The shape of an evening practice
Nearly all of these classes are evening sessions, and the start times are concentrated around 8:15pm. Each class runs about an hour, which keeps the practice short enough to fit after work without tipping into the night.
The mood is calm and inward. Most sessions combine a steady pace with time for stillness, so you can expect long holds, guided breathing and a closing period of rest.
Where and with whom
Open Circle Yoga in Al Bateen is the studio with the most classes in this collection, and it runs the sessions that define the set. Its evening offerings include Relaxing Sound Healing and Meditation, Yin Yoga and Sound Healing, and Restorative Yoga and Meditation, each about an hour long.
Sundar Singh, Olena Stepanova and Syna Dsouza are the facilitators who lead the most classes here. Al Bateen is the neighborhood where this practice gathers, so it is the natural place to begin.
