Loved attending classes at Down Under. I loved the variety of classes but focused mainly on the hot power yoga ones. Shoutouts to teachers Bendex and Elisa, and also Janet at the front desk for creating an amazing environment and a safe space for yogis.
This location is amazing because it offers sooo many different classes and all the teachers are really great in their own way depending on what you’re looking for. My favorite thing about it is that even in a physically demanding class I never feel ashamed or embarrassed when I need to take a short rest, i feel comfortable listening to my body because of the supportive space the teachers create.
I've been loving taking classes at the Harvard location of Down Under Yoga - the teachers are engaging and attentive, and it's a great way to unwind on my way home from work! Could not recommend this studio enough.
