This place is suburb. I had never been on a megareformer prior to a few months ago, and I really…read moreenjoy the workout. I've been to both the Boston and Wellesley locations (depending on if I want to take the T, or if it's not rush hour it's easy to get to Wellesley), and I have to say that the Wellesley location is esthetically much nicer than the Boston location, which isn't surprising since it's bound to be more spacious and open. This is a beautiful studio with a separate sitting area, mirrors, large windows, and hard wood floors. I've had a number of instructors and they have all been great. It's nice that they can add their own spin on the workout, and while they work your whole body, some definitely have an emphasis on legs or abs. The 45 minutes go by FAST since you're constantly switching up the movement. It's hard and you're pretty much destined to be sore the next day, but definitely not in a bad way. The workouts are all able to be modified so these classes are good for just about anyone. If you have never been on a megareformer I definitely recommend checking it out! They look daunting at first but the instructors talk you through each position and whatnot, so it's not like you're looking around wondering what's going on.

Mara is very careful about my creaky back, yet gives me challenging and a variety of workouts. Yes, the studio is small, but it is carefully designed. I never have trouble focusing on my workout.

Patti is an instructor extraordinaire! Several friends recommended her, and I have not been…read moredisappointed. I have been a client for 4 years. Patti's workouts/routines are customized for each client. She accurately assess needs and builds unique routines to meet those needs. She tracks progress and builds on that progress, so that not only are my routines unique to me - no two sessions of mine have ever been the same. When the pandemic hit, she seamlessly transitioned to online classes. She was able to replicate routines that had used machines with handheld equipment that I either had, purchased, or borrowed from Patti. (yes - she has loaned out her own equipment so that clients can continue to work out). I have no hesitation in recommending Patti - and can't wait to get back into the studio to work with her in person! Nancy - Needham, MA

I joined this place a couple months ago and for the most part absolutely love it. It's a tough…read moreworkout that gets harder the longer you do it. Not easier. The instructors are great and extremely supportive, helping you modify exercises if you are injured, or just weak in certain areas. However, one thing totally creeps me out. The number of people who walk into the studio barefoot. There is a sign that states that closed toe socks are required in the studio. But that doesn't stop the self-entitled Swellesley moms from trotting in barefoot, going to the back room to grab there equipment, then walking back into the studio to sit down and gossip with their friends (who saved them a spot like at the High School lunch table). Then getting around to putting their socks on. We spend lots of time on the floor - planks, sit ups, stretching. I don't want to lie on the floor and get athletes foot from some Swellesley Trophy Wife.

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.
