Wild Ember in Arlington

Wild Ember is an absolute gem! After years of driving to a studio, I love that I get to walk to this one—it makes my practice feel even more integrated into my daily life. But whether you walk or drive, Wild Ember has that warm, welcoming neighborhood feel that makes it so special. The variety of classes is incredible. I originally started coming to get back into the heated flow that I love, but I’ve also thoroughly enjoyed the more restorative offerings. And just when I thought I’d need a gym for weight training, I realized Wild Ember has that too! Beyond the space and class options, what truly sets this studio apart is the teachers. Every single one brings their own unique style, knowledge, and warmth, making each class an amazing experience. And Joya, the heart behind it all, has created something really special here. It’s just the best—a place that supports movement, strength, and restoration in the most welcoming way. So grateful to have Wild Ember in the neighborhood!

I can’t say enough good things about Wild Ember Yoga Studio in Arlington. I wanted to find a gentle yoga class that would embrace all student levels. And I found that when I walked through the colorful Wild Ember doors. I started off with the Flow 2 Slow weekend class that Joya teaches, and she was so welcoming and helpful as I started to feel my way back to a regular yoga schedule. Since that first class, I have gone to classes from a variety of teachers, and they are all kind, informative, and helpful. I especially love the Slow Flow classes with Rejeni; her voice is so calming, and she has taught me so much about breath work and integrating it with my yoga flow. And every class that I take with Joya is exactly the right balance of gentle and encouraging to push me just a little bit further. Arlington is very lucky to have such an inclusive and welcoming yoga studio!

I absolutely love Wild Ember Yoga Studio! From the moment I walked in, I felt genuinely welcomed, which means so much to me as someone from abroad. This community has a unique warmth—Joya creates a space where everyone feels seen and included. The teachers bring so much knowledge and inspiration, making every class a chance to learn and grow. It’s more than just a studio; it’s a place to connect, recharge, and truly feel at home. So grateful to be part of it! If you're looking for a welcoming and inspiring yoga space, come join us! You’ll feel right at home. 💛✨

I've just completed a 2 week trial at WE and loved it. The teachers (Ginny, Joya, Tara) have been incredibly welcoming and encouraging. The classes are exactly what I was looking for: fun, welcoming, challenging yet relaxing. The yoga sweat and smile (Joya) and yoga/pilates/barre (Tara) classes are challenging and great workouts. I also loved Ginny's hot vinyasa flow Wednesday evening class (great way to cut the week in 2). The people attending the classes are also welcoming and non-judgmental - lots of different levels of fitness and different types of people. I'll be continuing with them as my trial ends now as I think they are a good fit for my fitness goals. (+ the hours work well for my schedule!) thanks for everything so far!

Absolutely love this inclusive yoga studio! From the moment you walk in, you're greeted with warmth and tranquility from the wonderful owner, Joya. The space itself calming and puts you in the right mindset for practice. The instructors are all incredibly knowledgeable, approachable, and supportive, creating a welcoming environment for all levels of practitioners. Whether you're a seasoned yogi or a complete beginner, you feel encouraged and challenged in every class. The community here is amazing—everyone is so friendly, and there's a genuine sense of connection and support among fellow students. It’s clear that this studio fosters not just physical strength but also personal growth and well-being. It truly feels like a home away from home! Thank you, Joya!

Wild Ember has the perfect level of classes for beginners as well as more advanced practitioners. There is a great diversity of classes, both in-person and remote. And the teachers make it a welcoming spot.

Such a warm, welcoming space! I was in Boston for a night before my flight back home and needed some yoga after a weekend wedding down in Newport. I took a class down in Newport which was meh and ego-driven, so coming to Wild Ember was like a breath of fresh air! As a student and a teacher, I love taking classes at new spots and Wild Ember is exactly what I love in yoga studios: heart-centered, inclusive, and authentic. Anytime I'm in the Boston area, this will be where I come to practice yoga. Much love <3

Wild Ember was my first experience with yoga and boy have I been spoiled. I am a monthly member and attend regular classes. Between moving to a new neighborhood , traveling, and unforeseen car troubles, I’ve recently tried numerous other studios to stick with my yoga routine when I couldn’t physically make it to WE. Unfortunately, NOBODY does it like this studio. From your first visit you’re welcomed and embraced into this community of yogis. The owner Joya greets everyone by name and every new comer is shown around and surveyed for their prior yoga experience. The classes aren’t just yoga workout sessions. The instructors carefully watch your form and offer corrections and modifications as they teach the class with attention paid especially to new comers. I have gained so much strength in my practice, largely due to their focus on teaching proper form. The studio is very inviting, not only in its decor but in the community and culture Joya has cultivated. I have found a safe space I can move my body, find connection, and feel at peace. I would recommend this studio to anyone.
