What students say…
“This class, especially the meditation, has been life changing for Josh. We have a different teenager than we had in January. He has been very successful in working through his anxiety and has developed tremendous coping abilities. Meditation has given him an amazing sense of self awareness and ability to process / positively control his thoughts. Thank you for working with him.” – Rod D.
“What brought me to Maha Yoga were the words “Yoga for every body”. As a plus size woman I didn’t think I could do yoga. Pam helped me through this mind set and also many physical and mental health challenges I have experienced over the last number of years. I appreciate all the things I have learned from Pam.” – Trina H.
“I have taken classes from Pam for several years. She is a gifted teacher. She combines her knowledge of various yoga practices, Reiki, and her teaching background in a way that enlivens the body and awakens the soul.” – Rev. Laura Sundberg
“I have found yoga to be helpful in managing chronic pain as a result of rheumatoid arthritis. Pam is very understanding and patient as I move slowly into the various poses. She is quick to suggest alternative poses to accommodate my physical limitations if necessary. Pam has a wealth of knowledge about anatomy and the interconnectedness of the human body. Yoga at Maha is for sure one of the highlights of my week!” – Heather Lowe
“Real Yoga. Not your commercial yoga. Physical – spiritual – holistic. And lots of fun and laughter.” Carmen Leibel
“At Maha Yoga studio, Pam shares her knowledge of yoga by providing a wide range of yoga practices with an innate sense of her student’s needs. Whether you are an experienced yogi or have never tried yoga before, this is an excellent studio to explore the world of yoga. The smaller class sizes provide opportunity for community and comfort. As a long-time client of Maha Yoga studio, I highly recommend anyone of any age or ability to contact Pam for more information.” – Shelley Foster
“What a great family yoga session today with Pam Roberts of Maha Yoga. Our classes with Pam are such a good fit for our family. My goal was to find something to help Sydney with her emotions and it has turned into so much more. We truly enjoy our Sundays with Pam!! Thank you.” – Lana H.
After a significant loss, I was suffering with debilitating grief. Yoga has always been a source of healing for me, so I consulted with Pam for some advice. We decided to do three private iRest sessions. During the sessions, I became aware of the powerful emotions my body had been storing and replaying. This awareness gave me a sense of acceptance and peace, as once the emotions were acknowledged, I felt released from their grip. The sessions, with Pam as my guide, were profound in my path toward healing. When potential difficulties arise in the future, I am confident that I have learned how to work with my emotions instead of ignoring them. ”- Val Y.
“Pam Robert’s offering of iRest Yoga Nidra is simply magical! iRest has provided me great comfort, and healing during a very difficult time in my life. I have been able to work through many things on a subconscious level due to this practice, and Pam’s soothing, nurturing, and loving energy.
Pam provides safety, and comfort for her students; something anyone dealing with stress, anxiety, PTSD, and/or depression will greatly appreciate. Pam shares the wisdom with her students, that there is nothing wrong, there is nothing to fix, nor change, and to just let everything be, just as it is. This is not an easy thing to grasp initially, however, with Pam’s loving kindness, and guidance, I promise you, it does get easier.
Pam provides the foundations for a life-long journey of self-compassion, and awareness. A bonus is the lovely voice recording of the iRest practice, recorded by Pam. The recording makes it easy to integrate the iRest practice into your daily life, and routine.
The beauty of iRest is that no practice, nor experience is ever the same. Each time I have entered an iRest practice, I leave with some new item of wisdom and/or truth; from the need to forgive, to the warmth of lightness in heart, and mind. I have left Pam’s class feeling safe, secure, calm, and confident. I have learned to listen to my heart more, to step out of my own head; to go a little deeper, and to linger a little longer. iRest has provided me with some very deep, and powerful realizations.
I honestly cannot recommend Pam’s iRest Yoga Nidra course enough! I encourage anyone, and everyone to try this profound practice. I am eternally grateful to Pam for introducing me to iRest, and for being such a wonderful, and compassionate teacher.”

“My life changed terrifically when I found Maha Yoga six years ago. Finally, I learned tools that helped me to be comfortable with anxiety and to help me to heal from OCD. I’ve not only learned the proper form (and sometimes, modifications that my body needs) to the asanas, but I’ve also learned about mindfulness, meditation, chakra balancing, and how to take myself out of my comfort zone—I never thought I’d be able to hang upside down and now it’s one of my favourite things to do! After living many years feeling like an outsider, I’ve finally found a place where I feel like I belong.
Pam is the kindest person I know. She fosters an environment where students are supportive of one another. I don’t feel self-conscious when I’m not able to go as deeply into a pose that another student can because Pam reminds us that each day is a new day. What your body could do yesterday may not be the same thing it can do today, or today might be the day that your body accomplishes what it couldn’t last week. Pam encourages her students to look within ourselves during each class, as well as in our day-to-day activities—to listen to our bodies, to observe our thoughts, to ask ourselves, “Who would I be without this thought?” and to be gentle, patient and kind with ourselves. When Pam sees that I’m being lazy in a class and not going as deeply into poses as my body would allow that day, she will call me on it, which I appreciate—but her approach is one of loving kindness and never to embarrass me.
I haven’t missed enrolling for a session at Maha Yoga from the day I walked into the studio. However, I am continually amazed at how different each class is and I never leave a class without learning something new, even when it comes to poses that I’ve done thousands of times. Pam is intuitive and she is able to read the energy of her classes; she encourages her students to accept everything as it happens, that suffering exists when we don’t accept what is. She embodies this herself through her willingness to modify her lesson plan if she recognizes that her students would benefit from doing certain kinds of poses, rather than the ones she had planned for.
My life is profoundly different than it was six years ago. I thank Pam and the other teachers and students of Maha Yoga for the roles that they have played in my journey. ” – Mel M.
