What the classes are
The studio runs a set of yoga and Pilates classes across the week. Mat Pilates, vinyasa flow and yin yoga are among the regular offerings, and power yoga brings a stronger, faster pace. Strength and core sessions, including HIIT/Pilates, give another option for those who want to move with more intensity.
The classes are built around the rhythm of the working week. Most sessions fall in the morning or the evening, with the busiest start times at 7:30am, 9:30am, 5:30pm and 7:30pm. Midday is quiet, and weekends carry a smaller share of the schedule.
Who leads and who it suits
A couple of dozen facilitators lead the classes, with Puja Chance, Treana Ferarro, Bianca Pugh and Ben Rader among those who teach the most. Many sessions are open to all levels, and a few are set up for people taking their first class. Most classes run around an hour, so they fit easily before or after a day at work.
Because the studio sits inside a climbing gym in Twin Lakes, the practice here suits people who already spend time moving in the building. It is a practical place to add yoga or Pilates to a routine that already includes climbing.
