Kalm Yoga

I went to my first class at Kalm Yoga yesterday. I'm a member of CrossFit Zephyr, which is in the same building, and as part of our membership we get one free yoga class a week. So I finally took advantage of that perk and am so glad I did!The studio is open for classes now, but their official opening party is September 13th (http://www.kalmhotyoga.com/upcoming-events.html). They are the first NM studio to offer solar-powered hot yoga, in addition to non-heated classes. They also are really trying to cultivate a community and host different monthly events and exhibitions.Over about the past month I've seen the space evolve significantly. There are a couple of offices in the same building, and the Kalms also run a law firm next door. The parking lot is a bit tight, but there is spacious parking behind the building. When you first walk in, there is a cute seating area with couches, local photography, and a coffee bar. They serve espresso drinks, tea, smoothies, and recovery shakes. When I arrived for the 5:45 class with Liana, she was very friendly and got me all signed in (which you can also do online ahead of time). I ended up being the only person in class, but it was awesome! Liana gave me a private session and really went above and beyond to tailor the class to what I wanted to work on. She also provided an aromatherapy towel during savasana and gave me a little neck and head massage. At the end of class she gave me a peach that she had brought from her backyard. Just the nicest Russian lady ever!I was so impressed with Liana, in both her teaching style/instruction and overall desire to make my experience as great as possible. I will definitely be back and can't wait to try one of the hot yoga classes. I may even pay for additional classes outside of the "one free class a week" that's included with CrossFit because I got so much out of the experience. It's a must visit!

I haven't been to any of the regular weekly classes at Kalm Yoga but I have been to three of their special events: a Buti yoga class, a Massage Flow workshop and a sound healing session. They have many other offerings that I want to try including essential oils and partner yoga. I love the range of learning opportunities that Kalm Yoga provides besides their regular classes. The studio space is great too. Several of the other studios I have been to in the area are tiny and as soon as you walk in the door, you are in the class space. Kalm Yoga is spacious with a lounge area as soon as you walk in, a coffee and tea bar, a children's play area (childcare can be arranged while you are in class) and restrooms before you get to the class space. In the back, there is also a huge, beautiful outdoor patio. I am not sure if they offer outdoor classes, but I would love to go to one if they did.On top of all of this, the studio is the first solar-powered yoga studio in New Mexico. From what I experienced and know about Kalm Yoga, it seems to be a very community-oriented and consciously aware studio.

As a dedicated teacher at this lovely space, I love seeing retention and the progress of people that come to our classes. Besides yoga classes Kalm Yoga studio offers art, tea-coffee and a few specialty events a month, such as Partner Yoga with Thai Massage, AromaYoga, Cooking classes, intro to reiki and more. We also like to celebrate major holidays as a big family there.

Cool yoga spot. They have experienced instructors, and host fun events from time to time. Not super crowded like some of the more popular yoga studios. The have plenty of space including a super cool outdoor area. Check them out!

Took 9 am Tuesday class and it really got my energy going again. Angie is very competent and caring teacher. At end of class, she even walks around and covers up each participant with a blanket. Have been doing yoga off and on for more than 12 years and like the gentle movements of this Vinyasa flow class which is still challenging.

Had a great yoga session right after the International Balloon Fiesta with Liana. Will be back!

Nice place but not a variety of classes. I love to take class in the morning. Would have liked a larger selection of classes and teachers.
