Kadampa Meditation Center Boston: what do users think?
Ginelle Testa: I adore this place! It's been a second home for almost 7 years now. Leadership is great and so are the teachers and community.
Mandy: Just no.
Ben: Very relaxing
lakota sandoe: Warm community. Lots of programming for all ages and stages of life and practice. No dogma. Very generous teachers. Can't recommend more highly.
Richie Batista: I went on a Sunday to an intro meditation class and learned 1 or 2 new things. The rooms were so peaceful and well designed!
Balint Karosi: I would not recommend this place. My girlfriend signed us up for a weekend session to learn about mediation. But we apparently signed up for a more advanced course: the refuge vow. We went to the opening Friday session last Friday 3/15/15. We were ushered into the upstairs sanctuary, where we sat for 20 min and then had to bow down in front of two Shambhala teacher's pictures, while our teacher processed into the room. During the whole session I felt intimidated. Our teacher was a white guy from Jersey working in finance. He had a weird energy around him. His lecture was vague and used rather pretentious language. After a brief Q&A they asked us chant some atheist chants and then to volunteer for work during the weekend. Some of their instructions included "please pick up your trash after yourself" even though everyone in that room acted very respectfully. On top of that they asked us to give a monetary "gift" to the finance guy in addition to the fee everyone already paid, which I though was insulting. We respectfully asked the secretary to remove us from the remaining session during the weekend, and reimburse us for the next two days that we were not planning to attend. One thing we learned that night was that one of the five precepts of Buddhism is not to take what is not yours. Ironically, we are still waiting for our refund.
Joe Snowdon: This is an amazing place of wonderful people committed to living in a society based on compassion, generosity and kindness. If we are going to make the world a better place for future generations this is the place to do it! Outstanding instruction in meditation practice, excellent coursework in mindfulness, and a strong Buddhist community that welcomes all walks of life.

Mindful Boston: what do users think?
Heather Parker: I decided to explore mindfulness meditation and am understanding the benefits for stress reduction. When I first thought about meditation, I didn't know where to begin. Mindful Boston offers an intensive course in MBSR or Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction that meets once a week for discussion and guided meditation.At first, I was admittedly nervous in attending the class. I wasn't sure if it was going to be filled with a bunch of crunchy hippies, new age folks, or people who already had a good understanding about meditation. Students are a mix of men and women, young and old, everyday people and clinicians.The teaching method feels very welcoming, encouraging, and laid back. I had dabbled in meditation before own my own but really had no idea if I was doing it "right." All of my worries were non-existent ten minutes into the first class.What made Mindful Boston a good choice for me:The meditation course doesn't ride on a religious or spiritual tone. The teacher doesn't ignore the fact that mindfulness comes from Buddhist teachings, but emphasizes that this program takes useful aspects of meditation which are then applied to reduce stress.While some MBSR programs are in a hospital setting, this one wasn't. It is more accessible and still is based off the research of Dr. Jon Kabat-Zinn.I dove right in for the intensive nine session course, though I think workshops are offered if you're not sure its for you. If you join the meetup group offered by Mindful Boston, you can get notified about the various meditation sessions and workshops.
Lauren Gourlay: If you want to explore what Mindfulness is all about, you should attend a class or community meditation night at Mindful Boston.Mindful Boston is a wonderful and secular meditation center that provides guidance and techniques for all levels of meditation practices. The Toolbox class is a great intro into Mindfulness meditation. I enjoyed it so much that I attended the MBSR course. I am so grateful for the tools and techniques that I have learned at Mindful Boston. Attending the center is life changing!!

Body & Brain Yoga Tai Chi: what do users think?
Paula Malady: I have been going to B&B in Cambridge for six months. I didn't know what to expect but just tried to be open. To my surprise,, i have really enjoyed each step. Practically, I am experiencing subtle but profound changes. One major change is that I have been experiencing uninterrupted sleep for the first time in more than two years. This is not a small thing for me. B&B teachers have been supportive and kind. I cannot say enough about this great resource for those interested in looking deeper into yourself.
Miriam Lopatin: I love the classes and the remarkable benefits to my balance and stress relief!This is why I keep coming for more than 4 years!Thank you for respecting COVID regulation and minimizing potential COVID spread by holding very small in person and online classes!Thank you so very much!!!ML
Martha Kahn: Since I started at Body and Yoga doing Tai Chi and Yoga I sleep a lot better, my back pain is getting well and my mind is more calm.
sandra abbott: The B&B facility in Cambridge MA is beautiful, spacious and light. The staff is caring and supportive; youre treated as a person, not a customer. They also give you a lot of personal attention. There are two 'Healing Rooms' and two bathrooms for a quick wardrobe change if needed. I didnt even know that it was a healing center, with a holistic approach, when I first signed up.More and more people are returning "post covid" (post covid we hope), creating a greater sense of energy and community. The workshops they provide are interesting and helpful. Pre covid there were in person visits from Masters from around the country and the world.There is a morning class Mon-Sat if you can make it to an Arlington class 2 of those mornings. Evening classes are held on 4 nights, plus 5 classes late morning thru late afternoon. They recently added online classes for when you cant make it in person. Zoom live classes are also popular. Both centers are on Mass Ave and are serviced by the 77 bus, one of the more reliable routes. It goes from Harvard Square to Arlington Heights.I am hopeful that as more people join us, even more classes will be offered!
David Smyth: I am so glad I happened to find this place. They teach a really unique set of physical and mental practices (blend of tai chi, yoga, core strength, and more) that gave huge improvements to my health and mood in a matter of months. After PT, shockwave therapy, and surgery all failed to help with chronic ankle tendonitis, these practices got me moving again. The instructors are amazing and care deeply about each person who walks through the door.They have a very specific and unusual (at least to me) set of ideas about gut health, energy, etc. that may be a turn off for some. But I would recommend keeping an open mind. The overall emphasis is on using these ideas to enhance self-awareness (i.e. your sense of what you are feeling in your own body), and for this purpose I have found them interesting and rather useful.
Caroline Schiavoni: Felt like a lot of pseudo-science about wellness and being physically/mentally “healthy.” I was told that depression exists in the gut and their program could essentially cure it. I had a one-on-one initial class and it felt very strange. During the class I was put into a very uncomfortable position by one woman while being told to relax and my energy would be released - I didn’t really feel like I had a choice in her physically adjusting me or touching me. The stretching was nice, but the mood felt off like I was being recruited for something. Looked up “Brain Education” and found out it has been called a cult and there’s been a lot of sus stuff in the business. I had a weird experience and just wanted to let others know
Holly Ransom: The team at Body & Brain (Cambridge as well as the other Boston centers) are absolutely amazing! They are highly trained and each instructor, while maintaining their own unique approach, provides wonderful consistency of practice. They are all kind and caring, and make you feel seen & heard. If you're considering joining know that the practice is SO relaxing, but does require patience and commitment. I am very happy with my experience here, and feel much more able to reach a state of calm when I am feeling anxious. Body & Brain helps you gain more autonomy over your emotional, physical and spiritual health, I would highly recommend!
Sandy Bodner: I was looking for a personalized exercise experience that was different from the weight training gyms I had joined in the past. I realized I lucked out after I signed up for an introductory session with Mary Jo. I really enjoyed it and signed on to a one-month program that allows me to try all the classes, and am continuing to attend Mary Jo's. She's an excellent instructor. It's a lovely place and conveniently located just beyond Porter Square.
Sonoko Madeleine Otani Oldman: I had a great experience in class today. It was just the right combination of stretching, meditation and core strengthening. I released a lot of stress and felt renewed energy at the end of the session. I look forward to returning!Since the center temporarily closed due to COVID-19, I have been taking advantage of an array of classes Body and Brain offers on Zoom. I am extremely grateful for this opportunity to experience a deeper connection to my body and brain daily and for the ability to manage stress with more awareness, flexibility, new breathing techniques and positive energy. The dedicated instructors are excellent and are always willing to offer individual guidance and support.
michal regunberg: I joined Body and Brain initially for the exercise, which is great. But it is so much more than that. It is a life practice that combines KiGong, TaiChi, yoga and stretching with a spiritual practice that allows you to tap into the connection between body and brain. It is life changing and life enhancing and the teachers are all wonderful! I highly recommend it.
Robin Watkins: I have been going to Body & Brain classes regularly for several years. I have stayed with this health/exercise program because the environment is warm and friendly, and I have seen a noticeable improvement in flexibility, balance, strength and energy. I especially enjoy Qigong and DahnMuDo classes for all of the benefits of moving meditation.
Undrella Holloman: I am so happy that I joined Body & Brain. All the instructors are great. The classes are wonderful and well taught. Every time I take a class I feel better, lighter and happier. Before I joined I could not sit cross leg, my legs would be in the air. Now my legs are lower, I can not wait for my legs to touch the floor. With practice I can do sleeping tiger with less breaks (Ah, shi-won-ha-da). I can do plate balancing without looking awkward. I love all the movements. Thank you Body & Brain, you have helped me through this pandemic. I wish I could stay home and take classes all day instead of looking for a job. Kam-sa-ham-ni-da
Yelena Lembersky: Positive:Communication,Professionalism,QualityI have been practicing for over 10 years. This place is excellent for physical health and mind-body connection.
Caitlyn Cawthron: The staff, classes, and workshops at Body & Brain in Cambridge have brought me so much inner peace. Not only are the staff warm and professional, but the facilities are clean and inviting. There's no better end to a stressful work day than practicing breathing and mindfulness. I've been able to manage my stress and sleep so much better since becoming a member.
Rohit Karnik: Very welcoming place where one can feel at home. The instructors are dedicated and highly skilled. I feel refreshed and at peace after every session.
debbie homola: Yeah! Great class Arthur! This class has helped me to spur on with the check in during the day especially, the kids as you know are demanding and act out.On that Tuesday, instead of controlling, I quieted my spirit and got into their world.Lastly, the Saturday morning class with Vladamere is so calming and penetrates deeply to the brain, bones, and spirit! His intonation is spot on! He is very slow and clear to speak throughout the process in directing us through each movement. Also, he gives additional ways to do a movement. His awareness for each students ability is enormously felt!Hope he can get this on Youtube! The world needs to hear and see it!
George Friedlander: Wonderful place, everyone is so welcoming and kind, and it is very very well designed minimalist layout perfect for relaxation.
Elan Riesman: I love this place, a sunny and peaceful oasis in the city. The students and teachers are most welcoming and have much to share. I am always glad when I go.
Mary Jo Sargent: I really like the way this type of yoga addresses my need to release stress and confusion. I always end up feeling refreshed, open and my mind clear and bright. Very grounding and a feeling of settling down. I love it.
Annie Gray: I've been practicing and also experiencing healing treatments at Body & Brain in Cambridge for over half a year and have found a different kind of peace and healing there. As a Yoga teacher and Life Coach, I already work with the mind and body, but this work has expanded it with energy work and a greater awareness of Soul. It can be a lovely experience, and one I bring into my work with my own clients.
Estalina Rodriguez: I came here for an adventure not knowing that I would find so much more. I learned how to control my emotions and make better decisions not coming from an emotional place. I found a way to feel more confident and know that I can choose happiness instead of feeling sad and worried about the past.

Boston Bodhi Meditation: what do users think?
Y Z: 最近又有机缘参与了波士顿菩提禅堂的禅修活动,特别是每周末的禅修,练习后睡眠质量提高好多!感恩禅堂同修的耐心帮助,感恩创始老师的慈悲大爱,帮助我们很多亚健康的人有另一种方式来恢复健康!而且活动还是免费的!太有福气了。
Rita: I’m introduced to Boston Bodhi Meditation Center because of my grandma, who has been a member of Bodhi for years. It has been my home away from home in Boston since then. Whenever I have time I would come to Saturday’s energy Bagua, energy healing, and meditation session, which rejuvenates my energy and I would feel very refreshed afterwards. The meditation methods I learnt from the center has been my go to when I face stress in academic and life; and the energy Bagua practice is super helpful when I feel low in energy too. Most importantly, I’m so grateful to the volunteers and staff in the center: they have been very kind and caring, giving me immense warmth to my heart. 10/10 recommend to anyone who want to learn Bodhist philosophy, interested in meditation, or have health problems that hope to cure. You will find this place amazing. (The picture below this the free vegetarian food that the center offers to participants in Saturday and Sunday’s events)

e-qunfa Jin: I have to say this place is amazing! I have just attended their energy bagua class. I love it so much! It surprised me that it reduced my back pain after learning and practicing one week here. Full of energy! I couldn’t recommend more ❤️❤️❤️
Victoria: Going to Bodhi Meditation is definitely one of the best decisions I've ever made in my life. Their meditation practices are easy to learn and results appear really quickly. I was able to overcome tough times in school and during work by listening to their meditation music and practicing what they have taught me. My stress and anxiety from school and work got significantly reduced and I've learned to love myself and spread compassion to others around me. Everyone in Bodhi meditation is super nice and always there to support me, honestly it just feels like home here!
guadalupe velez: I used to have a really bad right shoulder, I can’t pull it back or lift it up. So I came to the center for teacher Guanhai for the healing session. I got 50% of the pain released by the end of the first session, and after the second session - which is today, I can feel 80% of the pain being relieved, and I don’t feel the pain when lifting nor when I’m hitting on the arm, and I can move back my arm more. I also practiced Energy Bagua before the healing session, which is also very helpful. My mind is also very relaxed now. I appreciate the center very much for the friendly volunteers: they are very lovely people, and I’m very touched by their kindness. I recommend it to anybody and people with any religion for the benefit you can get, both for physical health and mental calmness.
