Awesome class! My partner and I just finished the ASA 101 class, and the teacher, Errol, was very…read morepatient with her, and very knowledgeable and thorough. Both the classroom portion and the sailing part were thorough and safe. He was patient and funny and that helped her overcome her fears. The owner, Robin, is kind and helpful. Everyone who was there at their sailing club was nice and also seemed like a lot of fun! No snobby sailing club here! We wanted to stay to crew the Wednesday night race with them, but had to get home. Next time! Definitely a 5 Star school. We can't stop talking about it, and are already planning to take the next classes! Thank you, Robin and Errol, for an awesome experience! You have converted two new sailors!

An outstanding school to learn how to sail!…read more I had always dreamed of learning to sail but it took effort to find the time, commitment and a place where I could learn. Finally took the ASA 101 5 day keel boat sailing class here and it was hard, intense but absolutely tremendous: long story short, a few weeks later I joined a community boating program back home, passed the sailing test there in a jiffy and then took out a sailboat by myself, spending 4 amazing hours sailing along Spot Pond in Melrose, MA. I've tried a few sailing classes before this one but they were too short, not thorough enough and there's no way I could have taken a boat out alone after those. International Sailing School was the only one that worked. For that I have to thank my instructors Allen and Francis for their patience and for getting the points across to me. One word of caution if you plan to take this class: there are lots of places that will take you on sailboat rides around gorgeous Lake Champlain but this isn't one of them. It's a real class and you'll need to study and come well prepared before your very first class. Robin will mail you the "Sailing Made Easy" book before the class. Learn the terms very well because you won't have time to think twice on the water when your instructor tells you to head up, pull in the main sheet and go close hauled. Also look carefully at the points of sail, practice figuring out where the wind is blowing from and rehearse the movements you'll need to make when tacking or gybing. This was really an amazing place to learn to sail and I couldn't be happier at my luck in finding International Sailing School.

I was really glad they allowed my daughter to attend a few classes before making me commit to the…read morelong session. They were very welcoming of her and made her feel at ease even though she was a little apprehensive about starting at a new place. They were even able to supply her with some lender tap shoes on her first visit because I didn't realize she would need them. The viewing quarters are a little cramped and so far that is my only complaint. I can't even really call that a complaint because there have been empty chairs and I've had a good view of class. I'm a fan of the place as long as my daughter is a fan of the place and so far, she really likes her dance class.

I began taking tap dance class here last fall and cannot speak highly enough of my experience…read more Spotlight is such a welcoming and friendly studio to all levels and ages (including adult beginners). Our teachers facilitate a terrific sense of camaraderie and are excellent at tailoring learning based on skill and experience level. Being part of this studio and class has enriched my life so much this year. If you are considering taking a class, you will not regret it! I wish I had started dancing sooner. I highly recommend!

Wherever I am, I try to stop into local yarn stores…read more Happened to be headed to Burlington Vermont and noticed this place listed on my "Great Northern Yarn Haul" map. Must Love Yarn is a big open space, with lots to look at. In the front of the store there is an excellent selection of yarns, often with knitted samples. There was also an excellent section of accessories, including pewter sweater pins that were small works of art. While browsing, I also noticed a big open space in the back with a circle of comfortable chairs for hosting knitting and fiber gatherings! The woman working the store could not have been nicer!

Food is moderately expensive but delicious and farm fresh, the cook Heidi rocks. The courses are around $700/week and move very slowly, with a large range of people all wanting different things. The property has a lot of junk on it and many of the buildings are half finished. So while the website depicts the school as an ambassador for green design, when you get there it is more of a hippie (for lack of a better word) center for building. If you're looking for something laid back and have the money to spend, it is a good time.

Yestermorrow is a great learning environment and mind-expanding atmosphere…read more I have attended three courses: from hands-on tools, to design & prefabrication, to business oriented. All three were a great source for knowledge and somehow life changing. The instructors practice what they teach on a daily basis and there seems to be no limit to what one can learn from them. The accommodations are very appropriate for the school size, courses, and crowd it gathers. My bunk bed was, twice, a smart choice, that gave me the chance to interact during and after dinner with different people. The food is super healthy, and delicious. I'm not vegan or that stuff, and I always had seconds. In case of going on a scheduled field trip, master chef Heidi will make sure you get a great lunch and even snacks. The staff are the most laid back, friendly, yet professional people. Classes and tours follow an appropriate schedule, and they adjust to follow to people with different backgrounds. I am a registered architect with over 20 years of experience, and I always felt the pace to be very comfortable. I look forward to my upcoming eight-day certification course!

I can't say enough good things about the team at Evolution…read more Prenatal yoga was so much fun during pregnancy. Being part of a community of other expecting women was really wonderful and supportive! It was also a great way to relax, stretch & exercise. I always looked forward to sharing my status with the group & hearing others before we practiced yoga. Susan is the very best!! Lucky me, I also got to take advantage of Evolution's massage therapy offering a couple times with Annemarie Altadonna. Wow! Her prenatal massages are outstanding - don't hesitate to book one! Take advantage of that "pregnancy card"!! Huge thank you to Jessica & Evolution for the terrific birthing class we attended to prepare for our first baby. The labor comfort & coping techniques, hospital tour, birth beliefs and postpartum education (and so much more) was so helpful on our big day! I'd also like to give a big shout out to Sally MacFadyen and her breastfeeding class hosted at Evolution. Sally is no joke, a boob and baby whisperer! Having her come visit us postpartum was extremely helpful as well. Highly recommend taking her class & following up with her once you're home with your new baby. Looking forward to their new addition in Essex and to try out some new parent groups & postnatal yoga/strengthening classes!

Thoughts from my wife:…read more I want to share how grateful I am for the community and space that Susan at Evolution has created. There is so much power in the practice that they offer, and I am overjoyed to be a part of it in so many ways. I really felt the impact during labor, and am just so thankful. Really exited to return to practice with our babe! Thoughts from me: Birth classes were an essential part of our preparation for our first child. I found Susan's teaching-style to be effective, easy-to-follow, and kind. I had zero prior experience with babies, so it was very important for me to get early exposure to the tools and techniques for taking care of an infant. Thanks Susan for helping us get started!
