If you need a moment to check out from the hectic pace of the holidays, find your zen at one of these 13 yoga studios around Lexington.

If you’re looking to warm up

Creative Yoga, 660 E. Main St.
This studio brings the heat with its schedule full of toasty temps. Beginners will love easing into the flow with Yoga 101 on Sunday afternoons, or kick your practice up a notch with its Power Hour classes.

Sterling Hot Yoga, 185 Pasadena Dr., Ste. 140
Build stamina and strength without the flow in its Bikram-esque Sterling 60 or Iron Hour classes. But Vinyasa fans don’t fret, it’s got you (and mat Pilates lovers) covered, too.

If you want a mix of fitness options

LEX Method, 867 E. High St., Ste. 250
Yogis will love the infrared Power Yoga class that includes modifications for all levels, or switch things up and spike the heart rate with Focus, a high-intensity barre + yoga blend.

City Guides are presented by VisitLEX.
Inhale, exhale, let go
