to build a dynamic yoga community and practice, practice, practice. Only trouble is finding the studio entrance... it's very - er - subtle.

Finding the entrance is a journey with mystery. Fitting, isn't it.

Blaze does an amazing job blending strength training, cardio, core work, yoga, and mobility/stretch classes so every workout feels different and well-balanced. It keeps things fun while also helping you build real strength and flexibility. The instructors are knowledgeable, encouraging, and clearly passionate about what they do.

We drove from Vermont to Eliot, Maine and it was a beautiful and relaxing car ride with fun…read moreanticipation and lots of music. When we arrived and we were driving down Shiloh Farms driveway, Amylyn was waving us in and it was just a wonderful welcome to a fun farm experience! Jonas came out to welcome us and they both asked if we wanted to meet their dog Shasta...they explained she's big but friendly. She was; and so happy and silly, we even got her to roll over. This farm feels well protected with this beautiful girl manning the farm. In any event they showed us around and everything is so well designed and everywhere you walk there is art. I love farm swings as I remember them at my grandparents farm and one of their swings fit both of us and we had a blast swinging amongst the friendly chickens, singing and laughing. I just felt healthier amongst all the nature and beauty and had no idea how much the sounds of a farm would delight us. This was exactly the unique farm experience I was seeking for my kiddo. She chose a farm experience over amusement park experience or more beach time and here we couldn't get away from the animals, in a great way. Goats, chickens (so happy and fun), cats, and of course Shasta and friendly proprietors that went out of their way for my kiddo. We fully intended to use the fire pit but the first day we had been at the beach all day and conked out early. And the second night was rainy and we were tired from a lot of travel but we did have an excellent night sleep, listening to the rain. And with the yoga, I never inquired as we do some at home on YouTube and I'm awkward doing it and really we're here for the animals. We just got done running with the goats and collecting eggs from the chicken coop, all the while being educated in a kid friendly way about the animals, their food, the different species, and all about the different colored eggs. Fascinating. And BONUS, they shared/gave my daughter a little book about one of their goats, named Olaf that is about bullying and conquering it and a coloring book she spent a-lot of time on yesterday . I can't thank Amylyn and Jonas enough for providing such an interactive, relaxing, and fun time at a beautifully designed property that delights the eye with all the art (much created from trees and other resources on the property. Their love of animals, their farm, each other and what they do makes for a warm and loving experience. Their stories about the animals are so cool- their chickens don't get eaten, they live their full lives, and what happy and healthy chickens they are. Luna, the goat had a stroke a while back and they lovingly got her back in action after quite the recovery. Happy people doing what they love on this farm. We are lucky they love it so much they want to share it The location is AMAZING.. a couple miles from gorgeous beaches (that's definitely my thing so we got the best of both worlds here) Pics are on the way

They went above snd beyond to make sure all of our questions were answered, were quick to respond to any texts, and they made my partner and I feel so incredibly welcome! We stayed in The Den which was such a cozy little place. The whole space was very well thought out, bed was quite comfortable and there were even some fresh eggs waiting in the fridge for us! The cedar soaking tub they had was such a lovely addition and it was so great to use after a long full day. They also had an entire welcome binder outlining local restaurant, attractions, and other places of interest. The on-site yoga classes and farm store (with fresh muffins, baked bread and local crafts) were just the cherry on top!!! All of this doesn't even mention how incredibly convenient the location was, when we stepped out of our door, you wouldn't know that you were only a 15 or so minute drive from Portsmouth because it really was such a peaceful, calming place. All around if we have ANY reason to be staying in or around Portsmouth again, you can bet I won't be looking any further than Shilo Farm!!!

Run, don't walk to 3 bridges…read more After a few months of trying to find the "right" yoga studio in Portsmouth, I happened upon 3 Bridges. Practice is great, definitely a work out, but incredibly relaxing. Energy and light in space are amazing. No attitude, no unrealistic expectations. If instructor knows you are a beginner, they guide their instructions accordingly. Space is pristine, light, They have plenty of mats, towels, straps and blocks - also there's a fair amount of free parking which is a huge plus downtown. All instructors are great. Each bringing something different to a class. That's what keeps it interesting. You never know how things will start or what focus will be. Love this place. Separately, they also have lots of great value deals - like buy blank number of classes for blank number of $$$. I think I'm only paying $8.00 a class, which is half of what I'd pay in Boston.

I can't say enough positive about Barre and Soul! I am a seasonal resident of Portsmouth (May-Oct),…read moreso I was concerned about finding a strength training/fitness program for myself which was challenging but also sensitive to a chronic knee injury. From the first moment I walked through the door into the studio in 2018, I was warmly welcomed and cared for - each barre instructor I've had the pleasure of working with has asked me if I had injuries and has diligently watched my posture to ensure I didn't aggravate existing, or create new issues. The classes are a wonderful mix of intense strength training using light weights, bands and balls, combined with yoga stretches and breathing. Each instructor is very knowledgeable and well-trained, caring and personality-plus. The physical studio is in a lovely spot downtown and is open, light and airy - a perfect spot to push yourself physically while remaining centered and calm. I only wish I could find something even a fraction this great in my winter home. I highly recommend Barre and Soul.
