Hey Lexington, Rilee here. Today I’m sharing our City Guide of Lexington’s yoga studios — not for a national holiday or other tangentially-relevant reason, but simply because I love yoga, and my class this morning really put me through it (in a good way).
It got me wondering — do Lexingtonians love to roll out their mats, or do you prefer to hit the weight rack, the trails, or take some laps in the pool?
Whether you’re new to the yogi life and reading this in your sukhasana or an experienced exhibitionist scrolling one-handed mid adho mukha vrksasana, check out these studios to get your flow on.
