After years of hearing about this location, I finally had a chance to practice at Harvard. This location attracts such kind people and is an oasis in the middle of the city! And you can get a 20% discount on healthy food at LifeAlive too! Highly recommend checking this location out.

Reviews
I’ve had a truly great experience. The staff are friendly, professional, and always willing to help, and the teachers are knowledgeable, supportive, and genuinely care about their students’ success. The positive atmosphere makes a real difference and creates an environment where people feel welcomed and encouraged. Overall, in one word: “awesome.”
Loved attending classes at Down Under. I loved the variety of classes but focused mainly on the hot power yoga ones. Shoutouts to teachers Bendex and Elisa, and also Janet at the front desk for creating an amazing environment and a safe space for yogis.
