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!

Everything about the studio is a "10". Owner Jan took our call the night before and from the start…read moreshe was very welcoming and eager to have us join class in the morning with Evelyn. Students in the parking lot, Evelyn at the desk everyone made us feel at home. Class was straight up rock solid bikram 26/2!

The studio provides blocks, mats, blankets and more. It's in a great downtown trendy location and is pretty easy to get to. The owner who is also a teacher there (Caroline) is so accommodating and nice! You can tell that she truly loves what she does and it's so great to see someone pour their heart and soul into their business. I would recommend this place to anyone (experienced or new to Yoga) who is looking for a great studio!

What gets me through the beginning-of-the-week-blues is Candlelight Flow on Tuesday nights. That,…read moreand Happy Hour Flow on Friday evenings. Oh, and 8am Vinyasa Flow on Saturday mornings. The studio is on the second floor of this old brick building in the trendy part of downtown Haverhill, where parking is ample either on the street or in the back parking lot ($.50/hr during the weekday, free after 8pm and on weekends). There's a really cute lobby area where you can leave your stuff on the benches. There's also a small curtained-off changing area. This might be weird to say, but I was also impressed by how clean and tastefully decorated the bathrooms are. But of course, the most important room is the yoga room, in which the positive and relaxing energy is almost palpable. High ceilings, dark wooden exposed beams, mustard yellow walls, and tall windows that look out onto the Merrimack River. This room beats any dingy gym I have ever taken a yoga class in. There are a ton of classes to choose from throughout the week, and the business operations of this studio run as smooth as butter. Just reserve a spot for a class online and then show up. There are a bunch of different payment and class bundle options available too. The owner, Caroline Giles is so incredibly friendly and encouraging. I also love how there are different classes for all levels of fitness and experience. I just wish classes weren't so pricey, although I think the $10/class cost is pretty average for places around here. I got a LivingSocial deal for 30 classes for $30 and it was the best 3-month break from the gym I have ever taken.

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 went back the next day on Sunday for the 10am vinyasa flow. It was exactly what I needed! Rianna was very friendly.

She gave options for more challenging options in some poses, which I welcomed. I look forward to going back!!

I'm restarting an work out program after a few years away from conditioning. The staff, particularly my trainer, Mike Pisani, has been very understanding of where I am in the process and has adjusted my program accordingly.

He answers questions thoroughly and is never condensending in his room explanations and answers. Whether you are new to training, returning to conditioning or super-experienced you'll find a supportive, non-judgemental atmosphere at Seacoast Strength.
