Renew Mind and Body with Yoga in Charlotte Katie Levans, a registered yoga teacher, can expound on a long list of yoga benefits and explain the different types of practice. Her experience would imply a long love for yoga, but she was not always such an advocate of the discipline. Speaking openly, Levans said she thought yoga consisted of random ‘om’ chanting and simple stretching. After trying her first class, her entire outlook changed. She only turned to yoga to rehabilitate a knee injury, a product of excessive running, but gained much more. Not only did her knee improve, but she became more flexible and lost 20 to 25 pounds doing yoga alone. Levans also became better able to handle daily stress. These benefits so impacted her life that she trained as an instructor to bring the experience to others. Levans has seen that the Queen City offers many unique yoga opportunities.
