“After all the yoga classes I had attended, I hadn’t really learned yoga at all! Yoga Lab incorporates all aspects of yoga – not just asana. I feel better. I’m gaining strength, balance, nervous system regulation, and a practice that’s finally mine.”

– Babi S., 14 years of yoga experience

ABQ Yoga Lab

Learn your yoga practice — not someone else’s.

ABQ Yoga Lab is not a drop-in yoga class. It’s a small, in-person learning environment where each student builds a personal yoga practice, step by step, until they can practice confidently on their own — anywhere, anytime.

There is no choreography to follow. No one is moving in unison. Each person in the room is practicing something different. Because your body, nervous system, and life are different.

How ABQ Yoga Lab Is Different

Most yoga classes

• Everyone follows the same sequence
• The teacher leads; students follow
• Practice lives in the room

ABQ Yoga Lab

• Each student learns their own sequence
• Practice is taught progressively and personally
• You leave with a practice you can actually do on your own

This is yoga learned the way it was historically taught: person to person, breath to breath, through relationship.

What You’re Actually Learning

You’re not memorizing flows. You’re learning how to practice.

Your sequence is built according to:

• your current energy and capacity
• your nervous system patterns
• your Ayurvedic constitution (Vata, Pitta, or Kapha)

You begin with about 10 minutes of practice. Once that’s embodied, you learn the next layer. Over time, you build a complete 60-minute rhythm practice that is entirely your own. This creates independence…not dependency.

What Happens in a Lab Session

The Lab is a hybrid space. It’s part traditional shala, part clinic, part skills lab.

• Everyone practices at their own pace
• I circulate to guide, refine, and add to each person’s sequence
• No choreography, no calling out cues for the whole room
• You’re expected to practice at home so your sequence becomes memorized and embodied

“Magnolia is an awesome teacher, truly a gem. She is highly educated & practiced in the historical & ‘traditional’ roots of yoga, yet not afraid to break the rules. ABQ yoga-lab is a unique type of experience which combines personal recommendations for yoga postures with an Ayurvedic influence & incorporates mindfulness as well as pranayama. You get one-on-one attention from a true yoga expert, which is amazing. This class is suitable for beginners as well as experienced practitioners looking to establish & deepen their own practice.

Weekly Class At Desert Lotus Yoga Studio

In addition to ABQ Yoga Lab, I’m teaching a weekly in-studio class at Desert Lotus Yoga beginning February 11, 2026. This class follows the studio’s group class format and offers an accessible entry point into my teaching for students who are curious but not ready for the Lab model.
