What the Friday evening classes are
The collection is made of Friday evening classes in Santa Fe, with starts from 5:15pm to 6:30pm. Most of them are hot yoga, and most are labeled release. The typical class is an hour long, which makes it easy to fit between the end of work and the rest of the evening.
The classes are not all the same kind of practice. Some are hot vinyasa, moving with the breath at a steady pace. Others lean toward yin, with longer holds that let the body soften. A handful are marked restore or flexibility, so you can choose a class that suits how tired or how open you feel.
Where and with whom
Pacheco is where most of these classes take place. Santa Fe Thrive and Dirty Laundry Hot Yoga both run classes here, and each offers a different way into the same evening. Chase Maus, Tara and Emily are the facilitators who lead the most sessions in the collection.
If you are new to hot yoga, start with a class marked all levels or first class ever. Arrive a little early, settle into the room, and let the heat and the slower pace set the tone for the weekend.
