With a giant turkey, stuffing and casseroles rounding out our bellies followed by the stress of Black Friday holiday shopping sales, I figured this is the perfect time be thinking about yoga.  Some power stretching mind/body connection and inner peace are sounding pretty good. Even if you're feeling too lazy to get off the couch and go, reading about it is the first step!

I include myself in this group that should hop on the yoga wave.  There are many reasons yoga is good for you: it reduces anxiety, lowers fat, increases flexibility and boosts immunity to name a few. And of course, Kirkland has an array of offerings for every type of yogi.  Since I am not scared to admit that yoga is not my forte, I invited some fabulous guest bloggers to help me check out the following Kirkland yoga hotspots: Ashram, Soul Ease, Studio Be, Kirkland Hot Yoga, Dahn and Bala.  A super-sized thank you to Lacie Powell, Jana Koeberle, Amy Martin and Megan Barnes for loving yoga and taking their personal free time to check out these places and then thoughtfully writing their reviews to be shared with all of you. You ladies are awesome! 

We know there are other places to find yoga classes such as some the local gyms, so if you are in the market, don't forget to check those out too. But for our purposes, we kept these reviews to the places in Kirkland that focus more exclusively on yoga.  As always, we love your comments and feedback so feel free to chime in! They will start this Sunday and post every other day until we've done all six of them. ~j
