Yoga studio offers alternative to New Year’s Eve celebrations

WILMINGTON, NC (WWAY) — Bikram Yoga is offering a special yoga class tonight to ring in the new year.

The hour-and-a-half long class begins at 10:30 p.m. and is free and open to the public. Owner Billy Batten said he wanted to give more people options for celebrating the night.

“It seemed like there’s not a lot of options for people to do something that’s safe and healthy,” said Batten. “Either you’re out and about gallivanting and dancing around, or you’re home and at 11:45 you’ll fall asleep.”

The studio will also be collecting donations for Yoga Village, which provides yoga to those in need.
