Live Lila History:

Lila East End Yoga opened on June 4, 2010, at 251 Congress Street, in Portland, Maine. For a decade this intimate space hosted daily classes, workshops, teacher trainings, ceremonies, gatherings, and celebrations. Together, as individuals, we entered, and together we created a community. The studio ran beautifully because of the many hands and hearts that helped fill the walls – from changing lightbulbs to kicking up into handstands, to offering flowers, chocolates, stones, feathers, the studio was held by us all.

In April 2019, the studio expanded to a second location within the gorgeous walls and company of The Good Medicine Collective. There we offered weekly classes, workshops, and a teacher training.

In March 2020, we as a world culture faced unprecedented times with the arrival of Covid-19. The studio doors closed. We quickly created new ways to reach out to our community through online classes, outdoor classes, zoom calls, and weekly messages to hold weave us through the challenging times.

June 2020 the studio doors at 251 Congress Street closed permanently. It was a time of illumination, socially, politically, culturally, environmentally, it became clear that Lila East End Yoga, in the way that it existed pre-quarantine, was a thing of the past. The spread of Covid-19 and its international order to go back to our homes and hold tight to that which nurtures and restores us revealed another way of being.

At that turning point, Lila began hosting classes online. Lila continues to host online classes, as well as events, pop-up classes, workshops, private sessions, and trainings at Lila West within Good Medicine Collective at 231 York Street.
