Wonder Yoga is truly wonderful!…read more TL;DR: this place has the soul of a funky/unpretentious studio located in a modern boutique facility. The instructors are friendly, informative and pay attention to everyone in their class. They are really in tune with how a beginner experiences a new class (by reminding folks to relax their jaws, etc.) and provide modifications as a given for both beginners, advanced students and those with differing physical situations. I like that the instructors spell out different ideas for modifications or leg/arm positions without you having to ask for it. The friendliness extends to the other students as well. Students are happy to show you things, give you tips, offer to grab you a props before class, etc. The owners make a point to learn your name and are very quick to respond to emails. I started with a $30 30 day trial and immediately knew I would sign up for the VIP unlimited monthly membership. The VIP membership provides you with free mat/towel rental, a free guest pass each month, unlimited yoga, discounts on workshops and more. You are able to use a lock for free. I then upgraded to the VIP monthly membership + massage which equates to a $57 monthly 60 minute massage (before tip - a killer value in greater Boston). The space is absolutely beautiful. The studio is spacious but feels cozy with a black painted ceiling, mirrors and brand new wood floors. The downstairs has a spacious seating area, Wellness room for appointments, lockers (with free locks provided), changing rooms and tea. The bathroom is even stocked with hair ties and tampons!

Lotus Yoga is a gift to our community. Last year I signed up for their generous $27 unlimited pass…read morefor new students. When the month ended I got a regular membership and Lotus Yoga has been my sanctuary ever since. You will immediately notice that their two studios in Somerville and Arlington have absolutely no trace of pretension or condescension. Lotus teachers believe that yoga is truly for every body. They are all inclusive and accessible to the core. Ren founded Lotus Yoga after a career as a clinical social worker focused on recovery from trauma. When I first took Ren's Chakra Flow class I felt like it was the best therapy experience of my life. Don't get me wrong, it is also an amazing yoga class on its own, but it has been healing and transformative for me in ways that were not available in other therapy modalities I have tried. In addition to Chakra Flow, Lotus offers daily Slow Flow, All Levels Flow, and Restorative Flow classes. I love them all. Their teachers each bring their own authentic selves to each class they teach. Every teacher is unique and expertly trained. Do yourself a favor and sign up for their unlimited one month pass for new students. It is literally, and I never use that word figuratively, one of the best decisions I have ever made.

Not for me -- I prefer a more athletic practice and found the 3 classes I tried here to be very…read moreslow and not challenging, and without the opportunity to push poses further and make them a bit more interesting or challenging. I was initially quite happy to see a new studio in O2's old space and I had taken classes with Lauren when she subbed there a few times (she was trained at O2 and I believe taught there for a bit, before I became a member) and maybe I just didn't pick the right classes, but I would opt for flow classes at Down Under instead. That said, the prices here are much more reasonable! The cost of drop-ins and class cards at most studios are a huge barrier to making yoga accessible. 866855

The studio still feels like a second home to me. There are now more varieties of classes than ever before, the memberships are affordable, and the staff are friendly and knowledgeable.

I really like the yoga here, it's a bit cold now that the winter is creeping in for real, but Jenna…read morehas been responsive and kind enough to check in about it. They offer gentle assists, anatomically safe instruction (Jenna is meticulous about this), and the right balance of challenge and variation for all levels. I come from a different tradition than Jenna's training but have always left learning something new, and appreciating her style, humility and compassion. The space is warm, beautifully done with a combination of greenery, that reclaimed wood post and beam architecture, and clean lines. There's not a lot of Hindu influence here - their music selections are mostly ambient, modern relaxation or upbeat tracks that don't compete with instruction. Don't get confused -- enter through the Main St. door, as if you were going to the bank, but keep going into the building, and up the first half flight of stairs, you're there! This is a wonderful business in Medford, I want to help hang permanent decal signs on the windows, as it's really hard to know that studio is even there. I discovered it by accident when visiting a friend. Gem in Medford. Support a small business owner offering really good yoga with a sincerely open heart.

Wow-wee. I've been taking most of my yoga classes at Yoga Six in Wellesley but was looking for…read moresomething a tad hotter. The C2 class made me look like I had climbed out of a swimming pool afterwards. Not for the faint of heart (literally) but that was my fault - I should've started with the C1 class, which is less heated and slower-paced. PRE-CLASS: It was my first time doing CorePower and, I don't know, I was expecting a little more of an introduction/explanation when I checked in. Maybe I'm spoiled by the OrangeTheory introduction when the instructor walked me through everything and took the time to go over where everything was. Here, all I was told was that we'd be in studio __. I wandered around aimlessly and found the lockers, with signs saying locks were available at the front desk. It would've been nice to know that upfront but c'est la vie. Trying to be more zen in the new year. CLASS: Hot, hot, hot. Inga cranked the heat/humidity all the way up. I was a literal puddle about five minutes in. As a newcomer to CPY (but not to yoga), I got a lot of the cues mixed up; this is a studio-by-studio and teacher-by-teacher distinction but hearing the poses called by their names (instead of "crescent lunge with right foot back") took a while getting used to. Also, the playlist wasn't ... great. Some love ballads mixed with hard rock. Just give me the elevator violin music or nothing at all. The flow for the class was quick and fast-moving, with lots of one-legged variations, and you are encouraged to take breaks but the break itself was so short before the teacher would move on. It got so hot at one point that I seriously contemplated leaving the room. Bring plenty of water and one extra towel. POST-CLASS THOUGHTS: The studio itself felt cramped; the class was only about half-full but I'm not sure a packed sardine-type class would be enjoyable with so much sweat pouring out of every orifice. I did wish that, for savasana (aka, my favorite pose), the temperature could be turned down several notches. Or CPY could offer cold hand towels after (sorry, spoiled by Yoga Six). Also - there is definitely a sweaty funky smell. Like 8/10 on a scale of funkiness. Unescapable and inevitable, for sure. Sorry to keep drawing comparisons but one of the features that I like a lot about Yoga Six is that there, the ventilation seems much better. Parking: Abundant, free parking. This is probably what's going to make me come to the Fresh Pond CPY location over the other ones in Boston or Cambridge.

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.
