The Sitting Room is a real gem located in Lexington Center. I had been looking for a meditation…read morecenter close to my work, where I could sit and meditate with others, receive guidance on meditating, and learn Buddhist teachings. The Sitting Room provides just that. There are sittings at lunch time, conveniently from 12:30-1:00. There are also later afternoon sittings, and some evening sittings. On Thursday evenings, there are Dharma talks, which impart Buddhist teachings. The room is beautifully appointed and very calming. I would recommend the sitting room to any friend or family member looking for support in their meditation practice, or for a meditation community.

Classes are very personalized so don't hesitate to let the instructor know if you're working towards a specific goal (in my case less tightness in my shoulders and neck).

I've heard they're doing some focus class series for pre-teens and teens - wouldn't that have been cool growing up?!

I LOVE NICOLE!!!!!!!!!…read more I also like a lot of the other teachers here but I love Nicole. A kind and gentle soul who knows her stuff. Anatomy. Love. Spirit. Gentle moves. A sweet and open space where practitioners usually practice in a mandala (hence the name?). It's intimate yet open. Has an amazing storage space for props so the studio isn't messy. There is a second studio space in back for the more athletic classes so the studio stays a sanctuary with no shoes or dirt anywhere. There is also an office and a massage therapist. This space is beautiful, well thought out and an must see. Get your asana here as fast as you can. You'll heal and open your heart within minutes of arriving. Seriously, go!!

I took an Iyengar class here a little while ago. It's on Mass Ave in Arlington, right next to a…read moreDunkin Donuts on the cusp of the town centre. They don't take credit cards and I didn't have cash, but the teacher let me take the class anyway and send a check later ($17 for a drop-in rate, though it's cheaper if you sign up for the class series). The class was well-taught -- the teacher knew her stuff and placed the correct amount of emphasize on anatomical correctness and breath. But it just wasn't for me. It's an older, less physical crowd than I'm used to, and the class really didn't feel like much of a workout. I know, yoga isn't all about asana, but I work in an office and sit nearly motionless all day. Yoga class is my time to move and sweat, and I barely did either. Afterwards I just wanted to go home and sleep. But if you want low-intensity yoga for relaxation and restoration, this is a good place. The space was clean and nice (though the ceiling felt low and gloomy and the room was cooold), and they have a wonderful assortment of props (mats, blocks, blankets, eye pillows).

I took 2 classes here last weekend: Yoga I/II with Chip and Nia with Roxanna. While both were…read moregood, I felt they were geared toward an older crowd and therefore not really what I expected/was looking for. Also, they charge $17 to drop-in for a class, which is a bit high for me. They do offer muti-class passes that you can buy, which brings the price per class down to $15 or so. I am interested in checking out some of their other classes to see if they have a different vibe. The Center's location is a good one for me, especially for weekend classes. Overall, people (instructors & patrons) were very nice & friendly.

So I'll start by saying that I bought a Groupon for this location for a relaxation massage…read more When I called on a Wednesday, they offered me an appointment on that Saturday, gave me multiple times with a specific massage therapist. I kind of found it a little bit odd that I was able to have so many choices so close to the date, given that usually my regular massage therapist is booked out weeks in advance. I thought I should try this place because it was closer and, well, I was getting a really good financial deal. So I'd called. when I went to the location in Woburn, it was set up really really odd. The front desk is in a large open area and had a gentleman sitting at the desk who seemed very uninterested in working that day lol. Very serene, but all the lights were blue? It was a little weird and offputting for me, but it did have that calming feeling I guess. My therapist was Hallie (sp?) A male, and I knew that ahead of time, and I was OK with that. He led me to a room in another part of the building. Next-door, and it looked like it was originally a bunch of small offices, and my room had windows? Covered with Window treatment so you couldn't see in from walking through the hallway. That set up was really weird to me. The room was nice. Nothing special, it was on the warmer side, but when I have a massage, I like to have the room warm. He did offer to turn the heat down for me, but I explained how I usually like it very warm. He then went on to explain to me how he does massages. He said he didn't like deep tissue, which, of course is not what I requested, but when he did "Swedish massage and a combination of pressure point massage". I'd never had that, so I thought I would give it a try, even though that's really not what I had signed up for. How was it? It was... Boring? I'm not really sure how else to put it. Is Hallie very adept at what he does? Absolutely. But for somebody who is expecting a Swedish massage where you have sweeping strokes of hands and kneeding your muscles for the entire time you're there, this was not it. I didn't say anything at all because I kept thinking well, he's going to eventually start doing the kneeding of Swedish part of the massage , but he never really did it. He would run his hands over my back or the "affected" area. Find a spot and put hard pressure on it. He explained to me that what that would do would bring blood flow to the area and help with the knot. While I appreciate that, it really wasn't what I wanted for massage. I wanted to relax this massage just felt very... Disjointed. Now I will say again that I didn't say anything to him because I kept expecting that the massage was going to go from this pressure point massage, to a regular Swedish massage because he had mentioned he used the combination of the two. And it didn't. He was very, very nice, and he's very knowledgeable about what he's doing, but the massage was just not really what I had wanted. I probably should've said something while I was there, but I didn't want to make him feel badly that he didn't give me what I needed. Again, I kept expecting during the time that he was going to be changing to the different type of massage. I guess, in retrospect, I should've asked for how he did this combination. But I didn't. I'm not sure I would go back if I had paid full price. If I was somebody who liked that type of massage? Absolutely because it was very thorough.
