The smell that is mentioned in other reviews has gone down dramatically since all participants are required to use 2 towels to practice. (Guess what makes a Yoga Studio Smell?... the answer is you.) I have had to stop a few times for medical reasons, and each time I come back they welcome me back with open arms. I personally would suggest a private lesson after you have been practicing for a month. I would also think about doing another one every year if not 6 months as you continue to grow and change what you need to focus on.

Yoga for you is a great little studio, very bare bones. Things I like include the owner, the…read morelending library, the water bubbler and the utility bathroom with the big sink. Also, it's nicely tucked away in a cool basement spot. Drawbacks to this include the coldness in the wintertime and the difficult to find location. I don't particularly like that the teacher sits on a stool in the middle of the front mirror, because it takes up mirror space in an already crowded room. There is plenty of parking in the lot across the street. Which brings me back to the difficult to find situation. Address is on Centre St. The studio is actually only accessible from Corey St (the one that has the lot on it). Traveling east on Centre St., take a right on Corey. The lot is one block down on the left and the studio is at the back of the lot on the other side of the street (which Yogis are not allowed to park in). Good luck finding it and when you do, relax, get sweaty and enjoy yourself!

Last night was my first time at firefly yoga. A friend and I did the gentle flow yoga with Theresa…read more The class was small and welcoming. Theresa geared each move to everyone's ability offering props and support for different moves. Theresa showed patience with us beginners while still maintaining a beneficial class for the more advanced students. The facility was clean and very pleasant. They have everything you could need. The atmosphere is very calm and relaxing. I highly recommend this studio. I will be going back.

I also like the spacing of the reformers and don't find them to be uncomfortably placed next to one another.

Another yoga studio hops on the Prana Power bandwagon…read more Welcome to HYP's Needham outpost, where I ventured for a 75 minute "warm" power class last Monday. As I entered the waiting area, the "hot" flow class was leaving, super sweaty and sticky. The girl checking me in was friendly enough, and the paperwork to get my Passport to Prana card swiped was quick. I can't believe they only have one changing room and a bathroom for each sex! Classes easily hold 40 people, many of whom who need to change into their Lulumon gear beforehand, and who want to get out of those sticky sports bras immediately after. So, it was packed getting in. I found a spot to lay my mat; they've got tape on the floor showing you where to line your mats for optimal sardine squeezing. Why these power studios don't have you stagger your mat to allow for a fuller range of motion, I'll never get. My instructor was Jordan, who was nice enough and didn't say too much touchy feely bullshit. I did laugh a bit when he referred to wimping out on the yoga pushup as "cheaturanga." He had an assistant adjusting, which was cool, but she was a little forceful and pushed me a bit too deep into the asanas. She also didn't adjust the same student's pose on both sides of the body. We went through the typical Sun A, Sun B, triangle, side angle, tree pose, bow, pigeon, and some back bends. I sweated so much I turned part of my white Yogitoes towel the black from my mat underneath. Gross. It was a decent practice, and just enough heat to really make me work. I usually don't practice hot yoga. I was feeling all zen and shit until I was heading over to my mat with the mat wash spray and a grabby student tried to take it right out of my hand. I didn't like the vibe from the students practicing there. But, if you're close to Needham and want to hop on that hot power yoga train, here's another crowded spot for you to try.
