The studio was full of mirrors. There was sweating, laughing, stretching, and dance moves like Cardi B. It was Buti Yoga and it was a blast. A friend of mine invited me to a class one evening, and when we arrived late we ended up with spots in the very front of the class which was awkward at first but forced us outside our comfort zones. It definitely wasn’t a normal yoga class. Buti Yoga tests the boundaries of your comfort zone and you definitely have to be comfortable with yourself and letting loose. I was unfamiliar with it, as it’s more high energy and tribal than basic yoga but being surrounded by a room full of strong and encouraging women, having fun, supporting one another, and feeling empowered was a wonderful way to spend a night out. I enjoyed every minute of it. The class was worth it and the instructor, Kelli Thomas, is amazing. She knows her stuff and is masterful with what she does. If you’re in the Hampton Roads area and looking for a fun workout to try, go to Buti Yoga. It’s incredible. Do something fun this weekend and enjoy yourself. TGIF!
