It can be hard to find the perfect yoga studio. If you go to one that is too crowded, then you might not have enough room or be able to get personal help from the instructor. On the other hand, sometimes the busiest spots are that way because they have skilled, experienced instructors who provide a helpful, personal touch. The good news is that Cambridge, Massachusetts, as well as the rest of Boston, has plenty of top-notch yoga studios from which to choose. Whether you are a new yogi testing out the waters or practiced with your asanas, the city has a perfect studio for you.

With some studio redesigns, as well as retaining its experienced staff of instructors, Down Under has only improved its strong reputation. The staff is always eager to help visitors figure out which class best suits their individual needs. Baptiste, Iyengar, and Heated Flow classes rank among the studio’s most popular.

7. Bikram Yoga Cambridge

Yoga Studio

As the name of this studio suggests, it practices Bikram, a specific style of yoga. Each class runs 90 minutes long, and students move through a series of 26 positions. This style tends to run on the hotter side, so it’s advised to go over proper hydration techniques before going. This studio is a great place to sweat out your stress and feel rejuvenated afterward. Lucas, the owner and instructor, is well-liked for his patience and assistance in class.
