Lexington Power Yoga

Hands down, my FAVORITE yoga spot in the Boston area. An awesome studio, moderate prices and the BEST teachers I’ve ever had. Every class is unique and features a different focus. The teachers are phenomenal leaders of their practice and is the only place I truly appreciate the hands on adjustments. Lorraine, Jillian, Dina and Tina are AMAZING!

This is not really yoga. You can’t play ‘start me up’, not give any alignment instruction, and pack groupon mongers in and call it yoga. It’s aerobics and missing the soul that it started out with. I wish they at least let you know which classes would be blaring ‘simple minds’ and Stevie wonder. Just MHO but this doesn’t really jibe with real yoga.

I purchased a groupon for yoga and barre classes. I mainly took barre classes and loved it. I used the mind body app to make reservations and never had a problem getting into a class. I had 3 different instructors and they were all challenging and enjoyed each class.

LPY is one of the most clean and welcoming studios I’ve ever been to. As frequent Classpass user, I have been to many in the area. The teachers are all awesome although I really like Jillian’s classes. LPY is a gem.

I generally love this studio. I’ve taken both barre and yoga classes, and all the teachers I’ve had have been great. I really can’t complain about any of them, and they really each put their own spin on the classes so they never get boring. In addition, the studio is really clean (and so are the people!) and it’s easy to reserve your spot online.
The reason I’m not giving this studio 5 stars is that, in my opinion, the barre class capacity needs to be less than what it is now. The classes aren’t too crowded during the day but sometimes after work hours can get overly crowded. Another downfall is that the majority of the classes I’ve been to start 5 – 10 minutes late (but maybe that’s just a pet peeve of mine).
Make sure to bring your own mat!

i LOVE this place.
I bought a Groupon for 10 sessions and I’m so glad I did. I’ve been coming about 2 – 3 times each week to both yoga and Barre classes.
The studio is really nice and clean and the teachers are very good at what they do. I really like all the hot and warm classes offered as well. it makes it so easy to get right into stretches without warming up and leaves you feeling like you had an amazing work out.
If you’re looking for a great place to do Barre or yoga, i definetly reccommend this place.

I bought a groupon for LPY for 10 classes to try out yoga. The first class I took was a Sunday morning and very crowded, however, the class was amazing and I loved it anyway. The instructor was so nice and very helpful with correcting positions (my first time doing yoga). I love their hot/​warm yoga… you leave there feeling so good and refreshed! Facilities are very clean and staff are so nice!

Pros: Clean.
Suggestions: I wish «all» the teachers would introduce themselves at the beginning of the class. It is not the friendliest or welcoming atmosphere. If they are not practicing themselves during the class; go around and correct people’s positioning and encourage other ways to practice a particular pose so that those who want to do something more challenging can feel free to try.

Ah… lunges, lunges and more lunges. What happened to yoga! Left Prana and was sceptical when I saw most of the Prana teachers here but was hoping for more creative style. No such luck. Yoga is a workout for me and it is very hard to find a good teacher who is willing to use more poses, be more creative and able to challenge a more advance student. Yes, will drive to Baptise and O2. $ 18 drop-​in is very expensive. Surprisingly a new teacher trainee in a community class Pernille was able to give me a great workout. She kept the room temp @ 96 which was perfect for me and kept the pace challenging for me.

Clean studio with great teachers for barre and soul. I have only taken Barre and Soul classes so this review is just for those classes.
The addition of yoga enables more relaxation then a typical barre class. The teachers are consistently awesome and nice.
Easy to sign up online.
Only caveat is they are NOT flexible with groupons/​deals so just make sure to read the fine print and abide by it.

I have been going for a couple of months. The studio is clean with a bright inviting space and the instructors are good. Most of the classes are for all levels, so it’s difficult to get personal attention or learn new poses or advanced techniques.

I have been going to LPY for about a year now. I have tried many of the classes, from yoga to barre & soul. I love them all! The studio is so fresh, serene, and clean. Although it can be crowded, you never get a foot in your face (well, only once!). The people who go here are hygienic — you won’t mind sweating with them. I mention this only because I once tried a yoga studio in Somerville that was populated by at least one guy who didn’t bathe frequently and it turned me off of studio yoga. LPY converted me back. since then, I haven’t wanted to do yoga at home with a video — it’s just not the same! I always get a great workout here. I love that they always offer modifications — if people are really advanced, they get those options. Beginners can take virtually any class and they will get the instruction they need as well.
The people who work here are SO nice. I really treasure the opportunities I get to come here. If I didn’t have a full-​time job and a kid, I’d probably be here every day! It has turned me into a total yoga convert.

I signed up for a week of unlimited yoga and am having 2^nd thoughts with the hassles I’ve had trying to sign up for their classes online. I’ve left voicemails and sent emails and no one’s replied.
Any clues — is this studio worth the trouble?

I’ve been going here once a week for the last six months or so. I’ve been practicing for the last four years, but have done much of it at home, so I don’t have too much experience with studio classes. But I really really like this place. I’ve mostly been going to Gregor Singleton’s class, which I think is superb, but I’ve also experienced several other teacher’s classes at LPY, and with one exception (and I think I was having a bad day then anyway) I have really enjoyed every one of them. The place is clean and spacious. They have two studios: one hot, one not. Every class I’ve taken has been a hot class, so I can’t comment on the other studio, but the hot one is pretty big and there’s plenty of room to move around. They have two bathrooms with showers, and depending on how many people want to shower after class, there can be a bit of a wait to shower. But overall, I think this place is great, the staff is friendly and helpful and going here has been a great experience for me.

I went to LPY for the first time yesterday for Julie Sample’s Flow & Fly master class. First time at the studio, first master /​workshop class and a friend of mine did talk me into going. Wow! It was huge. I made more progress on tripod, crow, side crow — in flow!- than I could have imagined. It was also a hard core 2 hour session with great music.
If your practice is solid and you have no problem with pushing yourself at Baptiste or Inner Strength you will learn a ton from Julie.
LPY is a small but very nice /​clean studio.

One of the most expensive studios in the greater boston area. I am talking more expensive than top-​notch studios such as back bay yoga, baptiste and even south boston yoga. It is a little disheartening to pay $ 18 for an hour of yoga.
Also, some of my favorite teachers have either left or aren’t teaching as often at the studio.
=(

i recently moved to Lexington from NYC and immediately jumped onto the Groupon deal for this studio. I’ve been to eight classes in total and have been able to try a variety of teachers. teachers have always been friendly and approachable. the studio is really spacious and clean. in NYC i’m so used to practicing in yoga studios where the practice rooms are half the size of LPY’s. And the bathrooms are huge, with showers in both. i disagree with the reviewer below who complained about the heat – like my experience with Prana’s classes (quite a few teachers who teach at Prana teach here as well), I do think it depends on the teacher and how high he/​she decides to crank up the heat. there are some classes where i don’t sweat as much and others where i’m dripping sweat like a waterfall.
i’ve been practicing yoga for 4 years and can keep up with the hot open-​level classes. however, these classes tend to go at quick pace and are not really designed for completely new beginners – if you are a complete newbie, you may be better off taking few beginners’ flow classes/​unheated classes instead (i’ve seen some noobs who who have floundered/​look miserable in the hot open-​level classes and decide to walk out of the class halfway).
I loved Lorraine’s hot flow class on Thursday evenings, and have also been to a 7:30am flow class on Saturday (subbed by Chanel) that was solid. if you plan to go to the Saturday 7:30am class, just get here at least 10 – 5 minutes early for that class – it was packed mat-​to-​mat on my last visit. the only reason why this review is not five stars is that like Prana’s classes, there aren’t as many adjustments from teachers as I’d like and the sequencing can get a little predictable at times, but if you want a solid power vinyasa flow, this studio does the trick.

This place if worth the drive from Somerville.
Living in Somerville/​Cambridge area (where there is an over saturation of yoga studios) I was a little hesitant to venture «so far away» for yoga. I saw the groupon and a fellow yogi recommend the studio. I am so happy I went. The place is very spacious with two studios and a line up a yoga teachers that I like to call «The Yogi Allstar List.» Seriously, this studio has all of my favorite teachers from every studio I’ve gone to… How did they do that???
Anyway, check it out, you wont regret it. The «hot» classes really are hot, just be warned. The only thing I would say (and I think they might working on this) is they should really add some changing stalls, they have two bathrooms, which I hardly ever change in b/​c the lines are so long. If you go, just be prepared to have to put your sweats over your wet clothes after class or wait a long time to change.
Also, Lexington still has those meters that are 25cents for 1hr! Making parking so much less stressful :)

My husband and I checked out Lexington Power Yoga when we were home for the holidays. Having grown up in the Lexington of the 80s I was a little skeptical… yoga in Lexington? Above Rancatores which used to be Colonial Drugstore which I remember always smelling like cigars?
Very impressed. The spacious, well-​designed studio is well-​situated on Mass Ave while still feeling serene. I took an excellent prenatal yoga class from a very attentive, warm and knowledgeable teacher. My hub loved the hot yoga classes he took.
The studio also offers other wellness services like massage and nutritional guidance. I think they may need to take a look at their pricing model. We each paid $ 20 for an unlimited week of classes, which was perfect for our needs, but I can’t imagine paying $ 18 for a drop-​in class if I lived in town.

I tried this place out for the first time a couple days ago after buying a groupon. The studio just opened in October, so it’s still working out the kinks and generating business. It is a newly renovated studio, so it’s very clean and there’s none of that hot yoga studio stink. There are two large bathrooms with showers. I’ve spent a lot of time at Inner Strength in Watertown and Prana Power Yoga in both Newton and Woburn. The studio is much nicer than the Newton Prana studio, but comparable to or a little better than the other two in cleanliness and comfort. This studio seems to have several of the same instructors as Prana and Inner Strength, so for me it’s all about whichever studio is most convenient or has recently offered a groupon. The class that I attended was a typical flow, hot yoga class. Only four people showed up, so it felt kind of bare and the studio wasn’t as hot as I’m used to. My only complaint is that there are several windows in the studio with direct views of the traffic light at the Mass Ave/​Waltham Street intersection, so when it’s dark out, the studio keeps changing colors when the light changes. It’s a little distracting, but not a huge deal.
