My name is Erin, and over the winter I went to a bunch of classes taught by Heidi & Lisa (Wednesdays @4 - we always talked about tele skiing!).  I’ve moved out of town, to Waitsfield, VT, so I haven’t been making it to class anymore.  But I wanted to have the chance to say how much I loved your studio, and your classes.  They were always fun, laid-back, and challenging!  Plus, the winter was financially difficult for me, and the donation-only studio made it possible to keep yoga in my life.  So, thanks Lisa and thanks Yogave!  Keep up the good work and I hope to come back to classes whenever I visit Portland!

I took the best yoga class with Michael today. It was just what my body needed after the long ride in NH yesterday. I’m so glad I went. The guitar along with the sound of pouring rain outside was perfect for savasana. I wish I didn’t have to work so much so I could take more of his class!!

I love Yogave!

I’m so glad i was introduced to yoga at yogave! You guys are so nice and welcoming, my fears were easily and quickly put away. Yoga is turning out to be just what i’ve been looking for. Since finding yoga, I’ve been looking around online to see what’s out there for other studios. My first impression is that “I could not afford/experience yoga were it not for yogave’s donation setup! I’m so glad you guys exist close to me :)” (the only reason I’m looking around for other places is to find more class times available, so i really hope that as you guys become more popular, you’ll be able to expand. But even so, I‘m able to come at least 3 times a week which is fine for me right now :) also, you guys just seem cooler and more laid back than other places. i truly appreciate this studio, and i hope you never change but only improve the greatness that you are :) yogave is a gem!

Who would have thought that in discovering Yogave, I would discover myself?!  Taking yoga has really been somewhat life changing for me.  Bringing my awareness to my mind and body has helped make some amazing changes in me both physically and mentally.  I have tried yoga at my gym in the past, but it was more of a fitness class.  The atmosphere at Yogave is very positive, peaceful, and nonjudgemental.  I really don’t think I would have been able to go to yoga 4 times per week and feel it’s effects if I had to pay $15 per class and sign up for a bunch of weeks.  It helps me go on my own schedule, but I have to say, I just love going and can’t seem to get there enough!  It has also been great to be able to try the different styles of yoga in the different classes too.  The instructors have been great and I am meeting so many great people in the classes.  Even though I live in South Portland, Yogave is very easy to get to and I there is plenty of parking.  There is just so much to love about this place!

It is especially helpful for busy people to have an available yoga class “whenever” that doesn’t lock into a schedule. I have attended Michael’s noontime classes and met different students each time, who were on noon hours and/or checking out the new studio and instructors, etc. The pay-as-you-go is also brilliant! What’s not to like??  Convenient and comfortable surroundings…peaceful and serene setting…easy parking…it doesn’t get any better than this.
