For centuries, salt was considered a wonder mineral with healing powers and natural abilities. Now, with scientific backing, salt is proven to possess major health benefits and people want in. While this may be a wellness trend for now, it’s a centuries-old practice for good reason.
Salt rooms are believed to offer a slew of natural remedies, including healing skin ailments, assisting with respiratory issues and aiding in stress relief. The wonder of salt rooms doesn’t stop there — now you can practice yoga in them, too.
Salty Yoga for Breathe was developed to detox your body, free restricted breath in your lungs and help with a host of ailments — all while practicing yoga in a room covered with pink Himalayan salt. This is a great class to take with friends, family and like-minded wellness seekers looking for a healthy way to unwind.

Yoga with Animals
Everyone’s favorite reason to get the yoga mat out: animal yoga! Truly for all ages, yoga classes featuring furry guests have been popping up everywhere — and we’re not complaining. Do down dog with cats, let goats jump all over you while trying to move into vinyasa or find a local puppy yoga class benefitting a shelter — just know you may walk out with a new pet if you get too relaxed in class. Expect fur balls to run, play and maybe even nap on your mat.
