In this review I speak for the workshop that this establishment put in for runners. I look forward to checking out one of their regular classes during the work week. A chilly Saturday afternoon was perfect for stepping through this yoga studio's door. The lobby area was clean and well organized. Coat hooks and cubbies for belongings, curtained off changing stalls and benches for readying for practice, and items for sale for any level yogi. The woman running the workshop was friendly and remembered my name from the facebook event page. Oddly enough this was comforting to know that she wanted to put faces and names together. I had done all the paperwork and payment online so she invited me to settle in where I felt comfortable. I found my spot near a wall located near the exit (I don't like he feeling of being surrounded) and made myself comfortable. I listened to the many people that were chatting and milling about. All runners of course, of all levels. I have always found comfort and familiarity with this clan of people, being brought up in a family that all ran and a dad that did marathons. What a great way to keep connections open during the cold months as a runner. As people settled in and squished in, the yoga instructor introduced herself and encouraged questions during the two hour workshop. She stated it would not be very "zen" as this was a time to explore how to help each person with their running and stretching. Yoga began and it was pretty apparent by the grunts and questions that their were many non-yogis present, but all were and felt welcomed to share this experience. As a group we learned many stretches we didn't realize was important to running nor did I know they existed. I found the two hours to fly by due to how intriguing and new a lot of it was. I again will say I look forward to going to some of their regular classes and maybe another workshop. The woman running this workshop was very knowledgable about all that we did and would use many stretches as a time to educate us on the stretch and how it affects us. I only hesitate on the workshop due to the amount of people she let join this workshop. She capped it at 25 I believe and this room just was not meant for that many. Maybe 20? I did a few stretches half way due to having to squish up to the wall and having a lady's mat around 6 inches from mine. At one point when doing a floor stretch, her leg hovered over my shoulder while I was laying down. Too close for comfort I will say. read more

Freeport Yoga Company - Yoga Near Me - Freeport, Maine

See all

If I still lived in Maine, I would be a regular at this studio. I drop in whenever I am home visiting, and is has been a consistently great experience over the years. The studio is located near Bow Street Market in Freeport, with plenty of parking. There is an extensive schedule with plenty of class options to fit your needs, and the classes are clearly labelled with useful descriptions to help you choose the best fit for you. Terry the owner is an excellent instructor, and I always learn something new in her classes. Great queuing, plenty of modifications offered both up and down, and an all around great community vibe. She is also a runner and offers runner specific classes. Well worth the drive up from Portland, or down from the coast. Easily the best yoga studio I've found in Southern Maine. read more

I have loved every class I've participated in at Freeport Yoga Co, especially the yin and deep stretch classes. Yesterday I tried a standup paddle class and it was a religious experience for me. I'd never been on a paddle board before, so I was nervous, but the paddle over to the cove at beautiful Lanes Island got me more comfortable. Doing yoga in the open air, with the sounds of water trickling, birds feeding and even a visit from a friendly seal was powerful. I had a smile of my face most of the time. Today I am feeling muscles I haven't felt in a long time. Time for a class pass for me! read more

Hands down the best studio in Maine. Every class I take at this studio has a purpose. The instructors are experienced and the classes are consistently good. I've taken classes from almost all of the teachers and they each bring a unique touch to their class. FYC also provides top notch workshops from regional and local teachers regularly. I am so grateful for this studio for bringing my practice to another level! read more

I am so fortunate to have Terry come and teach a class at my company every Friday. She is a very teacher who caters her class to the students' need, which is, in my case, a lot of wrist strengthening, stretching, upper back and shoulder lengthening to correct the 8hr plus sitting in front of the computer. She is also an avid runner, so a lot of her favorite poses will prepare you well for forward movement (biking, running, etc.) Since that class is only 60 min, I make the trek to her Tuesday evening because that additional 15 min just brings the game to a new level. There are a lot of experienced yogis in her class (hello lady with abs!), but everyone is really focusing on themselves, and Terry is so intense yet so chilled, which makes the class something that I truly enjoy and look forward too. Just a warning, it's not easy! Her flow is so smooth that you don't realize you have tried so hard until you feel your shoulder/leg. Someone said this is the best studio in Maine. Dare I say, her studio is above 99% of studios that I have visited in New York City. read more

I've been practicing yoga for about 5 years now, and have been to all kinds of classes, here in Maine, in Boston and in California. Here's why Freeport Yoga is one of the best studios I have found: Because whenever I go there, I grow. I get better at a pose. Or become a little wiser, more confident, or more compassionate, and even a little more humble. The explanation for this is that Terry, the studio's owner, puts a lot of thought into her classes, which end up being a nice balance of guidance, life wisdom, work and humor--yep, in addition to being a great teacher, Terry is also very funny, which makes even hanging on to a precariously balanced half moon pose a joy. The classes are also varied, so it's not the same routine over and over, and Terry also invites requests at the beginning of each class--nice when you feel your body is telling you that you need to bend one way or another on any given day. Terry has also put together a lineup of fantastic teachers to complement Freeport Yoga's teaching resources, each bringing their own ideas and qualities to the studio. The space is nice, too...it's open, airy but small enough to feel intimate. In fact, it feels a little like a family because there are regulars there and the vibe is super friendly. But I'm not the only one who's growing by doing yoga there. Over the years, I have seen Terry grow as well, getting better and better in her journey as a teacher, constantly evolving and expanding her offering to students. It's truly a great place, and it has become an important and necessary part of my life. read more
