Karma Yoga Studios Review

Pre-pandemic, this was an OK place to workout and take a yoga class. Some of the teachers were woefully inexperienced and their website was never updated if there was a substitute for that day, so yoga was a bit of a crapshoot but it's close to work and has a sauna so I dealt with it.

However, since the studio has been closed it has been impossible to reach anyone by phone, email, or otherwise. I attempted to pause my membership over the course of 5 weeks and all messages were ignored. I ended up having to solve the issue through my bank, which isn't ideal but at least there was recourse. I find it highly unprofessional and unethical to ignore messages from members, particularly when they're asking for you to stop charging their card. It's an abuse of your members' trust to simply take their money without any explanation. Don't give these people your money.

the instructors are great, but the receptionist has been so rude to me every time that i've visited, so much so that i will not be returning to karma yoga. it's also far too expensive for non-members.

There was a white female employee around 50. She was the front desk that day. She made me wait in the line intentionally even though I was the first. She would not yell at you but be rude by ignoring your presence.

I was the first person got there. I was there to ask a question about my groupon and to take a yoga class. The front desk just blocked me with her answer that I am not the manager so I couldn t do this for you.

She was aware I was also going to pay for one time class to attend class on the day. Instead, she asked me to move my way for the next customer and help her to register for membership and process payment for classes. She was very friendly to her and chatted with the costumer about how much she liked her name and other stuff in front of me.

I tried to tell her again I was also taking a class, after she s done all the registration and chatting with the customer. She said to me I know and called the next customer who came after me.

I complained to her about her ignorance. And she looked at me and said I know you re takkng class and I am not skipping you . Then she called the next customer in the line.

This was so obviously that she was intentionally being so rude to me!! That was too much!! She just lied and denied what just happened.

She only served costumer coming after me and made me wait intentionally. I was waiting there for 20minutes. Instead of making a drama, I could only left since no one should be treated in this way. I will never! Never go back to the studio. Just want to let everyone be aware not maybe there s racism or other kind of discrimination issues in the yoga studio. They dont harm your physical health but definitely not sending out good vibes for improving your mental health.

Wonderful in all ways. The receptionist is most helpful, professional, personal, and very kind, the instructors are exceptionally skilled, friendly, motivating, and helpful, the setting is artistic and beautiful, the location in Harvard Square is amazing, and the fellow yoga classmates are wonderful, the owner and his wife are incredible representatives of all of the above (skilled, professional, personal, friendly, and kind). An all around amazing and rare place.

Karma Yoga; the Revolution Begins

Karma Yoga Studio offers professional staffing, a serene setting, state of the art equipment... but what makes Karma Yoga a truly remarkable business is it's charismatic, passionate, and transparent owner's. Recently I had the pleasure to talk with one of the owners, Jesse Winder, about the direction of Karma Yoga and Karma Revolution. He emphasized his vision of creating more then just a prospering business, but an environment that inspires compassion and understanding towards others. This is a man with tenacious work ethics and stands true to his morals. He is planting a seed for more then just another Yoga Studio, but a REVOLUTION, one that will greatly impact and inspire the community of Boston. I can only hope that some of his karma rubs off on my daily practices and profession.

I love the studios at karma. There is no mirror which lets me focus more on my practice and breathing and practice. I went to Rachel's heated vinyasa classes religiously; she switches up challenging but fun sequences that target different muscles groups and breaks down challenging poses into smaller steps and make them a lot more accessible for intermediate yogis trying to deepen their practice. The gym upstairs is clean and spacious. There is never loud music, grunting and dropping of weights. I always leave karma feeling strong, calm and energized.

This place has some of the best yoga teachers in Cambridge. Unfortunately, the HR/organization of the place is very challenging to deal with. I finally gave up buying class packs or memberships, because they always messed things up and never responded to emails and I was just too stressed out by it which is not the point of yoga. Also the schedule on their website could be much much much more user friendly. I still go once in a while to have a great class, but honestly I would go much more if things ran a bit more smoothly outside the studio. I now go more to another studio whose teachers are not as good, but where things always run smoothly.

Excellent place. Love it. Clean, well-maintained. Superb staff. The best gym in Cambridge.

"Of the paths to spiritual liberation in Hinduism, karma yoga is the path of unselfish action".

I really enjoyed this gym before the pandemic. There were some great teachers, and some newer teachers with very small class sizes. However, since the pandemic the management has COMPLETELY DISAPPEARED and have continued to charge my membership fees. Over the past months I have called into a perpetually full voicemail box, no one responds to my emails, and the doors are shuttered. There have been no email updates to members regarding future credits or reimbursements. They are stealing money with no respect toward their members.

Of course I understand its a tough time, but you can not charge for a service that you are not providing in order to subsidize your business. How's that for "karma yoga"?
