Okra Yoga, Massage and Tea, in Charlotte, will present two introductory Bowspring workshops—Bowspring for Improved Balance and Easy Inversion Benefits from 1:45 to 3:15 p.m. on April 7, and Bowspring for Improved Yoga, Running and Cycling, at the same time on May 5.

Bowspring yoga was developed by co-founders John Friend and Desi Springer and makes use of the natural curves of the body to make flowing movement easier. Friend has also co-founded and developed Anusara yoga, known for its help in supporting alignment and flow.

The workshops will be led by Linda Oelschlaeger, ERYT- 500, who has taught for more than 15 years and studied both Bowspring and Anusara with Friend.

Cost: $16 or one class charged on an Okra class pass. Location: 1912 Commonwealth Ave. For more information or to register, visit OkraCharlotte.com
