What the classes are like
The strong classes here are mostly yoga. Power yoga and vinyasa are the styles that lead, with flowing sequences that link postures to breath. Some classes add a focus on strength, core and pelvic floor, and others work on flexibility, so the practice covers both effort and openness.
Most of the practice takes place at 108 Yoga in Alejandría, where the classes are built around toning arms, legs and core. The sessions are energetic and direct, and the pace stays steady from start to finish.
When to practice
More than half of the classes start in the morning, and the earliest begins at 7am. Evenings are also active, with the latest start at 5:30pm. Tuesday and Saturday are the busiest days. Classes run about 75 minutes, which gives room for a full sequence and a settling end.
No classes are set in the middle of the day, so the practice fits neatly before work or in the early evening.
