From the reviews

Pause Fitness is incredible! I have been attending classes here for about 3 years now, and I absolutely love it! The infrared heat is wonderful. I especially enjoy the Pilates classes. I would recommend Pause to anyone looking to sweat and get fit!

Pause is a beautiful setting. I have taken two classes,each of them were excellent. The studio is state-of-the-art, with cushion cork floors, infrared heat, windows for natural light. And, a balcony deck for fresh air classes. What a bonus. The instructors are all very skilled, kind and unpretentious and helpful.

This is my favorite yoga studio in Durango! I love all the classes offered at Purple Cliffs, especially Jenn's Yoga Mobility class. It's the perfect recovery class after a weekend of outdoor adventures. Every instructor here is top-quality.

★★★★★ — Bridget, Aug 2025

I am new to yoga and was looking for a place that would be the right fit for me. I am so glad I made the decision to go to Pause. After two different instructors with two different approaches, I have really enjoyed my time there. The instructors were both so caring and helpful.

Your first hot yoga class at Pause Smiley Studio

Nervous about your first hot class? Almost everyone is, and a good studio expects beginners to walk in the door. Here's what to know. What to expect: the room is heated, so it feels intense for the first few minutes — rest in child's pose any time you need to, no one will bat an eye. Hydrate: drink water through the day before class, not just as you arrive, and bring a bottle. What to bring: a mat and towel, water, and a change of clothes; wear something light you don't mind sweating through, and skip a heavy meal in the couple of hours beforehand. Arrive 10–15 minutes early to sign in and set up. It gets easier fast — most people say their third class feels completely different from their first.

Heat and intense exercise aren't right for everyone — if you're pregnant or have heart, blood-pressure, or other health concerns, check with a doctor before your first hot class.
