I agree, yoga studio prices are a bit high - if you want to take a class a week, it comes out to $40 - $60 a month

I think CNM (Central New Mexico Community College) has a great deal. It's $40 for about 15 weeks - depending on the semester, and the classes meet 2x/ week - so that's $1.33 a class. The downsides - you have to register through CNM - which is really easy actually - there are no classes between semesters, no drop ins, and the classes are in portables, so if its a nice environment you're looking for, then this won't do.

They have morning and evening classes - i have yet to find anything cheaper...

The Y also offers classes - if you get a membership it might be less expensive depending on ho many classes you take.

Here's another low-cost one, near downtown. It's from a hard-working community organization, SWOP. It meets Wednesdays 4-5 pm near their office, for $5 a session.

I lead a mat yoga class at my home near Carlisle & Indian School at 5:30 p.m. on Mondays for $5 a class. I also do a chair-based yoga class on Sunday afternoons. I also teach yoga at the YMCA on Indian School Road.

I have a friend who goes to the Source on Carlisle near Gibson. It's cheap, all sorts of times and she really likes the teacher.

Just an update for those interested...
I've taken 3 classes at Vision Studios at the Source. I've really enjoyed them. The teachers are very good at giving enough variations of the poses to make beginners or advanced students comfortable and challenged. I really recommend them.
Also, they have a $29 for 8 classes or 30 days deal for new students. Pretty cheap! Enjoy...
