I had been practicing yoga for a while before I moved to Boston. I struggled during my first few…read moreyears in Boston to find a studio that I actually liked. Some were good classes, but the actual studio space was too small or not well kept. The cookie cutter yoga chains sprinkled around Boston provided students with no actual yoga growth and (spoiler alert) they teach essentially the same class over and over for an absurd amount for a membership. When I finally found Radiant Yoga, I found a studio that was spacious, clean, and filled with a community of extremely knowledgeable teachers that never teach the same class twice. My favorite part about Radiant though, is the part that I didn't know I was looking for. I didn't know how much the community at Radiant would shape me into the yogi and person I am. I've made so many friends who are teachers and students through this studio. It's given me a fresh pair of eyes to my own wellness practice in a way I'll always be grateful for it. So...I guess what I'm trying to say is, if you're looking for a small, dingy, studio with teachers that don't confidently know their down dog from their up dog, then Radiant Yoga isn't the studio for you.

This yelp is for Matt and Maggie at The Handle Bar South End location…read more I hate cardio. Kind of always have. I took a class at the suggestion of a friend and I'm so glad I did. As I've gotten older (40 in 9 months but whos counting) I've been more into mobility exercises like barre and yoga. All with higher reps with lighter weights or body weight. Cardio but not really cardio. Long story long, what was working isn't fully addressing my current needs. I needed a shakeup and this foots the bill. I have loved Matt's and Maggie's classes. I love the loud music, and honestly choose my classes based on it and which if these two are teaching. I love how dark it gets in there so I can "recover" at my own pace between songs and I swear no one is looking at me, half the time I'm not sure I can see anything to my left or right...they do play with the lights (as motivation I assume), you're really only up against yourself. These two are so energetic and postive they really have changed my headspace...especially about cardio lol. My literal starting heart rate/zone was red/180+ on average. Not my Apple Watch telling me to calm down haha. My current heart rate/ zone is around orange/160+ on average after 2-3 classes over the last 3 weeks each...which in itself says a lot. And I burn 650-750 active calories which is about 700-850 calories per class. And it delivers the right amount of kumbaya for my taste. Not one for niceties but love a good..."if you're ready to stop you're doing great, stay in there, you can do anything for ...." That kind of kumbaya feels authentic and motivating. Matt and Maggie also have these infectious laughs and little anecdotes that making you stay in it. I love the indirect ways these two instructors curate their classes for what feels personally done for me...half personal introspection and half taking the piss. Like, they feel like friends...but the kind you call at the 13th hour to hide a body, you know, the best kind of friends. It can't be easy making a new playlist and new spin routine every single class. They deserve more than just this yelp review. Music 5/5 Atmosphere 5/5 Instructors 6/5 PSA: Because I'm new to the spin world, here's some helpful hints: You can get clip-in bike shoes there for no extra charge, so I walk in with socks and slippers. They give you a towel to wipe away sweat (also kinda nice to throw over your handlebars for extra grip). I like the higher numbered bikes, I can see the instructors better and I feel tucked away just enough. If you're looking to switch it up, spin has been wildly fun and effective. I love these two instructors. Take their classes specifically but I'm biased. Trust the process, it's been cathartic and beautiful. Thank you Matt and Maggie...for everything big and little you do. You're inspiring. Truly a fan girl already.

The front desk staff member was very friendly, and as a first time visitor, I found the check in…read moreprocess was relatively straightforward (had to complete 2 forms as a Class Pass member). There was, however, the most equipment I had to get for the Sculpt class that I've ever had to get (a resistance band, ankle weights, a mat cover, a towel, and 2 sets of light and medium weights) which took up a lot of space. The class was also totally full on Sunday morning, so the room felt rather cramped. As a taller person, I had to stagger when extending my arms, and the mats were a bit short for me, so part of my body was off the mat, encroaching another row. The exercises were great, and I really liked the class overall, the energy, and the instructor, but the space was too crowded, and it might be nice to simplify the amount of equipment needed or not have to switch so much between putting on/taking off the equipment.

The class really helped to stabilize the imbalances in my body. My turns have been faster, I've been more steady in my dance shoes, and my muscles are much more defined without lookIng bulky.

No matter what your fitness background is, this class will transform you. I highly recommend getting the unlimited pass!! Self care is the best care.

I have never taken yoga before, having said that, I have had plenty of lousy teachers in other…read morefields, and I can spot a good instructor when I see one. Roni Brissette is a certified Iyengar Yoga instructor. I feel that Roni is a very patient teacher who has the knowledge and experience to help you take your Yoga to the next level, if you wish, or to gently introduce you to the art. Her classes are very friendly and welcoming, and her studio is cozy and feels like a safe retreat after a tense day, as it should. She also offers 'Yoga to Go' individual instruction at your home or workplace.

Roni Brisette's teaches Iyengar style yoga. I attended a lot of yoga classes in many different…read morestyles (Ashtanga, Iyengar, Hatha to name a few) and I think Roni is very good. She gives individual attention to her students, demonstrates the poses and gives clear instructions. Her classes are playful, fun and different. I don't agree with a previous reviewer (Des. L) that her classes are only for novices. I have been practicing yoga for about 20 years and I still enjoyed the pace of the classes, their substance and the level of difficulty. Her studio is based in the basement of her home and because of that, there is limited natural light. Also, the space is not that big and although Roni tries very hard to make sure all of the students see her demoing the poses, the view is obstructed by several large columns in the middle of the basement. While I truly enjoyed Roni's classes, they are on the pricey side. The drop in rate is $25 and 8 and 16 class passes must be used within 2 months. 8-class pass is $170 or $21.25 per class and 16-class path is $300 or $18.75. In comparison, "yoga in the village" just down the road charges drop in rate of $15 per class and 10 class pass is only $130 ($13/class).

I'm not sure I'd join for the price, considering it didn't seem like there were other options besides yoga there, but it could make sense for someone who's really into yoga!

As we walked in we were greeted with 3 flights of stairs before getting to the entrance. We love a little workout before moving lol. Upon entrance into the studio I immediately felt at home. I could definitely see myself hanging out at this studio if I lived in Boston. They have a retail space, lounge area, changing area, locker area, area with information about each instructor, and 2 studio rooms. The studio seemed as diverse as Boston is with a handful of POC in the studio while I was there. They have high ceilings, exposed brick and wood floors --it's really a vibe. They have ample amounts of props and class formats including yin, heated yoga and Pilates fusion. We enjoyed our yin class it was just a bit packed so you constantly had to watch where you were putting your arm. Overall I would recommend, it's a beautiful space. And a plus you can get dessert from the many bakeries that are within minutes of the yoga studio.
