Welcome to Center of Gravity: Lexington, Virginia’s Yoga & Pilates Studio
Our offerings include the holistic practice of Yoga, the empowering strength of Pilates, and the healing energy of Tai Chi. Some classes are more of a physical workout while others are more focused on mental and physical relaxation, yet all of our teachers are dedicated to helping you find your inherent health and wholeness in a safe and fun environment. Whether you are a curious beginner, a seasoned yogi, or an athlete looking for either a vigorous cross-training or a gentle recovery, there is something for you.
See our schedule page for up to date schedule.
