Around the edges

Yoga, a short walk from the ballpark

LoDo isn’t a yoga neighborhood, and that’s fine. But there is one traditional room ten minutes up Larimer that has been quietly full every morning for a decade, and a handful of heated studios if you want to sweat before the train.

Ashtanga Yoga Denver

The Cube · 2501 Larimer St (door on 25th) · ayd.yoga

Mysore-style Ashtanga is the old way to learn this practice: there is no teacher at the front calling poses. You arrive inside a window, unroll a mat, and work through the sequence at your own pace while a teacher moves around the room, adjusting and adding one posture at a time. The studio’s own line for it is that it’s “like a private lesson within a group setting.” The room is unheated, there is no music, and nobody will hurry you.

The two teachers, William Mushkin and Elizabeth Van Genderen, are both Level 2 authorized by Sharath Jois in Mysore, which is rarer than it sounds in a city this size. AYD moved into a raw industrial space at 25th and Larimer in 2014 and built it out by hand: exposed brick, a meditation corner, a shower, mats and props on the house.

If you’ve never done it. Take the Saturday 11:00 AM Intro/Fundamentals class with Elizabeth, then join morning Mysore. Create an account on ayd.yoga, sign the waiver, fill a short profile, pick a package, book a spot (booking is required). Arrive 10-15 minutes early the first time; mats, towels and props are provided; practice on an empty stomach; wear form-fitting clothes.

Getting there. Free street parking on Larimer and surrounding blocks, plentiful early morning; enter through the front door on 25th Street. B-Cycle/bike station at 25th & Broadway; RiNo is bike-friendly. Nearest rail: 38th & Blake (A Line), 'a medium walk'. From Union Station it is about 0.8 mi / a 15-20 minute walk up Larimer, or the free MallRide plus a walk.

Everyone starts as a beginner. You don't need to be flexible, strong, or experienced — just willing to begin.

The closest studio to Union Station by a wide margin: a Southern California heated-yoga chain that put a new studio in the Wewatta Street block behind the station. Loud playlists, hot rooms, sculpt classes with weights; the place to sweat before a train, not to sit still. First three classes are free.

RiNo Yoga Social

1.31 mi

3101 Walnut St, Suite 100

Free on-site parking, open 8 am to 9 pm daily.
