Chill Yoga

Chill Yoga Chill Yoga-Yoga Studio Cooperatively, they have been joined by other teachers who teach varying styles of yoga and movement.
(1)

Yoga teachers and practitioners, Heidi Audet and Nerys Bayley, co-founded Chill Yoga in 2007 as a studio for the growing Yoga community of Lewiston/Auburn. Together they share the beautiful studio located in downtown Lewiston. We have a full schedule with a wide variety of offerings from regular ongoing classes to sessions and workshops. We offer virtual classes through Zoom, a new weekend "Yoga O

utdoors" Program for outdoor enthusiasts, and hybrid classes (Zoom/in person) in our studio at 182 Lisbon St. Teachers at Chill Yoga have studied and trained in different styles, and sometimes these might look quite distinct. But we are cognizant that the goal of Yoga is always the same whichever style we may practice or teach. We recommend trying different styles, different teachers and finding what suits you, which may very well change over the course of developing your practice. Visit www.chillyoga.net for our schedule.

Hello weekend!✨️

Enjoy our last summer weekend of classes before the studio takes its annual 2-week break!

Whether you're iFriday interests sway towards an eqrly morning Sunrise Deck Yoga in Turner with Heidi or Restorative Yoga & All Levels Vinyasa at the studio with Diane, we have you covered.

Saturday brings you a 75-minute All Levels Vinyasa; for new parents Heidii will guide a 30-minute Baby & Me Yoga class so Mom & Dad can experience special bonding time with their little one.

Agamenticus Hike, Yoga & Meditation, in York Maine offers sweeping views of the coast and mountains, with yoga and meditation at the pinnacle of the hike.

5PM Yin Yoga & Meditation with Lori is the perfect class to relax before the week begins, and to bring the studio's summer classes to a close.

The weekend is here! ✨️

The cooler nights of August are giving hints to the weeks leading up to summer's swan song. As you and your family spend time enjoying summer vacation trips together, back to school shopping adventures, and for some, returning to this are for college, Chill has a variety of classes to help ground you.

If the sparkle of the water's surface entices you, join Sunrise Deck Yoga in Turner on Friday morning with Heidi. If you are looking for a peaceful and slower transition to the weekend, Diane's Restorative Yoga has you covered.

All Levels Vinyasa on Friday morning with Diane and Saturday morning with Heidi offers you an opportunity to find some strength and power as you flow through the practice.

Sunday morning, enjoy a Free Community Yoga class with YTT student teacher Caleigh Copeland, and Lori brings your weekend to a close with a soul-nourishing Yin practice.✨️

Reminder:
Next week will be the last week of in-studio classes for August. Chill Yoga's physical studio will be closed Monday, Aug. 24th through Monday Sept. 7th for our annual studio deep cleaning and minor renovations.

As we enter the second week of August, a new week presents you with opportunities to find peace and balance. ✨️

Whether you participate in an early morning class to greet the sun, an afternoon class to support you through the midday, or perhaps an evening class to clear the mind from the day's chatter, making space for yourself is the goal.

At Chill, we are happy to be your yoga tour guides for the experience.

The weekend is here!

If this week's heat wave has been overwhelming you, come into the studio for a relaxed practice with Katie, Kathy or Lori. We have AC to help gently cool you down as your yoga practice stills the mind.

We look forward to seeing you on the mat. 🙏❤️

TEACHER SPOTLIGHT:

Meet Lori, our Yin Yoga & Instinctive Meditation Teacher. Lori also trained with Dr. Lorin Fishman in Yoga for Osteoporosis, and offers both the Yin and YvO classes at Chill Yoga, where she has been a teacher since the fall of 2023. This fall, Lori will be bringing specialized Meditation workshops and Yoga vs. Osteoporosis-focused workshops to Chill.

From Lori:
"As a retired Registered Nurse and Nurse Practice Educator specializing in critical care, I bring a clinical foundation to my holistic yoga practice. I started practicing yoga in 2002 as a personal pathway for wellness maintenance. My first thesis, written in 2003, explored the healing nature of yoga, ta**ra, and meditation—a subject I view as a true meeting of East and West.

I completed my yoga teacher training in 2023 at Chill Yoga through The Healing Tide School of Yoga and am a 200-hour CYT. I also completed an advanced meditation teacher training in 2026 at The Radiant Sutras School of Meditation and am a 500-hour RYT.

My teaching focuses on slower movements, such as Yin Yoga to energize soft tissues, Yoga vs. Osteoporosis to strengthen our bones, and Instinctive Meditation to nourish our life force while moving through the wise motions of life.

Instinctive Meditation is my first love, and I am delighted to also offer meditation workshops through my meditation concierge practice at SomaMT.com."

You can join Lori on Wednesdays at 11AM for her Yoga vs. Osteoporosis class, and on Sundays from 5-6PM for her Yin Yoga & Meditation class.
