Usually yoga classes feel pretty impersonal to me because the instructor stays in the front and rarely goes around to correct posture or positions, so you never know if you're actually doing everything correctly. Brahmi not only demonstrated the moves, she walked around and corrected a lot of people's stances, giving them tips on how to make a stretch more effective or comfortable. If you're a beginner to yoga, TriYoga is the place for you! I could actually feel my back pain improve throughout the lesson and I felt great afterwards. The studio is conveniently located with lots of street parking. I think there may be a lot, but I just parked on the street where there is four hour parking. It's a shoe-free environment the moment you walk in (which I love) and the atmosphere is very calm and relaxing. There's tea available if you want some. Inside, there is a mediation room (where there are free meditation classes on Sunday morning), two yoga studios, a big coat room, and four bathrooms (though one was out of commission due to a broken lock). I had a Nift deal for two free classes, so I arrived 15 minutes early to sign up for the class I want, but otherwise, it looks like you can just book the classes online. Prices are fair, being about $20/class; there's a beginner's deal where 5 classes are $25 total. This place is a gem and I definitely recommend!

Yay, another visit on my Passport to Prana card!…read more I wouldn't normally make the trek from Somerville to Wellesley, but this studio is maybe 15 minutes from my office in Needham, and the yin yoga/meditation class sounded like it could be just what I needed last Tuesday night. I made my way to Laughing Dog, which is in the same building as the decrepit Wellesley Driving School, of which I am a proud, accident-prone graduate! So, you go inside and the building is old and gross, but inside the studio, the space has really been made up nicely. Cynthia, my instructor, was very welcoming and informative as I signed in and got myself situated. What I didn't know upon going in was that yin yoga is a verrrry slow, low-impact practice; holding twists and other restorative poses for periods of time as she talked us through muscle release and general relaxation. We were able to come into one downward dog, too. The class ended with a long, silent meditation. Not bad, and I know the studio offers other (mainly anusara and vinyasa) classes. Kinda odd, but they charge different amounts for different length classes-- so a 60-minute class card would cost less than a 90-minute one. Guess I got my free money's worth going to a 90 minute class! Moral is check out this studio if the location is convenient. Seemed nice enough and likely offers something for nearly everyone.

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!

Tooooo hot. I get the theory of sweating out toxins and…read morefocusing on nothing but breathing and being present....but for 90 minutes today, I couldn't help but wonder why I was so moist as I sweated, wiped my face with a t-shirt, looked at the shirtless men next to me jealously, and sweated some more. I've recently been to a couple of heated yoga studios, and they were not as hot as this one...I'm guessing 92-94 degrees. Now, if I'm just a wimp, that's fine. Anyhow, the studio itself is a little hard to find (its entrance is really on Church St, the street behind Central), but it's spacious enough. I was underwhelmed by the enthusiasm of the girl checking me in; she didn't really welcome me and then asked if I needed anything without even telling me the general direction in which I'd find the studio, restrooms, etc. I did notice the sign advertising a cost of $1 to fill your water bottle with poland spring bubbler water, so I made my way to the bathroom and used the tap. Other fancy waters are on offer, and they rent mats, towels, and Yogitoes (which was cool). I attended Pilar's 90 minute power class, and she was good about talking us through class but spent a lot of time talking about the heat and how we should push through it....which only reminded me that my ass was sweating off and I was hopefully losing tons of water weight. We ran through a handful of sun salutations and some other standing poses and balances, and then focused on back bending and stretching- similar to the 'en vogue' power classes I've experienced at Prana Power. Not bad, but I wasn't able to focus as well as I usually can for some reason. Also noticed pilates stations(?) and a sauna on my way in. Based on my experience, I'd recommend getting here at least 10 minutes early to grab a good spot. Also worth noting we started about five minutes late, but came out about 15 minutes over...so you are definitely getting your full 90 minutes. Mehhhh.

I have never taken a class here with anyone else and I've never been in a crowded class so I can't speak on any of that. I used to go a lot a few years ago and came back for the first time during my winter break from college. That class made me wish I was going to a college closer to Wellesley so I could pick up my Wednesday routine again. Only cons in my experience: 1 shower, no towels, and the room can get stinky because the ventilations isn't that great.

You will get a workout. Maria, the owner and one of the instructors, is extremely friendly, and helpful. There are two showers, and people are usually pretty respectful with how long they spend in the showers. The changing room is pretty much open space. I'm not that "free", so I usually duck into the bathroom stalls to change. You have to expect that there is a certain smell for a yoga studio where the exercise is sweat your balls off for 90 minutes in 105 deg room, but this studio makes effort to keep the place welcoming. They updated the carpet and steam-clean the space. I also like there is enough space in the studio to spread out. There are enough classes at different times. You are never on top of each other, where you have to sweat on another person's towel, or vice versa.

I have been coming to Hometown Sweat since they were in their old location on Huron Drive…read more Honestly, the vibe has changed since reopening in the new space. Not only is the heated room smaller, it smells ripe all the time, the staff are forgetful and sometimes moody, some of the patrons are rude, the continuous waitlists are annoying, and the "feeling of community" is all a farce. I enjoyed the Sculpt classes taught by Sami on Thursday mornings but due to my schedule, I had to resort to the noontime class taught by an instructor who is consistently forgetful. It has become a running joke among her students whether she's going to remember the right side plank or hydrant after completing the left side or vice versa. The biggest issue I take with this studio is this idea of community and their so-called studio rules. They are unwritten (but apparently are stated rules). If you ask an instructor about these unwritten rules, beware... you could be considered aggressive for asking...and have your membership canceled without even a conversation. What are these unwritten rules you might ask? Surprisingly, these unwritten but stated rules that everyone should know or be able to hear in a crowded room with blasting music and loud conversation is about the positioning of students in the studio when it gets crowded. Of course, this might seem obvious that one would stagger with their neighbor if they felt like there was any danger to oneself or the neighbor. But no...these unwritten rules state that the staggering is led by the person on the complete opposite side of the room. For example, if you have placed your mat in the farthest right corner of the room by the mirror, it is your job to follow the lead of a person on the complete opposite side of the room, someone you cannot see, especially given how crowded the studio is which is why there is staggering in the first place. This happened to me. Another class member came up to my mat at the end of class and confronted me because I did not follow the "rules" to give her daughter enough space. She yelled at me in the class and was very aggressive to me, telling me that she was going to have the instructor explain to me these "rules". After I cooled off on my mat, I found the instructor and asked her about these "rules". She informed me that these "rules" were unwritten but stated at the beginning of each class. I cannot remember ever hearing that these "rules"even existed, maybe because she might have forgotten to say them that day, maybe because I couldn't hear her over the music and the conversations that were happening, or maybe something else. But my asking clarification on these rules became an issue and rather than understanding the facts about the situation, the owner (who was not even present) left a voicemail that my membership was cancelled. I sent an email explaining my side and to express my disappointment about her lack of a thorough review of what happened from all parties , and asked her to provide a written explanation of the cancellation without a review. I also asked that "rules" should be written and not just stated. Not only was I the one who was treated aggressively by another member, but the owner's complete dismissal of their own community member without a thorough review negates the whole "community" that she sold us on, and to do it all over voicemail. She has yet to respond to my email, but left another voicemail. Who does that?
