Yes! The studio is currently offers both in-studio and online classes.  Most classes are hybrid classes.  Artemis has two studio classrooms to accommodate many students.

Look at our schedule for “In Studio” classes. Additionally, most of our classes are hybrid and online via Zoom.

Currently, it is optional to wear a mask inside our studio per the Watertown guidance effective October 21, 2021.

Artemis Yoga adheres to current state and local public health department policies. 

You can sign up online or come into the studio. You will be prompted to create a Mindbody account which is how you can sign up for classes and see your active passes.

Register for the class you wish to attend. If the class is online, go to the designated Meeting ID for the class you want to attend. Read our Zoom guide.

If attending an In-Studio class, please arrive at least 15 minutes in advance to allow you enough time to set up and be ready for class. We look forward to seeing you on your mat!

At Artemis, we have tons of options for beginners. You can start with Flow Fundamentals, Iyengar, or Restorative depending on what type of practice you are looking for! You can jump into any of our Vinyasa Flow or Ashtanga classes if you’ve had some experience with yoga before.

The best thing to do is to try several classes and keep an open mind. Every class at Artemis Yoga offers something a little different. No two teachers are exactly alike. Read the descriptions of each class on the Schedule page, and check out the teachers’ bios. Most importantly, remember that no matter which class you attend, listen to your body and go at the pace that is right for you. 

We offer warm classes, closer to room temperature up to 75-80F. We do not offer hot yoga.

For a more vigorous yoga style, sign-up for a Vinyasa flow class. With two studios on-site, Artemis offers a breadth of styles for all types of yogis.

Wear comfortable clothes that are not baggy so the teacher will be able to see your postures and help you with alignment. Wearing layers is good too, so you can stay warm in the resting poses. No footwear is needed: yoga is practiced barefoot.

Most people bring their own yoga mats but we do provide complimentary mats. Artemis Yoga has everything that you need including blocks, chairs and a rope wall.

For safety reasons, students are encouraged to use antibacterial gym wipes to clean the mats or any yoga props that they have used. Artemis Yoga also sells yoga mats.

Most of us wish we were more flexible! Starting a yoga practice will help to increase flexibility, build strength and it will surely improve your posture and balance. Try a fundamental, restorative or Iyengar class to start out and remember,  you can choose not to do a pose if it does not feel right for you. 

The same poses are consistent across the four styles of yoga we offer – what differs is how they are taught. Vinyasa Flow links the poses to the breath, and Ashtanga does the same at a more rigorous and structured pace. Iyengar focuses more on alignment, pose-by-pose. Restorative is slow, calming, and restful to release the mind and body.

Tried Artemis Yoga for the first time and LOVED it!!! I can see why it has such wonderful reviews. Beautiful, clean space. Teacher led a great flow class that made my body feel so light afterwards. This space brought back a special feeling I’ve had towards yoga that I haven’t been able to find since moving out of Boston.  Thank you!!!

I really love it here! I wish I'd discovered yoga the way it's taught here by their wonderful staff years ago. Everyone is very kind and welcoming, and I'm impressed by how well-run the classes are to fit their wide array of experience within their student body. I'm a generally strong/athletic person and I still found the classes to be hugely strengthening for parts of my body that I already considered pretty strong, like my shoulders and core. I've also had lots of issues with mobility and back pain from years of higher impact/intensity sports and classes here made a huge difference after 1-2 classes per week for a month.

Artemis Yoga Studio fosters such a beautifully welcoming atmosphere and community. I did a 2-week newcomer pass to try to incorporate yoga practice into my regular routine, and I was so moved by my experience at Artemis that I ended up signing on for the membership afterwards. The positive impact that these past two weeks have had on my life is immense, and I'm so grateful that I tried it out and can continue being a part of this community. I felt challenged to try new things, but also safe to modify as needed depending on how I felt each day that I arrived on the mat for class.

There is a wide variety of teachers with different styles and difficulty levels, but every one of them shared common factors which I think define Artemis: openness for all to arrive as they are, modifications to make yoga accessible for everyone, and creating a safe, nourishing space to practice. I particularly loved the classes of Gloria, Einat, and Alex. The studio space is spotless and well-equipped with yoga props for all to use.
The front desk staff is knowledgeable, warm, friendly, and accommodating. The owner, Liz, is fantastic - I truly commend her for creating such a beautiful community in Watertown.

From the bottom of my heart, thank you! Couldn't recommend this studio more highly <3

I just joined after trying for 2 weeks. went to a handful of classes, mostly FLOW and 1 restorative and I enjoy it very much. All the instructors I've had have been very different but all really good. The space is wonderful, and as someone who needs to just have a space to get out of my own head for a bit, I've truly been enjoying my experience. Thanks to the wonderful staff and instructors.

I've had a great experience at Artemis Yoga. I am out of shape and rather inflexible. However, past experience had taught me how valuable Yoga can be in maintaining a health(ier) body and lifestyle. The classes and instructors (and many other students) are no joke, but in each one I felt supported in taking whatever rest breaks I needed, or in making whatever modifications necessary to accommodate my true lack of Yoga skills. This is a great addition to the Watertown/Belmont/Cambridge community.

Artemis Yoga Studio located in watertown is a wonderful spot to practice. They offer a wide range of classes. If you’re just beginning your yoga practice, they can support you! If you are a veteran and well into your practice, there is a place for you at Artemis! Teachers are knowledgable and accommodating. The staff is kind and welcoming. Your teachers will support you and encourage you to improve your practice. I felt so welcomed and supported at Artemis. Unfortunately my schedule changed and I was not able to attend as many classes as I would like. If you have a chance to meet the owner, she is an incredible person and will offer support to help you in your yoga journey. I will heartily recommend Artemis Yoga to anyone!

Dear Liz and all the staff at Artemis Yoga,

Congrats on all your hard work and effort on making this studio a true gem and a pleasure to be a part of.  The body of knowledge and level of experience is apparent in each class I attend which gives me a feeling of trust and satisfaction.  I feel so fortunate to have found you and it's just what I need at this time.

I have settled into the flow classes to regain strength and flexibility and I can see and feel the difference.  These yoga classes have given me my confidence back.  I really appreciate the thoughtful design of each class and feel safe to challenge myself while taking care not to cause myself any setbacks. I look forward to each day I can practice with the amazing and talented staff at Artemis Yoga.

Thanks for all you do!

Kind regards,

Diane
