Virtual yoga and meditation in Boulder

If you’re feeling more stressed than usual, thanks to all the chaos caused by the novel coronavirus, know that you’re not alone and that your feelings are totally normal. It’s a pandemic, after all.

With yoga studios and meditation centers closed to in-person visits for the foreseeable future, you might be wondering how to add a little more peace and serenity to your life during an especially troubling time.

Many Boulder-area studios and organizations are still here to help, by offering virtual classes and sessions online. All you need is your computer (or phone) and an internet connection. You can sign up on each studio’s website (links included below), then access the class via a Zoom link they will provide.

Of course, you can always practice on your own in nature, so long as you follow the recommended local guidelines — stay six feet away from anyone else, wear a mask and wash your hands frequently.

Below are some of the local yoga studios and meditation centers offering sessions you can participate in from the comfort of your own home.
