The teachers here have practiced yoga for years and they are trying to get you in that space both physically and mentally. No one is there after few months of a teacher training certificate. The classes are extremely affordable if you think about the quality of the classes and experience of the teacher. I take Annie's class because that was the first one I attended. It's best part of the week for me now. I go in with chaotic head and so hyper .. I get out all calm and aligned. I don't even go for meditative goals. It's just such an added benefit to my work out.

I've gotten bad migraines after two of the hot classes here, both of which I found pretty boot-camp-y and un-yogic. One of them, the instructor was yelling about " Making your legs the same length " and " uneven limbs " the whole time. Well, I have many close to me with physical deformities/abnormalities--myself included--and that just completely took me out of it. I've had more empathetic experiences at Bikram inspired Hot 26. If you're very low body fat and love to take the most intense Power Flow classes on offer, this might be a good place for you. I have been practicing for six years and I'm in decent shape generally and on the intermediate end in most classes--but I was on the floor and ended up with bad migraines here. The Iyengar class was the opposite, very slow and jerky with extremely detailed cueing. Not a workout at all, but nice if you like Iyengar (I found here that I don't really).

I came to Baptiste in 2021 without prior hot yoga experience and felt welcomed; now in 2024, I continue to commute 1hr each way to practice. Having taken sessions at both the Brookline and the Northampton locations, across varying class energy levels, I always leave feeling like a better version of myself. Nuts and bolts: heated classes of ~95F; plenty of streetside and lot parking; classes with 15-40 participants without feeling cramped; mat/towel rentals at $3; complimentary hydration station, toilets and changing stations!

Took my first class here with Mark. A couple of notes here. Also, if you have a few minutes, I…read morerecommend scanning their IG page to get an idea of what you're in for. 1. The class gets very, very hot, between 90-95 degrees F. For the hour of power class, the sequence is fast-paced. At one point, I ended up skipping every other chatarunga in order to keep up (sorry, Mark). Also, not many breaks built in so I took plenty of self-imposed breaks. We hit a lot of different poses in that one hour. I wasn't bored, that's for sure. Panting and dripping sweat and conscious of the giant puddle I was birthing, but not bored. I loved the focus on some of the lesser-done moves, like crow. (Seriously, every yoga class is going to do bridge. Also, petition to banish ab work from all yoga sequences. Signed, someone who hates bicycles with a fiery passion.) Stinky foot smell scale: 7/10. I got used to it after a while, though. 2. Mark is a beloved teacher judging on how full the class was and how many regulars there seemed to be. And he was truly awesome. One of the best, clearest yoga teachers I've ever taken, who would do the moves with us as he went along. I noticed halfway through that he wasn't using music and seriously, that made such a difference. I felt like I could concentrate on what he was saying and what I was doing without getting caught up in whatever song was playing. That said, he does hands-on assists (no heads-up is given at the beginning of class so this is me giving it). Some people (including me) don't mind it - in fact, I'm giving an apology in advance for how soggy I was; others might find it distracting or intrusive. Granted, this isn't specific to this one teacher. If you go on the Baptiste Power IG, hands-on assists is listed as one of the core features of their practice. I suppose it's up to each individual person to weigh that and decide if maybe another studio feels right for them. 3. Studio is nice and spacious with windows (I hate the windowless interior ones that make you feel like you're in a basement, looking at you, CPY). It gets crowded AND there's definitely a strategy to picking a spot, hence why it would behoove you to get there early. It seems like the ends of the room (closest to the door and windows) are the coolest, while the center and closer to the front get the hottest (since you're under the row of lights overhead and also right in the instructor's line of sight). I didn't cotton on to this quickly enough and by the time I had gotten myself set up, it was too late. Front and center and a literal puddle by the second sequence. Also: no mirrors. On bad body image days, I appreciate that, though sometimes catching sight of myself in a bind or doing eagle gives me a confidence boost. 4. Parking: metered street options, plus a lot right across the street. The studio is in a bustling part of Brookline, with lots of restaurants and cafes nearby.

Here is a business model for all Yoga Schools…read more If you read my earlier reviews you will see my journey with CPY. The last time I did a review it wasn't very flattering (as a large, older man with a terminal illness, I need them to offer more HPY and C1 during the day, but right now they are focused on Sculpt classes). It wasn't a review of the teachers nor the schools themselves (which are wonderful), it was just a critique on needing more access to accessible classes (I think I speak for more than a few people on this) in a climate in Boston as a whole, which isn't always marketing Yoga to larger bodies, older people, or people with serious illnesses. Now, after my last review, a person from Customer Care (Alli) contacted me, and we began a conversation about my review. Admittedly, sick, tired, nauseas and in pain, I wasn't the easiest person to deal with, but to her credit, Alli remained supportive and professional with me. After a few months of discussion, I decided to engage the opportunities that CPY had to offer, and together with management of my local CPY, and with the Customer Care Team (especially Alli), I am back at CPY today. It's not easy for someone with severe chronic fatigue syndrome, an inflammation disease, and a terminal degenerative muscle disease (not to mention being over 300 pounds) to get on the mat, but working with my doctors, and working with the wonderful people at the studio, I'm back on the mat once again. I don't think it would have been possible without all of the kindness, compassion, and support of Alli, and the support from people at the studio. CPY is the perfect place to launch my battle for my health and my life, and to relaunch my yoga practice (I was in Mysore, India, way back in 2011, studying Yoga!). The studio is clean, the changing rooms are clean, the staff is friendly and supportive, the Yoga is well-designed and there is room to push hard as well as take a rest and do what you can do at this time. "Yoga meets you where you are" as Alli said to me during our conversations, and that is true. Here is where I am. Where are you? Go to this wonderful studio and find out.

I have been really enjoying my time at CorePower!…read more Now having completed 15 classes, I can say I am totally hooked. I started going by using my Class Pass and only found myself wanting to use my credits here. Then I tried out the free week trial through CorePower directly and loved it. I didn't wanna take a rest day! I will say you need to be careful because I didn't realize I had booked an eighth class and it didn't notify me that the free trial was over. Once I attended, I was charged $35. I was reached out to by a staff member via email and then got a discounted first month of unlimited classes. I am excited to continue this journey! Here's what stands out to me: The instructors are all so friendly and cultivate such a warm, welcoming environment. There is an infectious energy in the studio that makes you want to chat with your neighbor. The studio feels spacious for the amount of people that can be packed in there. It is always so clean!! Even the mirrors. Also, the LEDs are a fun addition. The locker room, although tight at times, is maintained impeccably. Always clean and stocked with amenities. I love that they always have spray deodorant and tampons! It's hard to feel clean when taking the classes and having several stocked showers is great. I am getting stronger and feel great! Even in little ways I am seeing great process that makes me want to stick with this for a while. To be continued!

She was incredibly attentive to the needs of all of us students and really tailored the class to what we needed that day. I loved it. Since that class, I started doing private Yoga Therapy sessions with her on a regular basis and taking her group classes whenever she offered them. It has made a big difference for me. There's nothing like having someone dedicate an hour to really working with you. I have felt a big difference physically and emotionally (!) from working with her. The private yoga therapy sessions last about an hour and are always different. There's usually a mix of talking/checking-in to see what's been going on, breathing practices (pranayama), physical practices (asanas), relaxation techniques, recommendations for helping to feel better throughout the week, energy work, etc. Really, there's so much that comes into the sessions. I always felt I came away from them feeling better, more relaxed, and with some real tools that I could use on my own. I loved that. It really made me feel like I was getting something tangible out of the sessions. She also offers workshops, which have been excellent and are a great way to meet her and see her style. Her studio offers Trio classes, which are semi-private yoga class for three people. Those are a really nice way to get many of the benefits of the private sessions but at a much lower price. Private sessions are definitely an investment, but I feel like the benefits I got from them made it more than worth it. Bottom line: I can't say enough good things about Divya Jyoti Yoga Studio. It's definitely worth checking out!
