From the reviews

I had the pleasure of taking a yoga class with Maegan yesterday evening and it was one of my favorite sessions - Maegan's calm demeanor, thoughtful options, focus on breathwork, and 1:1 hands-on adjustments at the end of the session had me feeling so relaxed and rejuvenated. The space is also so cozy.

★★★★★ — Rebecca, Dec 2024

A warm and welcoming space to practice. The classes are moderately tough, active classes, which I LOVE. You get a great workout. All the teachers have their own style, and everyone is SO welcoming compared to the handful of other studios I’ve practiced at in Cambridge over the last 5 years.

★★★★★ — R, Nov 2019

My first yoga studio experience and it’s been a fantastic one. I’ve felt comfortable and welcome since class one. Good variety in the classes, friendly for both beginners and more experienced folks, and all of the instructors I’ve taken classes with have been warm, helpful, and encouraging.

★★★★★ — Austin, Apr 2024

I love this place: This is the best yoga studio I've been to, and I don't say that lightly. I've done yoga for 15 years, across most styles, across the US, for both meditation and athletic training.

Teacher training at Be. in Union Yoga

Be. in Union Yoga comes up for teacher training — confirmed on their own site. If you're thinking about becoming an instructor, a few things are worth asking up front. First, which certification the program leads to — most hot-yoga trainings are Yoga Alliance registered (RYT-200 or RYT-500), and the style matters: a Bikram or hot-power lineage trains differently than a hot-vinyasa or sculpt one. Second, the schedule and prerequisites — cohorts often run in intensive weekend blocks or over several months, and many studios want you practicing regularly there first. Third, cost and payment plans, and whether tuition includes an unlimited membership for the training period. Teacher training is a real commitment of time and money, so it's worth a call or an info session before you enroll.

Your first hot yoga class at Be. in Union Yoga

Nervous about your first hot class? Almost everyone is, and a good studio expects beginners to walk in the door. Here's what to know. What to expect: the room is heated, so it feels intense for the first few minutes — rest in child's pose any time you need to, no one will bat an eye. Hydrate: drink water through the day before class, not just as you arrive, and bring a bottle. What to bring: a mat and towel, water, and a change of clothes; wear something light you don't mind sweating through, and skip a heavy meal in the couple of hours beforehand. Arrive 10–15 minutes early to sign in and set up. It gets easier fast — most people say their third class feels completely different from their first.

Heat and intense exercise aren't right for everyone — if you're pregnant or have heart, blood-pressure, or other health concerns, check with a doctor before your first hot class.
