As gyms have closed, many people have noticed a glitch in their daily routine and a few unwanted pounds. Many local fitness centers and boutique gyms have adapted their classes to provide ways for kids and adults to work up a sweat at home.

You Call This Yoga
In keeping with its mission to help those who might have difficulty getting to a gym, You Call This Yoga has a library of yoga classes on its YouTube channel. Most classes can be done with minimal equipment and from anywhere, including your backyard.
Because many of the nonprofit’s events have been canceled, including the annual YogaFest fundraiser, many classes have moved online. Information on upcoming live Zoom classes, podcasts and supportive articles can be found on the group’s Facebook page. Most classes are free or cost a nominal fee.

In a free video on the nonprofit’s YouTube page, Howie Shareff, founder and director of You Call This Yoga, takes viewers through a chair yoga practice.
By inviting yoga teachers and other health practitioners from the Triangle to contribute, the organization is continuing to help physically challenged and underserved people in the community.
