From the reviews
Best studio in Boston (and possibly country?) Soothing ambience, large main studio so you never feel cramped, and most importantly, fantastic teachers. They offer a nice variety, but they all focus on a holistic experience and don’t treat it like strictly a workout class as you find in many other studios.
I went last night for a pre-opening free class just to try it out and it was exceptional! The instructor (Emily) was approachable, kind and extremely helpful (I am not really an avid yoga person). The studio is warm and inviting - feels like a home. I ended up purchasing a card of 10 classes!
A studio with spirit, humor, fitness and wellbeing. Looking for a great yoga experience? Check out the Union, you won't be disappointed. Lead by Tim and his amazing approach to being seriously dedicated to the practice while bringing a level of humor and occasionally a bit of snark.
There's no better yoga studio in all of Boston and probably beyond. From the physical space and classes to the teachers and community of students, it's such a special place. Tim and Emily put their heart and soul into Boston Yoga Union and you can feel it the moment you arrive.
Teacher training at Boston Yoga Union - Back Bay
Boston Yoga Union - Back Bay 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 Boston Yoga Union - Back Bay
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 (or rent them here), 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.
