We are located at 9209 Baybrook Lane, Charlotte 28277 Our space is inside Performance Unlimited and there is plenty of parking. The facility also has showers.

No, we operate separately from Performance Unlimited but don’t be surprised to see some of their trainers or clients alongside you in class.

The yoga room temperature is anywhere from 72-75 degrees. We suggest comfortable stretchy clothing that will allow you to move freely. Baggy clothing is not recommended as it can become a hindrance to your practice. For the best experience, bare feet are also recommended but not required. Finally, please refrain from wearing any perfumes or scented lotions out of respect for those who may have allergies or sensitivities.

We encourage clients to bring their own mat for sanitary purposes however, we will have loaner mats available that are sanitized after each use. The studio has blocks, straps, blankets and bolsters but you can always bring your own. You may want to bring a hand towel and/or water. We recommend that you drink water before or after class and not during.

Welcome! We understand that at first yoga can seem like a bad game of Twister, but that feeling quickly passes. Although our teachers are highly experienced at adapting every class to a beginner, our YL: the BEGINNING was designed with you in mind. Here you’ll learn basic poses, transitions and terminology. Our teachers are skilled at meeting practitioners where they are - offering plenty of variations for postures. Be sure to arrive about 15 minutes early and introduce yourself to the teacher (if we don’t get to you first). Let us know about any injuries you have so we can be sure to enhance your experience. On average it takes someone about 10 classes to feel comfortable with this thing we call yoga, so give yourself time and have fun!

No, that’s the beauty of yoga! In time your body will open up but it takes patience which is its own form of yoga. Again, we pride ourselves at The Yoga Lab on meeting students where they currently are, and our style of yoga will safely get you into ranges of motion that are appropriate for your body.

Like anything else in life, consistency is key. 2 to 3 days per week is a great start but know that even one day a week is going to produce some results both physically and mentally.

Well, it’s not yoga but it may look like yoga in some cases. If yoga is an expression of your flexibility, Kinstretch is an expression of your mobility. Think of Kinstretch as strength training for your joints and it operates under the belief that you are only as strong as your weakest joint. During a Kinstretch class we get you into your pain-free end ranges of motion, and then we train there. This class is for everyone and should be done by everyone regardless of whether they practice yoga or not. If you want to be better at anything this is the class.
