I'm afraid to come to classes because I don't know the postures and there are many people around. How many people are usually in class?

We won't lie. We don't hold classes with 2-3 people, but neither with 30. Although our room is very large and welcoming (120sqm) the maximum number of participants per class stays at 24 to allow comfortable movement space, privacy and a quality experience. Don't worry, nobody has time to look at you, everyone is focused on their own practice. Also, people who come to yoga are usually nice, rather than judging you they'll help you! :)

What should I bring when coming to class?

You just need a yoga mat and comfortable clothes that allow freedom of movement. If you also have a towel and a water bottle, you're all set!

What types of classes do you have at ALTAR?

With us you'll find dynamic classes like Jivamukti, Ashtanga, 4BEAT Vinyasa with specially created and chosen music for these classes, very relaxing static classes like Yin and Body Reset Breath & Relaxation, and intermediate classes (in between - with simple and relaxing movements but not completely static) like Kundalini & Gong, and Sunny Side Up.

Can I participate in yoga if I have certain medical issues or injuries?

It's important to discuss with your doctor before starting any type of physical activity. During class, let the instructor know about any conditions -- we can adapt exercises to be safe and effective for you.

How often should I practice yoga?

It depends on your goals and your schedule. Even 1-2 sessions per week can make a big difference. If you want faster results (physical and mental), we recommend 3-4 sessions/week.

Is yoga also suitable for men?

Absolutely! Yoga is for everyone, regardless of gender, age or physical condition. Many athletes include yoga in their routine for flexibility and mental balance.

How much do yoga classes cost?

We offer multiple payment options -- from monthly subscriptions and class packages, to unlimited online access. You can find the full details in the "Pricing" section.

Looking for movement, but not dumbbells? Want to relax, open up your body, and take time for yourself? Or maybe you've tried yoga, but you know yoga should be more...Look no further, at ALTAR we have everything you desire.

Plus a few things you don't even know you need yet...

Try ALTAR

We know. We all have fears, desires, needs. We want more time for ourselves, we want to push our limits, but we think maybe it's not for us. Plus there are other people, we don't have the right clothes...we don't have confidence in ourselves. At ALTAR it's not about that. Here we all learn together, and nobody is more 'advanced' or less adequate. When you walk into ALTAR, you can leave comparisons at the door, and meet an inner mirror, every single time. At ALTAR you'll find more than a studio. Here a community of good people awaits you, something incredibly valuable these days. Whether you're looking for movement or relaxation, meditation or even want to discover the deep aspects of yoga practice, we're waiting for you at ALTAR. Welcome to your new soul home.

Why yoga at ALTAR?

Not 'cringe'

Although we are rooted in the deep principles of yoga practice, we've kept our feet on the ground.

Feels like home

With us you feel at home, where you can set aside expectations and your roles, and just relax. No pressure, no judgement, no one to be, but you.

Soul

We put our soul into it. We're here 100%. We do things the way you won't find elsewhere in Bucharest, properly. We created ALTAR not for us, but because we want others to feel what we felt when we discovered real yoga, done to high standards.

Authenticity

Everything we say is based on solid arguments, rooted in authentic yoga texts. We don't embellish, we don't invent, we don't 'create'.

What people say about their experience at ALTAR

Discovering yoga at ALTAR felt like coming home after years of running. With zero experience and some wrong expectations, I found the perfect balance of practice, wisdom and guidance with Andra and Andrei. I came for the workout, but I stayed for the clarity. I wholeheartedly recommend this place for its vibes, experienced guides and the community.

I really love the format of sessions at Altar because it's not designed as yoga that only considers the physical aspect (as I've experienced elsewhere), but you can feel the perspective of yoga as a discipline (mental, physical & spiritual). It helped that I received support and guidance throughout and overall the instructor was gentle with us and brought a very welcoming energy. And the location, it's a perfect complement to the class atmosphere.

Highly recommend! My first experience with this studio was in 2024 during a period when I felt a stronger need to connect with my body and since then I knew this is the place I would return to with an open heart. I appreciate being able to choose the classes that suit me, the schedule is flexible and the location is accessible.

Frequently asked questions

Of course! At ALTAR you'll find different difficulty levels in terms of postures, strength and physical endurance. You can try the easier classes or even accept a challenge and come to whatever catches your eye even if it's more intense. No ALTAR class contains 'impossible' or 'crazy' postures that you won't be able to do. In the worst case you'll get tired or sweaty, nothing crazy!
