Kusum Institute Yoga Scarborough

"Kusum is a beautifully decorated studio with truly engaging teachers and educational programs. There are locations in Saco and Scarborough offering daily classes in a variety of styles, such as Ashtanga, Yin, Mindfulness, Yoga Nidra and Amrit Yoga. For students, yoga mats/blocks/blankets/eye pillows, private changing areas, clean restroom and on-site parking are provided. The two most impressive things about the Institute are it's diverse client base and it's ongoing education programs. In every class I have participated in, there have been people of various sizes, genders, ages, ability status, fitness levels and yoga experience. For those who find a deeper calling to Yoga, there are Yoga Teacher Certification courses, immersion courses and visiting guest speakers. Why just last night, Kusum hosted a standing room only lecture by the illustrious Yogi Amrit Desai!"

"Penny is such a caring and inspiring teacher. You will know when you enter this space that you have found something so different. As mentioned in another review, this is true yoga, where all are always welcome. Give it a try, you will never be the same."

"You experience true yoga at Kusum Institute. Not just the physical poses, the concepts go well beyond the mat into your daily life. With the various styles of yoga offered, as well as the immersion programs and various workshops and kirtan events there is some facet of yoga available for everyone."

"Have been going to the Sunday morning classes and I truly miss when I cannot attend. The class is slower and meditative and provides physical exertion that challenges you - but at your own level and pace. It is very grounding for me. Penny always has a great message to share and it feels like a total yoga experience. Not that you've just attended a yoga class but that you've been a part of something special. Really an awesome way to start your day."

"This place is a gem! Penny has created a yoga studio that is for EVERYONE. Her classes are SO relaxing and so important to my daily sanity. If can, go here!"
