  • Kate K. says, "I moved to Richmond, barely knowing a soul, and wanted to find a way to meet and make new friends while exploring my new city. I still remember seeing my first post from RVA Yoga Hang - yoga plus fun activities across Richmond for low-pressure socialization? Sign me up! I attended my first Hang that very first weekend and instantly felt a sense of belonging. Carly and her team excel at planning engaging events, leading mindful yoga practices, and creating a safe, fun, and inclusive space - perfect for building new connections. Not only have I gotten to explore more of Richmond through RVA Yoga Hang, but I've also made genuine friendships - all while practicing yoga!”

    Lesley S. says, “Carly has this grounded, genuine energy that makes you feel welcome and at ease from the moment you step in. As the founder of RVA Yoga Hang, Carly has created a space that reflects exactly who she is — warm, supportive, intentional, and refreshingly real. Her teaching is intuitive and accessible, and she has a gift for guiding you into movement that feels both challenging and nourishing in all the right ways.

    Every class feels like a reset — you leave clearer, calmer, and more connected to yourself. If you’re looking for a yoga community built on heart and authenticity, Carly and RVA Yoga Hang are something truly special.”

    Joe E. says, “We started going to RVA yoga hangs with a good friend as a way to enjoy yoga and creative activities. We’ve thrown axes, fed alpacas, sipped on NA beverages and sampled cheeses after downward dogs and chair poses. Oh, let’s not forget the time we got tattoos together after class for that hang. These events have brought our friend group closer together, and it’s truly been a gift to get to connect like this. We did the sauna cold plunge to celebrate that we were about to get married. There’s always a hang to look forward to— our next one is the hot springs retreat in Colorado in March. We can’t wait for the quality yoga in an environment that’s as nurturing and magical as my practice.”
