This studio is incredible! Such a wonderful space, convenient location, great staff. Special shoutout to Jill Rodgers, my favorite instructor here. read more

This is a very welcoming and calm class atmosphere. The registration was quick and easy and the teaching was excellent.

First visit. Friendly staff. Great instructor. Easy to follow. Will return. I regret not trying it earlier.

Marlene has a peacefulness that allows for tranquilly and love to lead our shared experience in her class. She is a very special human to me and I adore her for always making space for us... Black and Latina women and folks!! She's a true gem, please continue to give her all the space she needs to keep JP Yoga pioneering in the community healing space for us!! read more

I have taken various classes at JP Centre Yoga and some have been great, but they tend to pack way too many people into a small space for hot yoga. The class last night with Alanna felt very unsanitary - you sit down and smell feet and BO. Mats were three inches apart and there was not enough room for the poses. They packed the room so full the instructor didn't have a mat for herself. Generally, instructors have been good and the space is nice, but one too many unsanitary-feeling hot yoga classes have left me looking for a new yoga studio. read more

The environment was very welcoming, everyone was friendly and kind. I appreciated that the teacher noticed I was new and introduced himself. The physical space is also very calming read more

Great instructor (Alanna) and friendly staff in an inclusive clean space! Bring your own mats for a drop in class. They have all the other materials. read more

Great classes Convenient class times Excellent teachers Good variety of classes I highly recommend this yoga studio. I have been taking classes here since it opened. It has been a consistently excellent studio. I love the online option, as well as the option of signing up for an online class and receiving the recording link to use as at my convenience. That works so well for my schedule. Many thanks to Daniel and his wonderful staff for being a great resource in the community. read more

Daniel always remembers my name and today he said he liked my haircut. And I love the variety of classes offered. Excited to have meditation on the roster. read more

Very pleasant staff, good variety of classes and easy website to sign up. Clean studios and the heated yoga is awesome!

Caitryn taught a perfect class for a snowy Friday morning. She led a relaxed but powerful flow and did an amazing job engaging with us in class and offering coaching/adjustments when needed. Would definitely recommend read more

I just took a class with Dan Maxxand it was restorative and magical ! The class had an acupuncturist and again it was just transformative. I felt amazing after the class. Again so easy to get to and so much room the class was full but not over crowded read more

Grateful for the diligent team here who are exceptionally kind towards challenging participants who struggle not to be in constant fight flight mode‍ Daniel(one of the owners) is prompt with email/phone response and the instructors are highly trained, nuanced in their teaching skills to reach both ends of the yoga journey spectrum. It was my first time trying the heated version of one of their yoga classes this week and though I was convinced that I would have a ptsd flare up from being cooped up w both genders in one heated room, im glad to report that I left the class feeling lighter in my spirit and maybe just a little less on edge. I certainly don't consider myself a yogi, but I do realize the tremendous benefits of trauma informed anything self-care and now plan to come as regularly as my crazy mom-work-school schedule will allow to mend my soul from the dust of everyday life. read more

I took a workshop for teachers to learn about hands on assists, it was my first time at the studio and I found it lovely. Welcoming staff, knowledgeable instructor, bright and beautiful practice space. read more

Great teachers, great spacious high ceilings classrooms . Peaceful, joyful space.easy and convenient to get to -parking close by

All the teachers I know are excellent and after the classes it feels just great and balanced. I wish the 9am classes on the weekends started a little later, like at 9:30am or 10am. read more

numerous class options, many strong teachers. actively increasing diversity in there yoga read more

The instructor had prepared the class well, using consistent motions throughout the class (bringing in new versions later in class of what had been done earlier), including innovative technique (using breathing exercises stimulated by sound/recordings), and incorporated stretches needed at end of day such as head and neck stretching (again using innovative use of strap to facilitate this). Also, her instructions were clear and hands on guidance gentle and useful. I very much enjoyed the class. read more

Well managed studio with diverse programs , excellent teachers and involved and caring management

I have been to yoga studios all over the country. Yours has the perfect balance of what I might call unpretentious realness and lovely design and upkeep. The teachers are also very good. I have been to two classes and I will return. Thank you read more

My favorite yoga spot was 15 minutes late, but I still made it to class. Thank you again!!

Very welcoming staff and vibe. I've just taken 2 classes but both teachers were excellent. Good sized rooms. Clean.

JPCY is the ultimate best! Love the diversity in teachers and students. I feel so happy and at home when I go to practice.

I love the way Daniel explains the poses and intentions. I also like the way he really focusses and works one region of the body each time (funny how every part he focuses on is tight and needs work ). read more

Marlene Boyette is an incredible instructor. Her classes always feel like the safe space I've been craving after navigating personal challenges and these really painful times more broadly. No judgment, no pressure to be the most flexible or the strongest, just lots of care and intention. I'm very grateful for the space she facilitates. read more

Beautiful studio, lovely class, warm friendly and inviting. A community studio through and through.

Instructors are knowledgable, client focused and acknowledge the individual feelings and stories that everyone brings. The classes helped me to better evaluate the flexibility and muscular control that I need to continue to work on for good health while aging. Love the option for virtual. read more

Everything you would want from a studio like great teachers, abundance of classes, events and community

JP Centre Yoga has been my go-to since Covid started. With their many classes a day, meditation, flow & restore, and all level yoga classes, there's plenty to choose from. One of my favorite instructors is Ame, she has such good presence and is a great teacher. My neighbor is a regular of hers and suggested her to me, it was a great suggestion. With their pay-what-you-can structure, this school is available to anyone. I'm able to take classes with my friends from anywhere through the Zoom calls. You don't need any equipment. It truly is the perfect yoga class. read more

Classes have been wonderful. Staff are very friendly. Props in good shape. Easy to book classes. Bathrooms could use an upgrade.

Loved. Loved. Loved. The rest and renew workshop. Instructor was excellent with clear instructions and a variety of adaptations.

This place is a true gem. Wonderful, caring, versatile teachers. A beautiful, clean, welcoming space for the novice and expert alike.

Friendly and supportive environment and easy to book classes! Nice variety of types of yoga to choose from for all skill levels.

Great instructors, clean environment and friendly staff. Monia's class is a must! Best class I've taken since before the pandemic, perfect blend of stretching and strength poses, and great pace as compared to other classes. read more

I haven't done yoga in a while and was really looking forward to a hot class; but I read the schedule wrong, so I arrived late. One woman was very helpful and sympathetic: oh, bummer it started at 10!.. Me: oh! I thought it said 10:30! My bad... , there was another woman, who I believe may be an instructor, basically said sternly: the hot classes has always started at 10am. (Uhm, Ok, not helpful is it?), I already said I must have messed up. Then I asked for a print schedule b/c I have a hard time reading on a screen / monitor at times and the same unhelpful woman said 'the schedule is online updated daily' Again, not helpful b/c that's not problem I am trying to deal with. Apparently there is a community class that I could try out today, but not sure I will. Maybe I'll just go across the street to the other studio. Perhaps they will be a little less pretentious or reprimand-y when someone makes a simple mistake! read more

Wonderful studio with wonderful teachers. I particularly like all the restorative courses. The schedule is great and I like how the classes start at 5:45 PM it's the perfect time. Highly recommend trying a class here. read more

I'm thrilled that JP Centre Yoga has begun offering intermediate/advanced level classes! (TLDR-- their intermediate/advanced classes are great, Tim and Dan Steel are awesome). When I moved to Boston several months ago, I was on the hunt for a while for classes that would challenge and delight. What's with the majority of yoga studios here only offering all all-level classes all the time? Through class pass, I really enjoyed one teacher in the south end, but her class wasn't really practical for me, given I live in JP. It was a journey of trying multiple studios and teachers through class pass... I decided to give JP Centre Yoga another shot (tried it when I first moved, wasn't thrilled) through class pass when my south end teacher recommended Tim Kelleher as a teacher. Boy was I glad I gave his class a go! Then, a few months ago, the studio began offering intermediate/advanced classes, and I was hooked! It also helps that I can walk to the studio in 10 minutes, which means even when I have low motivation to go, I can usually convince myself to make the 10 minute stroll. Favorite teachers here are: Dan Steel and Tim Kelleher. I enjoy their sequencing (each week, they teach different stuff), teaching styles, how they explain which muscles to engage while doing poses, their hands-on corrections, and their personalities. I enjoy that they pick a theme for each class and then how the class develops and works toward more challenging (and exciting!) poses. Also, a shout out to the body work offered here. I got an amazing massage with Hannah Landes that was really targeted to the pain I was experiencing and that made me feel much better! She really was good at finding the tender spots and working them out in a way that did not feel aggressive (unlike some deep tissue massages I've previously gotten). I appreciated her intuitive style and my guess would be that she has a unique understanding of anatomy as a yoga teacher herself (enjoy her as a teacher, but don't take her class because hot yoga triggers migraines for me). Lastly, they have great workshops that further allow you to up-level your practice. read more

I'm a fan for sure. I've been going to Back Bay Yoga for years (see my review) and this place has none of the posh superficiality that you get with the Back Bay crowd. The clientele also seems more diverse in terms of age and ability levels. This place may soon replace Back Bay for me on the vibe alone. So far I've only attended "all-levels" classes (hot and not so hot) with Kathy and Tim and they are both great. Tim especially, there's something incredibly genuine and joyful about how he teaches. I'm just sad that none of the classes I've attended have offered a headstand practice. I really want to shishasana sometimes ya'll! read more

I've taken the Sunday evening Flow and Restore class with Carolyn Little and a couple of All-Levels classes with Kathy Tarnoff. Flow and restore is a great description of that class, because it was incredibly centering and restorative. It was a great way to bridge from the end of one week into the start of the next. I found Carolyn easy to follow, and the practice was a good mix of athletics and reflection. The All-Levels classes are a great way to check out the place or if you have less experience with yoga. I highly recommend Kathy Tarnoff's classes in particular because she's easy to follow and is a stickler for alignment. I was fortunate in that the classes I've had with her were relatively small, so there was a fair amount of personalized attention. I love the sense of relief that comes from how a minor adjustment can make your body feel. Kathy gave this to me for several postures, so I feel grateful to her. If you're curious, I recommend giving one of the Community classes or All-Levels classes a shot. The prices are reasonable at $5 or $10 respectively, time commitment small (an hour), and if you don't like it, you aren't locked into a contract or anything. read more

It's difficult to give this studio a rating, because whether it's for you really depends on what kind of yoga you like. Read below for more detail. If you are a yoga A personality (e.g. into highly athletic, hot yoga), this place is perfect. If you're not, you won't find what you need here. Which brings me to the issue I had with this studio. After seeing that some classes were listed as hot, I bought their initial special, intending to go to the unheated ones. I happen to be one of those people who gets light-headed when exercising in heat, which makes hot yoga an unpleasant experience. Unfortunately, after trying two classes which were not designated as hot, it turns out that even those are heated above 80 degrees - not Bikram level, but still deserving of a 'heated' designation in my opinion. It wouldn't be so bad if some of the classes offered were lower pace/focused no stretching rather than flow, but there is really only two kinds of classes to choose from, all levels & fundamentals, and honestly, I did not see a difference. In short, I find Blissful Monkey across the street (which has classes with temp in the 70s & a lot more range/variety of style & intensity) more to my liking. read more
