By using the Google Search, I have been looking around for the closest Ashtanga

Yoga Center or classes in the Metrowest of Boston. So far, I found these

places:

 

www.ashtangayogaboston.com

www.backbayyoga.com

 

They are located in the heart of Boston or close by. If you were to drive to

Boston during the rush hour period, it might be of a hassle so I looked around

further to discover one more place:

 

www.mahayogacenter.com which is located 45 minutes away from Boston.

 

Does anyone know any other centers in Massachusetts? I just learned through

this site that Portsmouth, NH has a nice one.

Hi John,

I have been to Back bay Yoga. It is a wonderful studio. Kate has great energy

and wisdom. They also have an Early morning Mysore that seems to be constant and

convenient.

Yoga East in Portsmouth is Awesome. This studio is dedicated to Ashtanga Yoga.

Kimberly, Jason and Karen are true Yogi(ni)'s. I have to go and see them again

real soon.

Kind of like searching for the needle in the proverbial haystack... Good Luck

with your search...

Hi. I'm new to this group, and joined largely because I " m looking for answers

to the same question. :) I do know of one center, in Great Barrington,

Massachusetts that hasn't been mentioned:

 

http://berkshireashtanga.com/Welcome.html

 

Unfortunately, they are a little too far from me, so I look forward to finding

out if anyone on this list knows of other options in the Western Mass. area.

 

Just by way of introducing myself, I have been taking yoga classes for almost

four years. Over that time, it dawned on me that Ashtanga resonated the most

with me, and while I continued to take classes with teacher from various

traditions (including Ashtanga, of course!), my home practice is Ashtanga. I

don't have the full primary series yet, but I practice as much that is available

to me on a given day. Usually, that's around where they call it " half-primary "

in classes. I do practice modified versions of certain asanas, due to

fluctuating flexibility, and my short little arms :). But I joyfully reach in

the direction of every asana, and try to experience gratitude for my practice,

as it is.

 

I had been taking classes in the Big City, when I had been dividing my time

between places, but now I find myself in a location which is wonderful in every

way, except for the lack of ashtanga classes.

 

I know that it's a touchy subject, but I do plan to supplement my home practice

with ashtanga videos (I have seen many recommendations, but would be very

interested in a more in-depth comparison of the various ashtanga videos

available), and take classes when I can.

 

I hope I haven't babbled on too long! Best wishes to all,

jf

This is great to know about, it sounds perfect! Unfortunately, I personally

am in the part of Western MA that is equidistant (1hr 15 minutes) from BOTH

Florence and Great Barrington! But it's good to know, in case travels ever

take one in either direction, or in the event of wandering yoga teachers....
