After our go-to yoga studio in Portland, Maine, recently closed, my wife and I found ourselves a…read morebit untethered. We decided to turn it into an adventure and have spent the last few months traveling all over New England trying out different studios. Out of everywhere we've been, Metta Yoga stands out. We took a wonderful afternoon class with the owner, Jan, and were so impressed. The space is immaculately clean, the staff and fellow yogis are incredibly welcoming, and the studio has this effortlessly cool, beachy vibe that immediately puts you at ease. It's the kind of community and environment we were looking for. We will absolutely be back!

I am coming up on a year of my sister's passing. She was an Army Veteran and had just turned 31…read more She had her whole life ahead of her and was my best friend . When she passed unexpectedly my whole world flipped upside down. My heart has been broken and certainly will never be the same . I cannot explain the amount of support and healing I have received from this establishment . On the day my sister's headstone came, I plugged my GPS in to head towards the local TJ MAXX for some retail therapy . Instead the GPS brought me to Windsoul. I thought this was pretty cool considering I had spent the night before googling yoga studios to check out. I was sleepless in knowing the next day I was going to see my sister's headstone with the last name ORTIZ on it ... yet for some reason I did not see Windsoul during my google search of local studios... yet there I was :). Gail greeted me with warmth and a genuine purpose to help me with what I needed . She assured me that I was in the right place . That Monday I started my first class with StaceyLynn whom I adore . She has a very upbeat personality and contagious energy. I started to join more classes and learn more about each instructor's style as well as personality , both of which reflect their practice . Gail is organized and intelligent . StaceyLynn is as well, but offers a certain level of spunk . I love Tuesday classes with Julie as well . The team members each offer something special . During this last year I became a certified yoga teacher to strengthen my own practice and utilize as a healing technique for when I work with veterans as a nurse someday (I am currently in school for nursing). I was inspired, aided and welcomed by this warm and loving family . I would not have started my yoga journey without the hospitality and inspiration from these women . During the summer time, Windsoul donated all proceeds from their community classes to Veterans Advocacy Services , a non-profit dedicated to provide veterans with assistance according to their specific needs . I recommend Windsoul . It is not just a yoga studio . It is a center for healing and inspiration .

The studio is a bit small, but the decor is great and mats are free. It's a great location though. My sister and I went to a yoga basics class taught by Sarah. I loved the class, but I didn't consider it yoga basics. We weren't looking for that--we went because of timing--but if someone was, it might not be the right choice. Sarah was great though and I appreciate her knowledge and instruction. I really look forward to going back when in the area.

I am relatively new to meditation and I thought I'd take a course/session at this center. It's the…read morefirst time I meditated with a group. The retreat/session I went to was called "Waking up to your Life". It was 2.5 hours long and cost $37. It was for beginners and newer students. The setting is beautiful and the people are really nice. We touched upon some powerful meditation methods such as walking meditation and the body scan. However, I think these things really require a much more in-depth approach. I felt we went through them kind of quickly and it was difficult to grasp the meaning and effectiveness of the exercises. If you ever have a chance you might want to read and listen to Jon Kabat-Zinn's "Living the Full Catastrophe". He goes into these practices with considerable detail. One thing I think is really important to mention is that if you are an absolute beginner I don't think this beginner course is right for you. We meditated silently for a considerable amount of time on a couple of occasions and I think this would be very frustrating for someone new. As a beginner I didn't leave the Insight Meditation Center session with an idea on how I could successfully create and maintain a meditation practice. There were no handouts and, although we were told there would be a Q&A session at the end of our meeting, there wasn't time for the class to ask any questions. It is such a nice center and the people were very pleasant. I may visit the website again to check for other offerings.

I want to say the instructors I had was Crystal, and Andrew. Both instructors were very patient and helpful. I definitly had fun in those classes. If I'm ever back in town I would visit this studio again.

I can't recommend The Crossover enough! Nadia and David are two of the most motivating,…read moreknowledgeable, and genuinely caring coaches I've had the opportunity to train with. I trained with both of them weekly for a long time, and they each bring something special to their coaching. Nadia is an amazing yoga instructor. Her classes are the perfect balance of challenging and motivating while still being compassionate and encouraging. She has a way of pushing you while also making you feel supported throughout the entire class. David brings incredible energy to everything he teaches. Whether it's CrossFit, strength training, or even a yoga flow, he is upbeat, intense in the best way, and always encourages you to work hard and give your best effort. It's so exciting to see Nadia and David take everything they've built as coaches and open a brand-new gym of their own. They truly care about the people they work with and the community they create. If you're looking for a place that will challenge you, support you, and make you excited to show up, I highly recommend The Crossover!

They are located in an old mill building in Dracut and the old mill charm is evident throughout the shop and studio. In addition to candle making classes they offer yoga, meditation, charts and other experiences. Upon arriving I was greeted warmly by the owner, who shared a little about her shop. While waiting for my friends (and the class to start) I was able to browse the various products available for sale. The class was held in the studio portion of the shop and was a lot of fun. As a participant you are encouraged to bring your own drinks, but they supply some of their teas. I unfortunately can't remember the name of the tea I tried but it was delicious! I look forward to going back to try some of the other events soon. If you are into crystals and metaphysics I encourage you to check out the shop! So many cool items to choose from!
