In the heart of the high desert, where the enchanting Sandia Mountains meet the vibrant culture of the Southwest, Albuquerque blossoms as a haven for those seeking holistic well-being. Amidst the bustling cityscape, the ancient practice of yoga offers a sanctuary for individuals to harmonize mind, body, and spirit. I know that as a busy mom, yoga has really been a saving grace for me. When practicing yoga, both my body and my mind are forced to slow down. And that doesn’t happen naturally.
This article serves as a guide for both seasoned practitioners and newcomers alike. It’s a curated list of yoga studios for both the dedicated yogi searching for a new sanctuary or a curious soul looking to dip your toes into the world of yoga. Join us as we explore the art of mindfulness, movement, and self-discovery within the yoga studios that contribute to the vibrant tapestry of ABQ Mom’s wellness offerings.

February is American Heart Month, an important time to raise awareness about cardiovascular health. According to the American Heart Association, heart disease is the leading cause of death for women in the United States and can affect women at any age. But there’s good news: following a heart-healthy lifestyle can reduce your risk for heart disease. Lovelace wants to help you make heart health part of your daily routine. Below are several ways you and your loved ones can be proactive in maintaining a healthy heart:
- Incorporate healthy food choices, including limiting alcohol intake
- Prioritize movement and aim for 30 minutes of physical activity per day
- Manage your stress levels
- Quit smoking
- Stay up-to-date on your health screenings
- Know your blood pressure and check it regularly
Talk to your health care team about checking your cholesterol, triglycerides, and being tested for diabetes.

ABQ Mom Team Recommendations
“I absolutely love Blissful Spirits. They make everyone feel so incredibly welcome and like family and their instructors are so much fun. They also play some really good music and it’s an overall relaxing experience.” -Felicia D.
“SWEAT yoga is the best hot yoga in town (in my humble opinion) the owner puts so much into your experience as you walk in the door. Every instructor has made a conscious effort to learn my name even if it’s been months since I attended! Beyond that, they clean and sanitize the mats after every class and make it evident they are cleaning and sanitizing constantly. Highly secure with cameras, locked front door. Classes are never over full either.” -Andy G.
