Downward Dancing

A yoga class that moves to hip hop

ost yoga classes teach to you how to slow down, but Hip Hop Yoga at the Back Bay Yoga Studio will have you dancing your way through downward dog. Just try to hold child’s pose without shaking what your mama gave you. It’s the only place in town where you’ll work up a sweat, while reconnecting to your core. Insiders know that there’s only one hip hop class per week, and schedules change monthly, so check frequently to make sure you don’t miss a moment. Divon

Shhhh! Teacher Caroline Harvey also
offers a monthly class called Dance Church,
where you can dance like it’s revival time.

Shhh who knew

Like so many things, yoga in America began here, where it was first practiced in the late 19th century by a group of intellectual women, many of the members of the National Women's Temperance Union, who met at private homes in Cambridge to practice chanting, breath control, and concentration.
