From the reviews

Universal Power Yoga is the BEST. I joined UPY in 2014 in Norwood and am excited about the new location in Westwood. A big plus for monthly members is the yoga mat storage. All UPY yoga studios are warm and welcoming, with a clean and friendly vibe! UPY yoga teachers bring a level of energy that is infectious.

★★★★★ — Eileen, Aug 2022

I have been attending yoga classes at UPY for the past 5 years and have tried all 4 studios and almost every instructor and have NEVER had a bad experience. Every class is thoughtful, offers modifications, challenges my body and mind and I always leave feeling healthy than when I arrived.

★★★★★ — Linda, Nov 2025

I have been coming to UPY since Sept of 2024, and I have to say that I love being a UPY member! Every teacher I have met has been nothing short of kind and supportive. Every class I take has allowed me to challenge myself and connect with other yogi's! I love that there are four studios I can attend at my leisure.

★★★★★ — Emily, Jul 2025

The classes at UPY are excellent! I am loving the sculpt and warm yoga and the instructors are just wonderful. Recently I took a pop-up pilates class that was fantastic! Thanks to UPY for the great classes!

Teacher training at Universal Power Yoga

Universal Power 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 Universal Power 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.
