Majestic Yoga Studio

I did the Sunday evening Yin Yoga class through the ClassPass. Yin Yoga is super chill and you’re meant to hold poses for a really long time to get deep stretches. It was thoughtfully taught, and I definitely worked out some kinks in my back! Studio is comfortable and welcoming. I love this cute corner of Cambridge too. I would go back!

Terrible customer service and I also had the same problem with their Groupon. First of all I’m pregnant. I went to my first class there and it is a teeny tiny studio with only one room so I showed the woman my Groupon on my phone, filled out a form (indicating I’m pregnant) and she sent me into the class. The wrong class, there is another tinier studio out back and the woman failed to mention that there was two classes going on. I went to the regular class and didn’t realize for about 15min that I wasn’t in a prenatal class. I’ve done enough yoga to know what poses I can’t do so I just stayed in the class. When I told the woman the mistake after I was informed I can’t use the Groupon for prenatal classes. I didn’t argue then because I didn’t know if it said this in the fine print. Next class I came to I explained to the woman that I would be using the Groupon because I checked the fine print and it doesn’t limit the classes it can be used for. Then another woman spoke up saying she was having the same issue, then a third woman spoke up. They allowed us to attend the class and told us the owner would contact us about it (she never did). Again the woman at the desk failed to mention to someone that was knew that there was two classes going on and one of the women for the prenatal class almost went to the regular class. She has never been to yoga so she wouldn’t have realized she wasn’t supposed to do a bunch of the poses they were doing and may have injured herself. When I finally spoke to the owner she got defensive and told me the woman always tells people. I told her it happen more than once and she refused to believe it was more than a random fluke.
I just sent a complaint to Groupon and I don’t plan on going to this studio again. I didn’t get my money’s worth but I was so unhappy with my experience I’m just taking the loss.
As for the prenatal class itself, I wasn’t a fan. I’ve been to four yoga studios for prenatal yoga and I liked all of them, except Majestic Yoga. It was kind of stressful for me. There’s so many props and you have to use all of them at once. I felt like a 90 yr old pregnant woman as opposed to a perfectly healthy 37yr old pregnant woman. It was just way over the top with the adjusting and propping and everything, I found it impossible to relax. When the owner taught the class it was worse because she kept telling us to go to a pose in the yoga terms (after 7 yrs of yoga I still don’t know these so I always attend easy classes) rather than show us. We had to ask a few times. I won’t be going back. It’s too hands on for my taste. I just want to relax and do some yoga, not have someone propping and adjusting every single move I make.

Excellent instruction and a welcoming place.
«Set up with the small end of your mat against the wall.» Lindsay had greeted participants and asked about any limitations. Then she gave us a work-​out where we needed it. I did more than I knew I could and came home relaxed and refueled.
In the context of my crazy week, Majestic Yoga did just what I had hoped for.
The helpful staff were quick to respond (email & in person). A visitor in Cambridge for a week, I needed class suggestions and a lot of classes for flexibility of times. Majestic Yoga was the best fit. I purchased the amazing value (new student two weeks) pass and registered on-​line for a couple of classes. I made as many classes as my schedule allowed. Parking was always available behind the studio.
The actual Hatha Yoga class had 10 – 12 from me (senior beginner) to intermediate/​advanced students ranging from 20’s to 60’s, men and women. Lindsay used the wall to reach poses and adapt with props for beginners. My heart jumped into my throat when I heard handstand, but Lindsay showed me an adaptation I was totally ready for. Several students did full handstands. I know my half-​moon, first attempt ever, would not have been as effective without the wall. I think several others were free standing, but I was into my own zone at that point. My downward facing dog with Lindsay’s slight adjustment was better form than ever before.

Visited Majestic Yoga for a special all day Women’s Retreat. Topics included Ayurveda, self care and yoga. It was wonderful. Nice space. The parking lot is tricky, but workable. They have an awesome boutique as well. I would definitely return for an event in the future.

I’ve been going here for a few months now. When I started over the summer, I was just getting back into yoga after a 10-​year break and a minor injury. All the instructors were very accommodating and have helped me improve my practice tremendously over the past several months. There is a wide variety of classes (I haven’t even come close to trying them all!) and it’s easy to find a style that suits you. All ages, body types and skill levels are welcome here.

let me keep it simple-​i like the vibe here and the space is light and open even though small. lots of ind attention, and cool workshops:) The owner is great and she has great taste in what she sells, sml amt of clothing, etc

For some reason, the staff here does not pick up the phone. As in EVER.
I called 5 times to ask if I could show up for a Saturday morning class. Since they wouldn’t pick up the phone I just showed up. When I got there, the yoga teacher basically shut the door in my face. Horrible customer service. No concept of service, in a service business. I was kind of shocked, because Soni Yoga is down the street, and have always treated me well. I have no idea how this place could stay in business.
To be fair, the Yoga could be fantastic for all I know. I never went back.

Hubby bought me a groupon to try the yoga classes out since we live right around the corner. Having to been to other yoga studios in and around Cambridge, I was a little surprised to find only 2 students (including myself) for my first yoga class. It could be the classes I picked but having attended a few classes now with different instructors, I find that the classes here tend to be a little slower paced and smaller in numbers. It’s not a bad thing since yoga doesn’t have to be sweaty to be effective. I particularly liked Mona’s class.
Entrance is around at the back (sign is harder to see since front of studio is not lit at night). It’s good that Hi-​Rise bakery is across the street, so a cup of coffee and baked goods after yoga is always refreshing.

I bought a Groupon for this studio and I was excited to practice yoga, something I’ve never done before. I tried contacting the studio multiple times through calling, leaving voicemails and emailing in order to register for classes that would best fit a beginner. They never answer their phone and it took over four days to get a response through either email or voicemail. They emailed me asking what my best contact number and times are, then they didn’t contact me during my available times. It was very frustrating and disappointing.
I contacted Groupon and they refunded me the order. I find it ironic how stressful this process was, since yoga is supposed to be a stress release! I wish I could have written a review on the studio experience itself :(

I will admit, I probably go here more than anywhere else because I live right around the corner. But it definitely doesn’t hurt that my neighborhood yoga studio is also pure awesome sauce.
For some reason, it’s never crowded here. I can’t imagine why; Lindsay and all her instructors are very talented and care a lot about what they do. They all seem to hit that yoga sweet spot where they’re attentive to the mindful aspects without being all «floofy» spiritual, and where you get a good workout without feeling completely drained.
I don’t think I’ve ever had a class here I wasn’t pleased with, and I’ve brought along friends who felt the same. So go, already!

I was very pleasantly surprised by my visit to an Anusara-​inspired class tonight at Majestic Yoga.
When I was stuck at work late and presented with the choice of busting my butt and trying the Astanga class at my home studio, O2, or using a free Passport to Prana visit at this Huron Village studio, I opted for the latter.
I took a really lame anusara class at another studio once, and I was expecting a really easy, not challenging 75 minutes with no emphasis on flow. I was pleasantly surprised.
Andrea taught a class that did flow through some Sun As and offered me a new perspective on revolved triangle and handstand prep– fun times! Oh, and out of nowhere, she brought us into hanamanasa. The class was small (about 6 students) and at times got workshoppy (when we had time to go to the wall and kick up into handstands), which I don’t love, but tends to happen at any class time is given to practice an advanced pose.
The location’s fine and the space is nice. It’s very close to Soni Yoga, which I’d guess must be the studio’s main competition. What they’ve got going for them is a variety of styles from slow flow to Anusara to pilates and prenatal.

words cannot describe how much i love this studio. i started coming here before it opened as majestic yoga, taking private classes with lindsay. she is a wonderful person who truly cares about what she does. i lost touch with her (and yoga) for a couple of years, and then i randomly stumbled across the studio’s website about a month ago! i had no idea that she opened a studio offering group classes in a variety of different styles. i have been happily attending classes taught by lindsay, solange, hannah, and andrea and i feel fantastic. this is the perfect place for people of any age, experienced or inexperienced, you will feel welcome.

Majestic Yoga Studio is truly a sight to behold. As soon as you walk through the door, you walk into a bright space filled with light and perfect for practicing yoga on any given day.
Lindsay the owner has really put a lot of thought into creating a variety of classes to allow students the space and choice to find what works for them. An added plus is the little boutique of truly unique yoga clothing and accessories!
Definitely the best hidden yoga gem in Cambridge:-)
