This yoga studio in Recoleta is suitable for yogis of all levels and runs sivananda classes that teach traditional Eastern and Indian yoga practices.

This Almagro studio is located in an old house that functions as a cultural centre, and you can also attend flamenco classes and other activities there, if yoga isn’t your thing. The ashtanga yoga class run four times weekly by the Carlos Frione school takes place in a large room on the ground floor, and the 90-minute classes are largely self-guided, although a teacher is on hand to guide new students through the practice and help experience yogis adjust their poses as required. Drop-ins are accepted, but let them know on Facebook beforehand.
