I appreciate your zeal but Cambridge does a lot of things right relative to the rest of the country.

Memorial drive is a disgrace and the capitulation to handful of people over the entire city is inexcusable, but we’re much better than the alternatives.

I really (!!!) enjoy being a member there. I have the yogi pass (student discount), and go often. I did the new member special the first month for 50$ and it was very worth it with how many times I went. They have a good amount of class formats to do/try and I really like a lot of the teachers. Nice and clean studios. Nice community. Plus 20% off life alive is a pretty decent perk for me since I love their food :)

Mem drive was closed down to pedestrians today too

Thanks fuckin Townie boomers for depriving everyone. It was a beautiful day and the sidewalks were packed with everyone who would rather be on memorial drive rollerblading, skating, taking their kids out but no we had to accommodate some fucking suburbanites because we have geriatric assholes in Cambridge clinging on to power

There were probably 10 cars at a time on the whole thing

This place can’t do anything right, what a sterile hellhole MA is

I just finished my first month and immediately got the year pass. Porter is the location I go the most and been to Harvard only a couple of times. Great staff and teachers are great too. App is easy to use and classes are easy to book and cancel. I’m not a fan of LifeAlive so the discount is wasted but so far I’ve enjoyed everything else about Down Under.

I got my yoga teacher training there! I always recommend Down Under - there are a wide variety of different types of classes, and the instructors are all wonderful. (Gregor is my favorite though!)

I love Down Under. I’m not a fully time member, but I use classpass and probably go to Down Under 5-6 times per month.

Their instructors are super knowledgeable and run challenging classes where form is really emphasized. They have a nice mix of standard yoga, hot yoga, barre and mat pilates, etc. Highly recommend and my favorite of all the studios i’ve tried in the area

edit: typos!

I used to go regularly to their outpost in Brookline. Fantastic teachers, lovely sunny studio (I only attended classes in the upstairs studio). Fell off the wagon due to COVID, but hope to get back there.

FWIW, I study Iyengar.

An urban area is the region surrounding a city. Most inhabitants of urban areas have nonagricultural jobs. Urban areas are very developed, meaning there is a density of human structures such as houses, commercial buildings, roads, bridges, and railways. "Urban area" can refer to towns, cities, and suburbs.Jan 4, 2023

You guys are right, the downvotes have ruled accordingly. I’ll back down
