LAKEWOOD, Ohio–From bars to concert halls, Cleveland knows how to rock.
But there’s an unusual place blaring tunes: yoga class.
“There’s an energy around it. And it’s the same energy that’s around rock n roll and rock music that kind of grabs you and makes you want to keep going,” said Aryn youngless, an instructor of a new rock ‘n’ roll yoga class in Lakewood.
Youngless’ new class mixes the latest health trend with the passion of the locals.
“Rock ‘n’ roll has a lot of different lineages, a lot of different ways to enjoy it,” said Kelly Novak, a Lakewood resident who attended the first class. “Yoga can come to be very gentle, can be very vigorous. I think they’re very similar. It’s only a matter of time before the two got matched up.”
Yoga’s become a big part of the Cleveland lifestyle, making it so much more than your typical workout.
“I realize there was so much more to yoga than the physical healing,” said Avon Lake resident Tina Gonzales. “It provided mental healing, clarity and just an abundance of offerings. I’m excited for this new class.”
