Welcome to Yoga by Donation
in Downtown Portsmouth, NH

After teaching yoga for fifteen years in various Seacoast locations, Bob Vaccaro launched Yoga by Donation on January 1, 2009, to provide quality yoga, meditation, energy healing and related classes in an exceptional setting for people at all levels of physical and financial abilities. We have no set or even suggested fees; all donations are anonymous and all are appreciated! 

With over 30 instructors working collaboratively and paid from donations after studio expenses are covered, we offer over 50 regularly-scheduled classes each week, all of which are multi-level and open to beginners and drop-ins.  See Statistics to view our growth in classes, attendance and donations. Our handicapped-accessible studio is all-wool carpeted and our heavy relaxation blankets are all-cotton.  Our wall sconces are on dimmers, our waiting room is sound-insulated from the studio and includes two changing rooms;  two unisex bathrooms are a few steps down the hall.

Clothing, Perfumes and Mats
    
Please wear clothing that is readily available to you, comfortable and loose-fitting. Students wear shorts, tights, sweats or baggy pants of all types.  Barefoot is recommended but not required.  Please no perfumes as some students have allergic reactions to perfumes.  We also ask that you take shoes off and leave them in the waiting room.  We have plenty of mats available at no charge and we also provide mat storage at no charge for students who want to leave their mats at the studio.
