Breathe Deeply at O2 Yoga Studio

Although the instructors at O2 Yoga Studio always follow the Ashtanga and Vinyasa styles of yoga, their exact approach changes a bit each month. The studio provides its teachers a particular posture or tenet of yoga to highlight in their classes every month, and this central element guides the instructors as they design their classes.

You can always expect something new when you come to a class at O2 Yoga's Somerville studio. Start with a basics class if you're new to yoga or haven't practiced in a few years. The teacher will guide you through the fundamental postures and breathing techniques of yoga at a slow pace. Once you're ready for a challenge, check out a fast-flowing power yoga class. It incorporates backbends, inversions, and arm balances to make for a more grueling session.
