Second, it's right done the street from my parents home. So I know where I'll be going to yoga when I'm in town (which is pretty much every other month). While this was not intentional, I did get a one on one class with Janet. I guess a lot of people were finishing up their holiday shopping at the time I went. This worked out brilliantly for me. Janet was extremely informative and patient, as she guided me through each pose. She gently corrected me when I was out of form and provided ways for me to refocus and modify. Poses that I am familiar with, she showed me tricks to improve upon. I don't think I've ever gotten up so high in my Cobra pose. There is just not enough amazing things to say about Janet. I will be back when I'm in town for class with Janet. Thank you!!!

I want to like this place, really. But....meh. That is how I feel about Flowforms And, sadly,…read morehow I feel I was treated. First class is free. Great! Been to many yoga studios in the Boston area. They are usually filled with warm people, wondering how you feel after class, inviting you back for another visit...At Flowforms? I. got. nothing. Not a,"welcome to our studio," not a "how'd you like class" Literally, nothing. I was so disappointed. In a lame (on my part) attempt to warm up the cold crew, I said, "Sooo, what's your name?" and when the response was, "Jennifer", I said, "Oh! me too!" Response: a slight head nod, raised eyebrows, and a very cold, "ah ha." Class was okay. Ended, not a thanks for you first visit, not a we hope you come back. Nuthin' These people are cold. A few months later, I decided to try again. Oh my god. JUST THE SAME. The visitors were way friendlier than the staff. THEY actually made eye contact and smiled!! I just really wish there was a decent yoga spot in this area. This does not fit the bill.

This class was by far the best barre class I've ever taken! The instructor, Juliana, was so welcoming, motivating and knowledgeable on proper form and technique. The class was a perfect mix of barre work, mat work, and weighted exercises - the hour class flew by. I feel like this would be a perfect place for barre beginners since it's much less intimidating than the typical vibe at pure barre, but is also an incredible, advanced work out for people who have taken barre previously. I'm so sad I don't live closer to the barre effect. I'll definitely be coming back to this studio any time I'm in the area!

Bikram Yoga might not be for everyone but it certainly is for me…read more Just a light background on Bikram Yoga, it is the same 26 postures every class. Instructors actually have the same dialogue that they are to repeat each class. Class is held in a room that is 104 degrees and very humid. If you have issues with heat you may want to be wary about practicing bikram. You face wall of mirrors and the instructor stands on a platform and recites the dialogue. It is much different then other yoga styles classes. I think that the heat makes it much easier to come into a meditative state. The first 5-7 classes are the hardest, but once you get used to the flow, used to the dialogue, you learn quickly. I would recommend if you are trying to for the first time to get a one month membership, so that you go a bunch of times. This is the best way to try bikram (actually any studio really) This Bikram Yoga Auburn studio is a great place. They have a TON of class times to choose from, especially in the winter when it gets really busy. The teachers all bring their own unique stories to the dialogue which is very enriching. You pick up something new every class. The teachers are all very friendly and love to answer questions after class. Sam, the owner, is at the height of this. He is friendly, engaging, and very knowledgable. He has his own personal story about healing through Bikram Yoga and it's nice to hear his stories in class, and ask for advice or any random question that pops into my head after class. It also is in a very central location, in Auburn right off of either highway (395/290 or Mass Pike). Would definitely recommend! Give it a try! Bikram Yoga has healed many injuries and helped people lose a lot of weight or just generally get healthier!

After randomly injuring my neck last week and it going away and coming back yesterday I thought it was best that I check myself into a yoga class for much needed relaxation and destressing. As soon as I walked into Central Mass I was put at ease. All of the ladies working at the front were very nice and asked me what I was looking for in a class. I decided on the restorative slow flow class. They have you take off your shoes before coming into any class as the floors creek and they want to keep it as quiet as possible. As I entered the class my body melted to the floor. Mandi took us through an hour and fifteen minutes of body strengthening and relaxing poses. We used straps, blosters and blocks to open up our hips, stretch our legs, and repair and restore parts that may have been aching! I loved this class so much that I decided to purchase the two week pass for $30 that is only open to first time students. It gives you unlimited classes and saves you a lot as a drop in class is $17. I've been back for two more classes since then and every teacher is amazing!

She is very patient and effective, giving detailed and thorough instruction for each movement. The yoga class I take is beginners and it is just the right amount of challenge to be absolutely satisfying. She has extra mats, ropes, blocks and all the essentials you need, though I suggest getting your own mat eventually. The class starts with a gathering of awareness that continues into the movements until you feel a connection to the body that hasn't been experienced before. There is an inherent spiritual presence felt when taking her classes as compared to anywhere else, which I believe is due to her mastery and years of practice. This is true yoga as intended to be taught, not the new trendy fitness versions we have today, where teachers have no experience, they just have abs. This yoga will keep you fit but also achieve the opening of the heart and uplift want of the spirit as it is intended to do. Ann is a really special resource and I highly recommend taking her classes!
