Yoga is one of the most expensive pleasures in any city. There are yoga luka's all over the city…read moreand all are by the major metro stations. This one by Los Heroes metro has a selection of ashtanga and hatha yoga classes. They offer beginner, intermediate and advanced classes. The teachers lead so so classes however I think if they spoke and connected more with their students it would make the experience that much better. The teacher who runs the advanced class also over explains everything, when for me the point of being in an advance class is that you can move through the movements without be stopped every 5 minutes. I think their music choice could improve as well. One thing that is nice is they offer classes throughout the day and on some evenings you can buy freshly made organic whole wheat bread. I think that for a last minute inexpensive class this studio is great however it does not give off the community vibe I personally like to get.

My friends and I were training for the Santiago Half Marathon when we decided we should start going…read moreto yoga on our days off as a way to stretch and get in a different type of strengthening. I did a quick search and found Yuukti Yoga. We decided to go here because it is part of the 'Yoga a Luka' initiative and it is also the most central of all the studios (located a a block from the Republica metro stop). When we came in we bought our classes. Luckily there was space for all 3 of us as the evening classes are always booked full (I recommend coming 20 minutes early to get your tickets day of if you don't buy ahead of time). They have the classes separated by level so if you are a newbie stick to the beginner class as you will get lost in the more advanced class. The instructors are good but because there are so many people, you don't get as good of an individual attention as say, the classes in Salvador. So if you don't know what you are doing it is hard to get direction. I also really like how they have mats and other equipment available for free in the rooms for those that don't have them. Overall, the instructors and classes were good and we were able to stretch and strengthen, but if you are either more advanced or very beginner, I would look into finding a new studio.
