Calm after work in Prague
Calm after work in Prague is a set of evening classes for coming down from the day. Nearly all of them are yoga, with vinyasa and gentle flow leading, and many are built around long holds, slow breath and meditation. The classes gather in a few studios across the city, including spaces in Josefov, Smíchov, Vinohrady and Holešovice, so the evening can start close to where you already are.
Where to start: Prague Yoga Collective Letná in Josefov, Yoga Movement — Jóga a Pilates Praha Anděl in Smíchov or Zen Den Yoga Prague in Vinohrady
It suits you if
- you want to slow down in the evening
- you prefer slow breath and long holds to a fast practice
- you are looking for a class that works for all levels

When the classes run
The classes in this collection begin in the early evening, with most starting between 5:30pm and 7:45pm. The busiest start times are 6:45pm, 5:30pm and 7:45pm, and the days people practice most are Tuesday, Friday and Sunday. Weekend classes are a smaller part of the schedule, but they are there for anyone whose week does not end at five.
Almost every class in the collection is evening yoga, so the rhythm is simple: finish work, arrive at the studio, and begin with a slower practice. Most classes run for about 75 minutes, and the gentler ones run for an hour.
What kind of practice to expect
Vinyasa is the style that appears most, usually taught in a breath-based cadence that keeps the movement steady. Gentle flow and yin come next, both slower and suited to the end of a busy day. Meditation, breathwork and occasional chanting appear in a smaller share of classes, often at the start or end of a practice.
Most classes are open to all levels. Zen Den Yoga Prague in Vinohrady offers a flow that brings in some more advanced poses for those who want them. Prague Yoga Collective Letná in Josefov has evening hatha with meditation and a yin and yang class that begins with guided meditation. Yoga Movement in Smíchov offers a grounding slow flow that connects body and mind, and Prague Yoga Collective Karlín in Holešovice offers aroma gentle flow, a slow vinyasa with aromatherapy.
Calm after work: questions and answers
When do most of these classes start?
Most of the calm after work classes start in the evening, between 5:30pm and 7:45pm. The busiest start times are 6:45pm, 5:30pm, 7:45pm and 6:30pm, and the busiest days are Friday, Sunday and Tuesday. Nearly all of the classes fall in the evening, so this collection is built for the hours after the working day.
Are there classes in English?
Yes, a few of the classes are in the collection, and they are shown here in English. Most of the classes are taught in the studio's own language, so it is worth reading the class description before you book if the language matters to you.
Which kinds of classes are most common?
Vinyasa is the style that comes up most, followed by gentle flow and yin. Some classes are built around meditation or breathwork, and a smaller number include chanting. Most classes are open to all levels, so you can start with the one whose description sounds closest to how your day has felt.
Where should someone start after a long day?
Zen Den Yoga Prague in Vinohrady offers Zen Vin Yin Vino, a 75-minute vinyasa flow with a breath-based cadence that is open to all levels. Prague Yoga Collective Letná in Josefov has Evening Hatha, a 60-minute slower practice that ends with meditation, and Yin & Yang, a 60-minute class that starts with guided meditation. Prague Yoga Collective Karlín in Holešovice has Aroma Gentle Flow, a 60-minute slow vinyasa with aromatherapy.
How long are the classes?
Most of the classes run for about 75 minutes, while the gentler ones often run for 60 minutes. A shorter class can be an easier way to arrive after work, and a longer one gives more time to settle into the breath. Check the length before you book so the timing fits your evening.
Can I use a pass to attend?
Most classes sit in the evening and so are a natural fit for the end of the workday. Only about one in ten people taking these classes use a pass, and ClassPass is the one accepted here. Most studios take bookings directly, so it is worth checking the studio's own page to see how to reserve a place.
