Try one of these five Charlotte yoga classes from home today.
A home yoga practice has been a wonderful reprieve from the stress and uncertainty of daily life right now. Whether you’re a season practioner, a teacher yourself, or thinking this is a great time to try yoga out, right from the comfort of your living room or backyard on a nice day.
These are a few of the studios and instructors who are still carefully crafting classes of all variety to leave your mind, body, and spirit feeling a little lighter. To all the teachers out there, yoga and otherwise, cheers to you. We are so grateful for the gifts you’re providing.
