Thanksgiving Yoga: 5 Classes for Gratitude & Stress Relief

Thanksgiving yoga might be the last thing you’re thinking about with travel on the mind, family coming to visit, and a whole meal to cook before everyone arrives. But it could be just what you need to quell the holiday stress and anxiety and keep your focus on gratitude, the true reason for celebration.

This next Thanksgiving, try working yoga into your day right after you wake up, as a midday break while you’re waiting for food to cook (yoga in the kitchen, anyone?), or at the end of a long day of events to unwind and decompress. 

We’ve rounded up the best Thankgiving yoga classes on Alo Moves in all different types of yoga styles so you can tailor it to your needs, whether you’re on the go and traveling or need something to get you through a busy day at home.

If you don’t have an Alo Moves membership, you can access all these classes for free (and thousands more) with a two-week trial.
