Five Yoga Studios Open New Year’s Eve

New Year’s Eve usually goes down in one of two ways:

1. You spend a week finalizing plans, a few days calculating your budget, and at least 45 minutes to get all dressed up—all for an evening that, sadly, will end in some sort of disappointment either via wallet or hangover.

Or…

2. You stay home on the couch with your family, friends, and/or significant other.

Fortunately, this year, there’s another way to ring in the New Year: with yoga! Who needs a kiss at midnight when you can be in savasana? Below, we found five yoga studios open New Year’s Eve, so you can really start the year off right.
