A quick glance at the schedule of Chamundi reveals a whole variety of different practices. Next to traditional Hatha yoga classes and relaxing Yin yoga are Vinyasa Flow, Kundalini and power yoga on the agenda. And the studio has a couple of aces up its sleeve: aerial and acro yoga. The two concepts have experienced quite the boom in recent years and offer new experiences. Acro yoga combines traditional asanas and sequences with acrobatics, while an aerial yoga class provides a sense of weightlessness while you’re hanging in a blanket suspended from the roof. If you’re new to any of the practices offered, join a beginner class or workshop, or book a private lesson to see which of the classes are for you.
