I scheduled my first 7:30 a.m. Yoga Sculpt with Patrick last Friday and my Mother and I marveled at his smile, enthusiasm and energy. It was incredibly contagious! Thank you for being so welcoming, Patrick. Mom says she'll be back!

Generally the best instructors can be found here, and never miss a beat in terms of quality and care. For this I will continue to be a regular with a handful that I thoroughly enjoy.However, Jenny (whom I used to adore) singled me out today while on her microphone “whispering” to me “Could you take that outside” referring to me finishing up rolling up my mat. For context, I was in the very back of the room with no one on one entire side, then the other side started a row. Music was blasting and she was instructing the final steps to her course. She had stated and granted that around 6:23 that we could leave if we needed to get somewhere but otherwise she was going to continue stretches/mediation etc until 6:33p. I had another obligation so I was packing up cordially and as quiet as one can be, then was approached while she was on her microphone still to exit even though I was already in that process. On top of the embarrassment that she had already singled me out on her microphone in front of the entire class, in which I responded to “oh” she decided to walk over to the door and open it for me reinforcing that she wanted me out when I was doing absolutely nothing out of the norm. Ultimately, she shared no respect for me and embarrassed me for no reason which is such a shame considering I have taken her classes countless times, have even recommended it, and have never been kicked out of a class or showcased misconduct.

Love this studio! The CPY classes are great as usual-however, I liked this studio a lot compared to other CPY studios in Boston-- it's very clean, has great showers, has cold running drinking water, and perfectly sized workout rooms as well. I also love this area -- it's so modern and boujee, so much to do after yoga like get brunch or dinner :) Also it's a really close walk from the Orange line... super easy to access.

My fellow yogis, if you're someone who wants the bougie, city-vibe studio...I think this place might be for you!They got three major classes--candlelit, yoga 2, and a sculpt. This place is clean, modern, and what you'd typically imagine a yoga studio to be. The parking in the back is great to have and they have locker rooms with four showers, albeit small. That being said, as much I wanted this place to be my new studio, I won't be buying a membership. Here's why:Every time I'd walk in, I felt like I was interrupting the conversation happening at the desk. I was an annoyance. For example, my first time, I was so excited! I came up and was like, "I'm new! Can't wait to try you guys." No warm welcome, no good vibes.The classes are all or nothing in terms of difficultly level. Candlelight is very slow, more like a stretch with some ritualist song that goes on very long. You know, with the humming and big slow drum. Personally, not my taste. Meanwhile, sculpt was so intense I felt there was very little yoga and more bootcamp. Think, peloton class energy. But you might like that!But truly, it's the energy and the environment that makes it a no for me.There's not much diversity in the student base. I love a class with with older people, those with worn out mats...people wearing t-shirts, and those who are new and inexperienced. We're all here, different and unique people, coming from all walks of life to do yoga together. Here, I felt like I needed to have a Lululemon mat, a matching outfit, be under 30, and look in great shape. Once again, this might be you! You might love that. But as someone who care less about the fancy stuff, I just didn't feel like I could authentically enjoy yoga here. It was about appearances.And the only reason I write this is for those who might be very new and excited to try a new place, but are not a stereotypical yogi. I want to give you this heads up, so you don't feel intimidated or out of place. You deserve to be on the mat. Wherever that may be.

I have been coming to this studio for a few years and it is my favorite Boston CPY location, and overall wonderful studio. The classes and instructors are all awesome, and the studio and shower are clean and nice. They have a lot of classes on the schedule so I can always find a convenient time. It is located in the ink block so lots of stuff to do around the area too, and there is street parking usually.

So far I've been to one class here (will update if I go to more), but I've been to many CPY studios in the past. I took a Thursday evening YS class with Dan, whose class was very tough but also much more of a Barry's or Orange Theory vibe, as he was yelling/screaming encouragements like the whole time, was super energetic, and there were only snippets of flow in there. So keep that in mind if you were hoping for more of a calm environment. Pros: - Love that there is a small parking lot behind the studio! The walk to the from the lot to the front entrance is only a minor inconvenience. - There are a lot more guys here than other studios, and male teachers as well. In the class I took, there was an entire row of guys in the class. Good for encouraging more diverse student base. Cons: - Super packed. We were packed like sardines and I had to put my mat in front of the rack of weights and in between two other mats in front of me, so I was either bumping into weights or trying to avoid the toes of the people in front of me. - Super hot. I think I have heard other CPY teachers say that this location tends to be hotter than the other Boston ones. Our class started at 98F, whereas the other studios are around 93-95F. - Did not have cleaning wipes for your mat but they did have some sort of cleaning spray. - I did not see other small amenities like hair ties, feminine hygiene products, etc.

The first time I came here was on Patriot's Day during lunch for the Yoga Sculpt Bodyweight class. The room was packed! So packed that a few of us had to place our mats in front of the weights. The whole time was nerve-wrecking because either of us in that section could have kicked the weights and they could have dropped on our foot or worse, our heads. I was convinced that I will never come back here again. A girl from the class reassured me that it is normally not like this and that I should give them a try again. This week, CorePower Yoga is doing a one free week unlimited deal so I figured, fine, it's free, I'll give them another chance. This time, I noticed that the floor had tape markings of where the mats should go and there's a big black tapped letters reading NO MATS in front of the weights. They listened. I'm happy. The risk of injury has been minimized, if not eliminated. So, now back to the classes. The classes have been intense but in a good way. Good thing that girl from class told me to give them a chance, now, I am signing up to be an All Access Member. Deducted 1 star because of the first impression and the lack of safety protocols in the beginning.

Everybody was super friendly and the class was challenging but not impossible. Music was loud and upbeat. You may not want to get a spot directly in front of a speaker. This is the only studio I’ve been to where they required participants to wear a mask throughout the class. You have to bring your own lock for the lockers. Why don’t they just get the built-in combination ones? Was a bit disappointed they gave me a parking validation that ended up not working and I had to pay $10 to get out.

I really enjoyed Patrick's class- he had a great disposition, made me smile and I loved the breath work at the end. Ben also teaches a wonderful class that is difficult and leaves you sweating! This place is clean and everyone is always friendly. Big fan so far :)
