La Corsa della Lumaca in Ostiense offers a range of classes, including Pilates, heels and aerial work, and it is one of the places where Friday evening practice is most visible. Aura Sacred Space in Borgo leans toward vinyasa and Yin, with the restore class designed as a wind down for the evening. Point Break yoga studio in Appio-Latino covers Pilates mat, sound bath and restorative sessions.
Bikram Yoga Roma and Ayla Pilates Roma in Via Sicilia are good places to find hatha and reformer classes. Across the city, a couple of dozen facilitators teach the Friday schedule, and the same names come up often across different studios.
