Wednesday at 6:30pm is Reggae Flow Yoga with Carla. Both classes offer dynamic sequencing and inspiring music. Our morning classes offer affordable drop-in rates ($10) and class pass options (10 punch card for $85). The ‘pay what you can’ option is always available for any class. Come a little early to settle in. We have extra mats, lots of props (blocks, bolsters, etc.) to make your practice comfortable. We’re also just a short drive from Carolina Beach or Wilmington. All are welcome & parking is free!
