Later this month, International Yoga Day will commence on Monday, June 21. Yoga is a restorative and therapeutic experience that benefits both the mind and body. If you've been thinking about joining a new yoga studio, International Yoga Day is a perfect time to do so since more studios are now offering higher-capacity classes. To feed your soul, check out the five local yoga studios below!
Magnolia
Yoga Studio
Magnolia Yoga Studio focuses on creating an inclusive
and affordable yoga experience for all of its customers to enjoy. The studio
offers beginner and more advanced classes for hot yoga, which is a challenging
and therapeutic yoga experience. Staying hydrated during these classes is
crucial, so bringing your own refillable water bottle is recommended.
For a more convenient option, you can also opt to take a one-hour yoga class via Zoom. These online classes are available through the Magnolia Yoga app, and any friends, family, or roommates can participate alongside you! 301 Basin St. #2, 504-302-2304, magnoliayogastudio.com.
