I moved to Portland two weeks ago to do travel nursing and was looking for a new yoga studio. The front desk was very welcoming! It’s also a beautifully clean studio. I told them I was new and they were very kind to tell me what to expect. Stephen was my yoga instructor. While doing downward dog I noticed my phone had 20 messages from my family. It was on silent of course. I checked my phone and Stephen stopped the class, came up to me, in front of everyone, telling me to “take this outside of the room we have a no phone policy.” Mind you, I am in the back corner, all the lights in the room are on. And I literally just checked to make sure everything was okay quietly without disturbing anyone. Again I was in the back corner. Anyways I immediately left. I felt super embarrassed and uncomfortable. Everyone was looking at me at this point. I wish I would have known the no phone policy when I said I was new. There were no signs or anything to tell me. Idk I just got bad vibes and wish he would’ve told me after the class finished, that would’ve been so different and totally understandable. But yeah just felt very unwelcome and like I was in trouble when I had no idea. Plus I paid good money to be there. Maybe I’m being a baby but trying new things is sometimes difficult and I wish he would’ve been more welcoming!

Classes here are great-there is something for everyone. Varying levels of difficulty based on teachers/classes.
They also focus highly on alignment-I have learned so much on how to do yoga properly and prevent injury.
Interesting flows-no boring sun salutations on repeat here. The teachers staff space are also great-not pretentious, and pricing totally reasonable given the quality.

I started coming here when I lived in South Portland and when I moved over to Westbrook I attend the Falmouth location as well-It is right off 95 if you need to work it if you are out and about.

I love the timing and flexibility of the class times- my schedule rotates and it’s great being able to go at 4pm, 7:30 am, etc.

I highly recommend GP!

To everyone at GPY, you all are simply the best! You offer so many different and complimentary ways to practice yoga. You have a truly wonderful and diverse set of instructors. You have two locations and a schedule that allows yogis to practice all throughout the day. Thank you for the April challenge month - participating has been a gift.
Namaste.

I would like to say how much I enjoy practicing yoga at Greener Postures. Greener Postures has such a welcoming and friendly atmosphere and with two studios it is double the fun! All of the instructors are thorough with their approach and explanations of the poses. Practicing yoga at greener postures has brought me increased physical health but more importantly peace and an overall feeling of well-being.

Absolutely love this studio!!! The teachers are so awesome and creative with their flows and the space is very warm and inviting. I’m a big fan of hot yoga, so having a few different class/temperature options is great! Would highly recommend greener postures for anyone looking for a new studio!

I've been going to Greener Postures regularly for almost 2 years now, and I so appreciate the environment, community, and quality. Every teacher has their own unique style and energy, and I've enjoyed getting to know and experience a range of teaching styles. There is a range of types of class and timings throughout the day, which makes it easy to incorporate these classes into my routine. Really appreciate the positive impact GPY has had on my life, and definitely recommend it to others who want to develop a regular Vinyasa practice!

Love Greener Postures. The teachers each have their own style, but all are encouraging, knowledgeable, and welcoming. There are a variety of classes offered throughout the day, and registering is a simple process. The space is beautiful, sunny, and clean . The studio is well equipped with yoga props, and has showers available. Very friendly community and a joyful place to practice yoga.

Greener Postures Yoga offers a rich variety of classes guided by experienced and compassionate teachers. GPY caters to different skill levels and preferences and offers classes in flow, yin, deep stretch, yoga nidra, regular workshops, and even international retreats. The instructors provide expert guidance and foster an atmosphere of acceptance, where each practitioner is empowered to honor their own unique journey.

One of the most delightful aspects of GPY is the opportunity to escape the chill of a cold day by stepping into one of their hot (or warm) studios. The warmth envelops you, easing both body and mind into a state of deep relaxation and focus. It's a rejuvenating experience that truly enhances the practice and can make you forget the cold outside.

GPY isn't just a place to practice yoga—it's a sanctuary for warmth and wellness. Whether you're seeking physical strength, mental clarity, or simply an hour to be present and focus on you, this studio has something to offer. I recommend it to anyone looking to nurture their body, mind, and spirit in a supportive and uplifting environment.

I've been going to Greener Postures for over ten years and that alone is testament to how much I love it and them! The teachers, no favorites here (...well maybe - Abby, Danielle, Heidi, Gretchen :) are amazing, the two locations are easily accessible with plenty of parking and overall it's just a wonderful welcoming space to practice!

I love Greener Postures Yoga Studios! Each studio in South Portland and Falmouth are very warm and welcoming spaces. The teachers are fantastic! Each one has their own style so no class is ever the same which keeps it fun and I’m always learning more. There are many classes offered daily with different types of yoga such as Vinyasa Flow, Yin, Deep Stretch, Yoga Nidra, Fundamentals and Prenatal. I have been to many yoga studios over several years and Greener Postures is by far my favorite! Thank-you to the co-owners, Danielle and Heidi for providing such an awesome welcoming place!

I found Greener Postures a few months ago when I moved to the area and was looking for hot yoga (I’m still surprised that a place as cold as Portland doesn’t have much hot yoga!). Greener Postures offers so many great classes — each class and instructor is very different (even if they have the same class title), so if you go to one that you’re not a big fan of, I’d definitely recommend giving a different one a try! I’m so glad I found GPY!! (Only wish is that they bring back the cool lavender towels during savasana 😅)

So happy to have an opportunity to share my Greener Postures review. I was new to yoga and GPY 10 years ago and I can't believe I stuck with it! That is just how amazing it is to practice yoga at GPY. I still learn something from every class! The studio is welcoming and the instructors are awesome. I have tried classes outside GPY when I travel and I am amazed at how GPY shines in comparison.

I've been practicing yoga at Greener Postures for over a decade and GP is my favorite yoga studio in Maine. GP has the BEST teachers, especially Gretchen, Heidi, Danielle, Teri, & Bethany, offers two convenient studio locations with plenty of class time options, and has been such an integral part of my self-care routine. Highly recommended!!

Great experience, my first time doing yoga and I was scared to be pointed out as a new-bie and that never happened I blended with the class. I felt rejuvenated after the heated class, my stress disappeared and my abs and thighs got a great workout, highly recommend this place, clean, beautiful, friendly people if I could give it 10 stars i would

The class I attended was packed, which is theoretically not a problem but fellow students were not observing the dots and claiming extra space with their belongings. The studio was not enforcing their policy of lining up your mat on the sticker either. Overall felt very unfriendly as a new student, being unable to put my yoga mat all the way down. I ended up getting kicked in the head during the class too.
The class itself was good, but the instructor didn’t offer any corrections or really personalize the class by, for example, complimenting or offering suggestions to people. (Maybe she didn’t know many people’s names? She didn’t make an effort to meet me or ask if I had any injuries/specific needs before the class. She checked me in but didn’t identify herself as the teacher.)

There was live music which was a very nice touch.

The cubby and coat area felt extremely packed since class was overbooked. Overall quite disappointed.
