Instruction was clear and easy to follow, with individual help if needed. I was pleasantly surprised how accessible the poses were. In spite of my own personal mobility issues, there was always a pose or a modification that I was able to do.

The instructors are all very nice and welcoming. Machelle is a great instructor and founder. She clearly knows her stuff! The classes are up to 12 people per class. I love that I can use an app to register and pay for all of my classes. I also like that if I need to cancel, I can get a refund if it is 3 or more hours before the class start time. They have plans to move the studio in October across the street to a two-story location to be able to expand this amazing studio. I have only taken a handful of classes thus far but I am excited to continue going but I’m already starting to feel like a part of the community! ✨??♀️

I was so fortunate to take Machelle Lee’s yoga teacher training. She is one of the very few teachers I have found, after many years of looking, who helps me work with my body, not against it. It has been a joy to take her Yin and Vinyasa Yin classes online nearly every Saturday and Sunday since the pandemic started. Highly recommend.

I have been going to yoga and other classes at Roots and River for almost 2years now. It has worked wonders for my joint health, core strength, energy, headaches, and overall strength. My 14 year old daughter or my husband attend with me depending on the class. Daughter prefers faster paced classes and husband prefers slower flow and yin. Additionally, I have gotten to know other regular classmates and the teachers so it is a super comfortable environment. Last, I can't say enough about Machelle, the owner, she is a wonderful instructor and has a wealth of knowledge in this field.

Roots & River is an inviting, comfortable, and soothing space. Machelle carefully curates a range of classes led by kind and knowledgeable teachers, and there's something for everyone here. From the mind-body connection of flow yoga, to the physical challenge of barre, to calm and thoughtful meditation practice. Music and movement classes just for wee ones, strength classes tailored for elders. And of course Machelle's brilliant specialty of yin yoga which will help any body feel rejuvenated. Roots & River is a gem, a gift, and one of the best things going on in Brunswick MD.

Fantastic classes in a warm and inviting space. These instructors know anatomy well, so all body types and skill levels are welcome. I've taken classes in person while visiting Brunswick, Maryland and have continued from Seattle, joining others across the US taking classes online. Roots and River won't disappoint!

Roots and River is THE BEST! Machelle is one of the most knowledgeable and friendly teachers I've ever met, and has a huge talent for making yoga fun and accessible. I have enjoyed her classes so much. And if you're a person who thinks yoga anatomy is kinda dry and boring, think again... she manages to make it super interesting and much more experiential than your average yoga teacher. I've learned a lot from studying with her and my yoga practice has definitely improved as a result.

This studio is so unique - set in a renovated historic storefront in beautiful downtown Brunswick. The Thursday vinyasa class with Phoebe is my favorite!

I have taken classes from 3 of the instructors. Every class is different in all the best ways. I do not participate in the vinyasa sessions but I have taken the other types, yin, slow flow, stress relief. The instructors are very thoughtful in their sessions. They offer virtual sessions and in studio socially distanced sessions which are what I prefer.

I have never been to a yoga studio that is more welcoming and homey than Roots and River (and I've been to A LOT of studios). The Owner, Machelle, has created an inviting, unpretentious, sacred space and her wealth of knowledge and years of experience shows in her genuine care for her students. Do yourself (and your mind and body) a favor and visit Roots and Rover ASAP! *Pic of me and my Mom at a Mother's Day class

River and Roots Yoga is one the best yoga studios I have ever practiced at. I have been practicing for over 20 yrs in NYC and Virginia. Michele is a wonderful teacher and inspiration.
