Okra

2 hour body reset massage with Hal was simply amazing! I feel so relaxed and refreshed. Add yet another reason I love this studio so much!

Okra yoga is my favorite yoga studio in the Noda area of Charlotte so far and one of my favorites in the wider Charlotte metro. I am very grateful for the variety of classes they offer, especially the number of slower and unheated classes. Most of the classes emphasize the mental and spiritual benefits of yoga, not just the physical, which is one of the most important aspects of yoga, imo.

I left off a single star simply because classes that are named exactly the same can be very different depending on the instructor teaching them. I would prefer if I could rely on having a *relatively* consistent experience in terms of speed and intensity. For example, if I show up to a deep stretch class, I find it a bit frustrating if that class is actually being taught as a restorative class instead. Or if I show up to a class that describes itself as a slow or relaxed pace, but half of the class is taught at the same speed as a typical vinyasa class, this is also frustrating. I sign up for classes based on what my body needs that day, and it's frustrating when the experience differs so dramatically from the description. I would've signed up for something else instead.

Great deals on yoga and massage! Get on their listserv for their specials. Yesterday I had a THREE HOUR massage ($120) and it was so delightful. Their front desk people are so warm and friendly. You can find relaxing or really rigorous yoga classes to suit your needs - I’ve tried twerking in down dog and done a couples’ massage workshop at various points. Plus the free parking in the back helps!

Absolutely amazing! Never been before so I tried the new client special which was such a good deal. I was paired with Shelby for my massage and am so happy I was. She is so incredibly talented, listened to all my needs and gave me one of the best massages I ever had. The shop is so cute and welcoming and the staff is amazing. Thank you Okra I will definitely be back!

Jen managed to unravel 6 months of stress in a 90 minute massage! My only regret is not finding her sooner. If self care is not already on your non-negotiable list, gift yourself an afternoon at Okra. After a class and a massage, you'll be revitalized and ready for the week!
