the studio
Kindred opened in March 2016 in a former weaving workshop on Cerrillos Road. Founders Mara Quist (E-RYT 500) and Sam Archuleta (RYT 500) still teach 14 of the 38 weekly classes. The room holds 14 mats at full spacing, and we have kept that cap for nine years instead of squeezing in more.
Our six teachers hold RYT-200 or RYT-500 certifications through Yoga Alliance, and four have taught at Kindred for 5 years or longer. Teaching here follows two rules: every pose gets a floor option, and nobody is rushed through a breath.
nine years of regulars.
I have been to yin on Thursday almost every week since 2019. Same teacher, same 7pm slot. That consistency is the whole reason I still go.

Sam rebuilt my chaturanga from the ground up over maybe eight classes. Nobody had ever told me my elbows were the problem.

As a runner I only wanted the stretching. Two years later breathwork is the class I will not skip, my mile pace breathing changed measurably.
