Soma Yoga is a quiet oasis amidst the hustle and bustle of our vibrant North End community.
Our studio is a beautiful, light filled space run by a group of hard working women. We are supported by our incredible team of teachers, healers, and our beloved front desk crew. We are a hub where healing happens and friendships are made. We are a refuge from your busy, city life.
Soma is founded on the premise that yoga is about personal growth and self-realization. We are a collaborative healing community with many modalities to foster your spiritual well being. We are here to support you in living more compassionate, inspired, and meaningful lives.
We recognize there are multiple ways to approach movement and that’s why we offer a wide variety of styles and levels of ability.
