I have an on-again off-again yoga practice and when my neighborhood studio closed shortly after Covid, I was looking for a spot to practice about once/week. I had previously done DUY's mysore program in Brookline (2015-2017 or so), and had taken hot yoga classes here and there. I will say, hot yoga is still not my favorite (I crave it maybe twice a year), and this location offers primarily heated flow. Being the closest to my house, though, I found myself attending class year when I purchased a new member monthly special and then subsequent class cards. I have noticed that they have made aesthetic improvements to the studio from when they first purchased it from another franchise. It is quite homey and I can tell there is definitely a community. There are infrequent non-heated classes, but the majority of the classes you will find on the schedule are hot. I discovered that teachers have a different level of heat, so you may want to try different ones to see what works best. My favorite teacher left about 18 months ago, but I will still drop in from time to time. Some teachers follow a pretty generic "hot flow class" type template while others are a bit more original and interesting. I do really like how each teacher has their own style and you get to know that and you can take class with the teachers you like best. I find the 9:30 AM weekday class convenient; not too full but also early enough in the day that I can still get started working from home at a somewhat reasonable hour. The standout teacher at this location for me is Masaaki. read more

This is my favorite yoga studio in the entire Boston area. I couldn't believe how spacious the practice space is!!! The teachers are so experienced and there is a lot to choose from, mostly Hot Power flows! So wonderful to feel that heat! The staff are so supportive and friendly and check in was very smooth. read more

Beautiful location and amazing teachers , my favorite studio in Boston! Every time I come here, I feel like I am at my home away from home

I've been a member of Down Under for two years and I love all the classes they offer. I really like that they offer more than just yoga. They have classes such as yoga sculpt, heated flow, barre etc. I also really like the fact that they have so many classes throughout the day so it can fit in any busy schedule. I would recommend this studio to anyone who like flexibility and variety in their fitness routine! read more

Favorite studio(s) in greater Boston. Consistently engaging instructors, clean and calm.

Down Under's Porter Square location is my favorite spot to practice yoga in Boston! The studio itself is very clean and spacious. I truly love every class I've taken here and appreciate the variety of types of classes offered. The heated flows are amazing! read more

In addition to being sparkling clean, this location is a beautiful, vibrant community for yogis. As soon as you walk in you feel that you are in a safe space. The studio is filled with beautiful natural light. Teachers like Gregor, Shawna, and Marco (and so many more!!) lead beautiful classes. read more

I absolutely love this studio. I have been coming here for years whether it be with a full membership or taking drop in classes when my when schedule gets busy. There are so many great teachers and it honestly has a class for whatever mood you're in, or skill level you have. Recently I took a class by Meg who was subbing for my usual Monday teacher and she KILLED it. It was a heated flow class, and while the entire class could access the sequence I appreciated that she had more advanced poses to add to the base poses. She also showed us new transitions to poses I've been doing for years. It was a nice change from my typical flows. I definitely recommend this studio, and definitely recommend taking a class with Meg. read more

I had practiced yoga for nearly 5 years. I recently moved out west and miss the studio. However, I have purchased Downunder Yoga Anytime. I suggest if you can't get to the studio, sign up for this service. I especially love Brittney's classes- online and in person. She is so kind and understanding as well as a very good teacher of "Journey into Power" which I like very much. read more

This studio does not treat the teaching staff well. I will not be back until it's a non-toxic environment for both the students and the staff. read more

In my years of practicing across multiple different cities and studios, Brittney B. is the best instructor I've ever had, hands down. Classes are challenging yet provide plenty of options for modification. Brittney emanates this warmth and a steady energy that make classes consistently engaging and fun. The folks at the front desk - Patrick, Katie, and others- are friendly and welcoming to regulars and newcomers alike. I can't say enough about this studio! read more

I've been an avid Core Power attendee up until now. The heated flows at Down Under Yoga are not only super challenging, but so relaxing. I took a 90 minute heated flow with Brittney which was probably the hardest yoga class I've ever taken. I literally don't think I've sweat more in my life, but it was amazing. Something that is different than this Yoga Studio than others is the lack of mirrors. I always find myself staring at myself and getting distracted, and during these flows I was more present in the moment. I also really enjoyed Gregor and Claire's heated flows. I haven't done a regular flow because I prefer the heat. I am currently enjoying a newcomer special that is $30 for 30 days, and think I will purchase a membership after. The only problem is I drive here, and parking can sometimes be challenging on Massachusetts Ave. read more

Absolutely amazing things to say about all DUY locations, including Cambridge where I especially enjoy Louie's heated flow. DUY changed my practice in so many GOOD ways - I ended up doing 300 hr YTT through this studio as well and even though I had a family member help pay for it, worth every penny. Fun Fact: I will be keeping my membership despite the change to virtual classes while we practice physical distancing to #flattenthecurve during COVID19 pandemic. WORTH IT. Consider doing the same - DUY is going to be streaming us virtual classes soon! read more

I'm a picky eater when it comes to the yogas after a couple decades of practicing up and down the eastern seaboard. I also swore I'd never do yoga in the heat before moving to Mass. HOWEVER, after almost 3 years, I just want to say that this studio has converted me. I am so, so massively appreciative of all the covid-era efforts of the teachers -- those who have been willing to tolerate teaching on Zoom and/or who have been willing to be in the same room with me during a pandemic - neither are part of the TT 200 curriculum. Piles and piles of gratitude for Claire, Gregor, Tara, Louie (miss you, it has been a while!), Braxton, Brittany, Masaaki. Thank you; you all are terrific. read more

I purchased the 30 days for $30 membership. I can say the studio is beautiful. I mostly did hot yoga because it was a personal preference to me. However, it didn't get 5 stars because of the front desk staff. When I first signed up I never received a tour, information, a key chain to tap so I could walk in without spelling my name to the staff or being asked if I'm new there. Usually always someone different working the front. I don't know when I go to different studios it's just usually more welcoming and less tight knit of a community. The studio is down the street from my house and the prices aren't bad. I'm just not sold on it yet. I eventually received fob to walk in by their pregnant receptionist who realized I hadn't been informed. Nonetheless if you don't care for that stuff then by all means 5 star read more

Outstanding flow sequence from an outstanding instructor, Erica. 75 minutes flew by. As an up-leveler, I felt super comfortable and encouraged. Clean facility, though slightly cramped. Highly recommend to travelers who need a great place for a drop in practice. read more

Hands down (no pun intended!) this is far and away the best studio I have ever attended. I've been practicing for nearly 15 years now and am so impressed with the professionalism, the friendliness, the peaceful atmosphere and the teachers. My personal preference is the hot yoga classes so I can only speak to those teachers. Wonderful!! read more

Did a drop in at 6am heated flow. Great instructor, spacious, clean and well equipped. Check it out

Good studio is great teachers like Jane ... I miss the old baptiste studio though and just wish the classes were more athletic like the way Brandon C used to teach. read more

I'm typically not one to write online reviews, however this studio deserves concrete and absolute praise. First off, the space is LEGENDARY, who's inspiring and grounding energy can be felt as soon as you walk through the door. I've been practicing here since August 2016, and have witnessed the amazing transformation under the new management. Bringing simple renovations and aesthetic touch-ups, along with adding a more invigorating lineup of both challenging and rewarding classes (beyond their distinguished Baptiste program), has truly galvanized this studio as one of Boston's (dare I say New England's) most illustrious. Having kept all of the original instructors, plus some phenomenal new ones, only adds to the space's rebirth. To find anywhere better would be ... a stretch! read more

Have taken two classes with Gregor - heated flow. OK, but find it strange that the instructor does not use any of the Sanskrit names for the poses and does not talk about poses in an instructional way. I appreciate when teachers actually teach you about the poses you are holding as you practice. He says a lot about the body (uses the word more times than I've ever heard a teacher say). But he has a positive vibe and people seem to enjoy it. Practice studio is large, well lit and clean. Staff is very nice and building is clean with lockers and changing spaces. Definitely worth checking out. read more

This studio has provided some of the most welcoming, encouraging and motivating yoga classes I have experienced since beginning my yoga practice as a child. The heated flow classes combine challenging poses with beneficial breathing practices that are repeated throughout the hour. The end result has me feeling like I just completed a kick-ass workout, but instead of walking out with fatigue, I feel rejuvenated and ready for the rest of my day. For the more experienced yogi, I especially recommend Tara Morris's hot power flow classes on Wednesdays. Tara brings an incredible energy to the room, and pushes me to remain in difficult poses while adding in touches of humor and positivity that keep me feeling centered and present. I recommend this studio to yogis of all levels, even those considering their first ever class. What a wonderful place. read more

Down Under is a very special place, and you can tell all the magic is actually very intentional. When I came back to Boston after a number of years overseas, I really struggled to find a yoga studio where I felt at home, like people were real, open, and (most importantly) enjoying themselves. Across the three studios, I can find a class that excites me every single day. The teachers are incredible! My favorites are Claire, Emily, Larissa, Michael, Hannah (oh boy, my list is getting long!), and Jojo. The rest of my world is pure and utter chaos, but Down Under is my little haven of daily joy. You should definitely give it a try. read more

This yoga studio is under new management, and the changes the new owner has made are deeply disappointing. Until recently, every class was a hugely rewarding, heated vinyasa experience. Heating the studio is expensive, so the schedule is now bloated with unheated non-challenging (and frankly boring) classes with only a handful of participants. If you can still find one of the heated flow classes in the new schedule, take it! read more

Please give this place a try!! They have a great one month deal for new members and it is completely worth it, even if you only can make it a couple of times. The yoga instructors are amazing and everyone is quite talented. The staff are incredibly nice and were even willing to give my husband a free mat and yoga towel on his first day and again on a verrrrry snowy day! Everyone we met was accommodating, professional and kind. I only knocked one star because some of the classes are 1.5 hours (I understand that is because of the format of yoga it is) however, I found it tough to fit multiple classes into my schedule throughout the week due to limited classes offered throughout the day, on top of some being longer classes; additionally, there are no showers at two of the three locations which also made pre-work workouts harder to fit in! Overall great experience though, please check out Down Under Yoga! It is a special place! read more
