I cannot recommend Down Under Yoga at Newton enough! Anna and Sophia are incredibly friendly and welcoming, and always making sure you find a beautiful, peaceful, and impeccably clean space. The instructors are exceptional. They are not only skilled but also genuinely care about giving you the best experience. Michael and Lyn class are so challenging and always left me with a feeling of accomplishment and calm.

Down Under has the best teachers around. I love how this studio is committed to teaching a variety of styles and teaching them well as well as workshops and teacher trainings.

I don't recommend Newton Down Under!!! I double-paid for this class and tried to communicate with them, but they have my credit card information, and I cannot dispute the charge. I did try to resolve it, but because your credit card is in their records, you cannot delete it permanently. Sophia was very rude to me. I was in the class, and she asked me to leave. I will never go back again . I used ClassPass to enroll in the class and checked in at the front desk with Sophia. I confirmed with her that the pass was valid and didn’t require any additional payment. She said everything looked good and confirmed it, so I attended the class. I have no idea why Sophia still charged me $76 for a drop-in class. She clearly doesn't understand the ClassPass system. She should have told me from the beginning, but instead, she said I was all set, which is why I attended the class on it, If she had told me at the start, just like in the first class on it, I could have left the class right away.

I have been practicing yoga for about 15 years and joining the Newton Down Under community has been such a gift. The teachers get to know you and help you develop your practice on a deeper level. I love being able to experience all of the different schools (iyengar, vinyasa, restorative), choosing the best fit depending on the day. The variety here is unmatched!

Down Under Yoga in Newton is an absolute gem and the sense of community here is palpable – everyone, from the staff to the students, radiates warmth and kindness. From the moment you step into the studio, you're greeted with a cozy atmosphere. Shawna’s classes are truly something else – they’re always packed for a reason! Her energy, guidance, and ability to create a transformative experience on the mat are unparalleled. One of the most unique aspects of this studio is the breadth of offerings. From Hot Power Flow to deeply restorative practices, there's something for everyone. I was especially amazed to find Iyengar Ropes classes here – a rare class that showcases the studio’s commitment to offering diverse, high-quality yoga experiences. If you’re looking for a studio that combines top-notch instruction with a genuine sense of community, this is the place to be.

This is such a beautiful studio. I usually go to the Brookline and Cambridge locations but this was so worth the visit! It’s really cozy, yet bright and the class line up is just so awesome. I loved every second!

I've been a student here for two years. It's rare you find a yoga community in such a fast-paced city that truly feels like a family. When you walk in, life slows down. All of the teachers are far more experienced than I've seen at other Boston-area studios. Great variety of classes and teaching styles. Reasonable prices and a solid schedule of special events and workshops. They take good care of their spaces and their students. It's no surprise they win Best of Boston year after year!
