Life, food, events, and community in Albuquerque, NM

New to Duke City and New to Yoga...

Greetings, Yogi friends,

I'm new to town and also new to yoga. I've been poking around with videos, yogatoday.com, and a class here and there; I've decided with the move, I'm finally going to go out and find community! I'd really like to make it a regular practice.

For a young, yet exceptionally unflexible guy, do you have any recommendations for where in town to start? Are any studios or methods particularly good for the alarming novice?

Thanks! I appreciate any ideas you might have.

Their website is www.bhavayogastudio.com Try starting off with one of their Fundamental courses with either Michael or Bea. Let me know what you think!; ▶ Reply to This
