Yoga Nearby: Inner Strength Studios

Channel your inner warrior as you sweat, strengthen and tone at this local hot yoga spot.

Located at 309 Main Street in Watertown, offers Vinyasa flow style yoga instruction in a studio heated to 90 degrees. Classes focus on a series of poses linked with breathing to provide cardiovascular benefits, as well as building strength and muscle tone.  

Vibe: The main studio is large, clean and fresh smelling. Having limited experience with hot yoga, I was happily surprised by how good I felt after the class. I adjusted to the heat as the class went on, and rode the high of the great feelings it produced for the rest of the day. I can see how this practice would be beneficial over time both physically and emotionally. The Yoga Basics class taught by Laura gave enough instruction for me to feel comfortable being new to the studio.

Cool factor No. 1: Various services including massage, acupuncture, and personal training are also offered. New student special pricing is available as well lockers for use during class.
