Looking for a challenge and are you ready to sweat it up? I couldn't resist trying a class for free to see what Charlotte Yoga is all about. They offered a free class for anyone to practice as a way to dedicate that hour to the people in our lives who inspire us. How cool is that?! Forty-four of us piled in the yoga studio...like tightly packed sardines, but happy sardines nonetheless.
Jonathan was the instructor and Lee Anne assisted. They made a great pair! It was nice to get the occasional help to be more aligned or to sink in a pose with assistance. Jonathan was upbeat and encouraged gratitude the entire time...even when I just wanted to fall onto my mat and not move into the next pose.
The studio is spacious and has a large window in the back to allow natural lighting to illuminate the room. In addition, they did a great job of airing the studio by propping open the back door and fanning out all the hard work from us yogis for the next class.
The entrance is a bit small and gets crowded quickly if too many people are lined up, but what a fun way to meet someone new. Right? They also have a retail section and offer Lululemon apparel.
The women's bathroom has approximately 3 showers. It's a bit tight as well, so I didn't stick around too long to scope it out.
I appreciate this studio and the instructors who guided us. I will return to try more classes!
