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. Our teachers come from many different backgrounds and all have something unique to offer. We have some of the most highly trained teachers in the city and we are confident you will find a teacher that resonates with you.

After their beloved North End yoga studio decided to close its doors in the wake of Covid, Soma founders Amy Leydon and Gina Schaak, decided to step in and save the sacred space. Amy and Gina are North End moms and great friends. Amy has been teaching yoga in Boston for over 20 years and is the Director of Soma. Gina handles all the magic behind the scenes.
