Not only does it improve flexibility and tone muscles, it can also improve cardiovascular health and reduce stress. It’s never too late to begin a regular yoga practice, and luckily, there are numerous studios throughout the greater Sacramento area that offer both in-person classes and virtual sessions so you can get your down dog and warrior pose perfected in no time at all!

With locations in both the Arden-Arcade area and Midtown, Yoga Shala is sure to have a class that meets your needs. They specialize in vinyasa yoga, in which the yogi flows from pose to pose with breath alignment. But they also have yin yoga, in which poses are held for longer periods, thus stretching and strengthening deep connective tissues. They have classes both in person and online, and members have access to a full video library. They also host retreats and workshops, on topics like vision questing and intention setting.
