HYP Studio/Heated Yoga + Pilates

HYP Studio/Heated Yoga + Pilates Heated yoga, equipment Pilates + functional wellness Our community is vibrant, dynamic, fully realized and ever growing.

HYP's intimate Studio, located in Wellesley, Massachusetts, offers a wellness atmosphere that's contemporary, welcoming, family-driven and a serene retreat from corporate-based fitness experiences and facilities. All of our hot yoga, functional fitness and Pilates equipment group classes, semi-privates and 1:1 sessions, continually challenge on a physical level, while providing a supportively healthy environment for students to set their own personal pace, progress and practice. From ownership (we're women-owned), to instructors and staff, we center a communal, hands-on approach to our community with a distinctly family-run vibe. We regard each student's ongoing journey to achieve equilibrium of mind & body, as one profoundly individual and personal. To that end, we gently encourage our community to develop their own path and process towards that goal, aided by the informed partnership and guidance of our veteran teachers and trainers. As HYP's Caretakers, Debra Goodman and Dennis Ozer remain fully accessible and present for the Studio's students, instructors and trainers. Dennis is often found behind the front desk, registering students and facilitating the Studio's livestream offerings, while Debra serves as the 'woman behind the curtain', orchestrating all things HYP from behind-the-scenes, and personally responding to the vast majority of student correspondence, feedback and concerns. Come tour our beautiful Studio spaces, take a class, or call us at 781.755.6155 to begin a wellness program that will charge, challenge and transform!

Pilates wasn’t designed to live on one piece of equipment.

It’s a complete system — Reformer, Chair, Cadillac, Barrel, Mat, and small apparatus — each building on the other to create balanced, intelligent movement.

At HYP, we’re a veteran comprehensive Pilates studio — not a trend, but a 20 years-in lineage of dedicated practice and methodology.

While ‘Reformer Pilates’ has become a bit the latest buzz, isolating one piece of equipment from the full method means losing the precision, flow, and balance that make Pilates that uniquely transformative work that it was developed to be.

We teach the full system — the way it was meant to be practiced.

Every piece of equipment. Every connection. Every detail.

Impeccably cued. Meticulously adjusted. Deeply comprehensive.

That’s .

Hello :
A quick note to let you know that our own personal rainbow 🌈, Rachael Tondreault, will be teaching both of her regular Saturday morning classes tomorrow after all.

Our gratitude to Meredith and Kate for embodying the flexible spirit of practice by holding space, stepping up and back, with equal grace.

The joy of …

New voices.

Fresh perspectives on and …

On how we best find breath and the spectrum of ways to move in integrity and alignment.

Welcome yoga teacher, Rawley Dworetz.

About Rawley -
After years of rigorous exercise and athletic endeavors, Rawley stumbled into a heated power yoga class in 2012. He left feeling a lightness he never imagined possible.

He has practiced under the tutelage of master teacher, Maybelle Rowntree, since 2015 and honors her with his teaching and practice.

He has completed 200 hours of training with Jared McCann at Lighthouse Yoga School as well as 350 hours with The Baptiste Institute.

Rawley believes that the best teacher is the best student. You can expect a vigorous and direct class with your breath as the soundscape for movement.

His intention is to safely strengthen and lengthen every muscle in your body, as well as calm the mind and continue the journey toward inner peace and self-discovery.

Please welcome Rawley to HYP with your presence on the mat this Friday, 10/24, at 5:00pm Friday Night Flow.

And stay tuned for exciting further announcements for future opportunities to flow, sweat and breathe with Rawley.

Dearest :
Yes, it’s THAT time again.

Even the best of communities need a gentle reminder re: the policies that make for an equitable, supportive and accountable shared wellness resource.

And, as a mature community almost 20 years in cohortship, it’s sometimes easy to lose track of the mindful directives that keep the peace and upholds mutual respect as a true north.

As a Studio, our immoveable 24/7 priority is to nurture a space that feels safe, considerate and welcoming for staff and student alike.

To that end, we want to revisit the (ongoing) pillars that best make that happen.

They embody what we see as a fully realized, cooperative community that’s rooted in common love of practice and shared humanity, as experienced through mindful movement.

Please note that these guidelines are neither fully comprehensive nor the final word. Much like each of us individually, these are a fluid and ever evolving set of Studio best practices and etiquette.

Please don’t hesitate to hit us up with any questions-together, we thrive.

Thank each of you endlessly, collectively, human by human, for being the most beautifully vital character in the ever onward and upward story of HYP.

And now for a gentle PSA on Savasana etiquette.

Savasana is more than rest — it’s the essential close of your yoga practice.

It’s the moment when your body integrates everything you’ve just done during practice - physically, mentally, energetically.

It allows your nervous system to rest, your breath to settle back into its normal pattern, and your practice to land and properly marinate.

While we understand that life is busy and sometimes you may need to depart early, leaving DURING Savasana disrupts not only your own experience, but the experience of others in the room as well.

Think of Savasana as the punctuation mark to your practice — without it, the sentence feels unfinished.

Honor your time, your body, and your community by staying for the stillness whenever possible.

And if you know that you need to go, please honor yourself, your fellow students and your teacher by slipping out BEFORE Savasana begins.

Your body, gray matter and community will thank you for that mindfulness to a complete practice.

is our teachers; our teachers are HYP.

That concept has been our immovable North Star for the going on 2O years that the doors have been opened, the heat has been turned up and the reformers have been full and set in motion.

And in case you haven’t had the pleasure, meet veteran instructor, Opal Alves, dancer, mover and a most integral part of the fabric of our long standing Pilates program.

Opal began her career in movement with a love of ballet. She developed a dance and fitness program in East Providence, RI, where she encouraged toddlers through adults to develop body awareness and well-being.

Opal obtained her second Bachelor’s degree in Education and transitioned to a K through 12 teaching career. She was led back to the world of fitness through being a dedicated Pilates student at HYP.

“For me, Pilates ia an internal awakening. It’s an investment in my overall well-being by providing a release from daily stress.”

With multiple years of Pilates training under her belt, Opal returned to aiding others and began training as a Pilates instructor.

Her dance and ballroom teaching experience enhance her skills in assisting others to listen to their bodies’ needs and make the correctionis necessary for healthy lifestyles.

With a focus on balance, strength and conditioning, Opal targets triggers and muscle groups to build a strong foundation for the prevention of injuries. She assists clients with balance and stability, core strengthening, restorative conditioning, postural support and overall movement confidence.

Look for Opal’s dynamic Pilates equipment group classes Wednesdays at 8:30am and 10:30am and Fridays at 9:00am and 10:00am.

Or reach out to us at HYPstudio@gmail.com to book a private session with Opal. Discover the best in quality Pilates and a new sense of you in supported functional movement.
