Yoga: In the Now

By KJ Hamilton | Oct 2008

If you live in or close to the North End (or even if you don't-you should never need a reason to head over to this amazing section of Boston), check out North End Yoga. Owned and operated by Alessandra Miele and Alicia Orr, this spacious studio encompasses everything a yoga student could fathom; a Zen-like area in which to practice, experienced, friendly teachers and a giant statue of Genesha-the Hindu elephant deity-placed in the corner. You'll feel connected to the gods and your inner self as he watches your poses from afar.

North End Yoga offers a wide range of classes, from Vinyasa to Ashtanga to even Pilates and "Yoga Espresso" classes - an intense hour of practice in the wee hours of the early morning (6:30am, to be exact). Forget that shot of caffeine and try this healthy alternative to a morning pick-me-up. Download the Full Article
