    Jen managed to unravel 6 months of stress in a 90 minute massage! My only regret is not finding her sooner. If self care is not already on your non-negotiable list, gift yourself an afternoon at Okra. After a class and a massage, you'll be revitalized and ready for the week!

    I've had two massages here. One was awesome, but an hour massage from Jennifer actually a 45 minute massage. Wait 5 minutes after you get ready and the cut you short. An update, I've been coming here more frequently, and things have really improved.

    Absolutely amazing! Never been before so I tried the new client special which was such a good deal. I was paired with Shelby for my massage and am so happy I was. She is so incredibly talented, listened to all my needs and gave me one of the best massages I ever had. The shop is so cute and welcoming and the staff is amazing. Thank you Okra I will definitely be back!

    I signed up for a $30, one month unlimited class pass and went to a variety of classes with different instructors. I was so happy with Okra, that I bought another class pass and will continue to go! The instructors all do a great job of reminding everyone to modify poses throughout class to do what serves you best. I have to shout out Nicolette specifically for her easy-going and welcoming style. I laugh in every class I've taken with her as the instructor. I also love that she asks everyone to subtly signal her if they don't want any adjustments from her during class!

    Love Okra space and what it offers. I get Thai massages from Stephanie and she is a total gem. Their yoga classes are amazing. All the teachers and caring, knowledge and give you space to practice and assist if needed. Beautiful space!

    Great deals on yoga and massage! Get on their listserv for their specials. Yesterday I had a THREE HOUR massage ($120) and it was so delightful. Their front desk people are so warm and friendly. You can find relaxing or really rigorous yoga classes to suit your needs - I’ve tried twerking in down dog and done a couples’ massage workshop at various points. Plus the free parking in the back helps!

    I booked a 45 min focus massage to ease up my tense muscles, and it exceeded my expectations! Jennifer Parsley was so great, professional, and very communicative on what to expect before the massage started to eliminate any surprises. I felt so relaxed and energized after my massage. Will definitely book again!

    Love this studio! I go to the $8 Powerbeats on Fridays with Danielle. Love her teaching style, posing + music selection. Cutest little studio too with a little shop I always love to check out before my class. 🧘‍♀️

    I love Okra yoga studio so much. They offer a huge variety of classes and I've liked all the ones I've tried. The teachers are fantastic and so caring. I cannot recommend this studio enough!

    I love the variety of classes. Today I went specifically to check our Tai Dorn’s primal yoga class which combines elements of Tai Chi and Kung Fu, as well as somatic release through energy clearings and using our vocals with poses to gather, move, expel and create new energy. I had no idea our teacher today was a long term martial artist - she was always my favorite deep stretch teacher at Yoga One… many years ago, but apparently she’s been training both yoga and martial arts for many years. Her class was exactly what I was hoping to find. Martial Arts and Yoga are a beautiful combination and this is a really nice addition to my current practice. I could literally feel the density of the energy in the air, holding it my hands. and if you need a chakra reset - it’s all about moving energy- not mountains. Mountains don’t move. We do. Great lil intimate studio and Tai is really great teacher. What I learned today- I’ll carry forever.

    I had the most amazing massage with Jen Strassberg a couple of weeks ago. The scheduling for my massage was incorrect and when I arrived my masseuse was not there. I was 34 weeks pregnant and broke down crying in the lobby because I was so disappointed. Jen finished with a client, saw me in the lobby, and offered to stay late to give me a massage (the day before Christmas eve I might add!) Not only was the gesture extremely generous and professional, the massage she gave me was one of the best Ive ever had. Jen listened to what I wanted and needed, especially at this stage in my pregnancy, and I left feeling emotionally and physically relaxed. I would definitely book with Jen again and highly recommend her to prenatal and regular clients.

    I looooove this yoga studio! It is such a welcoming space with a variety of classes, and so affordable. If you like more challenging flows, definitely try out Danielle and Natalie's classes, they are the best!

    Great atmosphere, my massage with Jen Strassberg was excellent. Looking forward to my next visit.

    I cannot endorse businesses that mistreat their employees. Throughout the entire year, there has been no air conditioning, and both the landlord and management have failed to address the issue. This situation exposes both employees and customers to oppressive conditions that are not only intolerable but also unhealthy. It's disheartening to think that the Plaza Midwood community would condone such oppressive behavior in the name of cost-saving measures.

    This place is really special. I don’t live permanently in Charlotte, so I signed up for a month of classes and am so glad I did. Natalie ties physical and emotional wellness together beautifully in her practice. Her classes are what I’ll miss most about being here!

    Great location! Took gentle flow with Mindy and it was a great class. Will go every chance I can get. Just a great balance of energy, healing, balance, and stretch. You can tell Mindy is a yoga pro!

    I’ve been to a lot of yoga studios and Okra tops them all. Beautiful inside and outside yoga studio. Professional and knowledgeable yoga instructors. Offers a variety of different types of yoga and workshops. Excellent staff. And very authentic, non-pretentious vibe. No mirrors in the studio which really helps you focus. Perfect yoga studio.

    Was visiting from out of town and on a whim signed up for the 60 minute vinyasa led by Amelia. Very glad that I did! The flows were so well put together, it was definitely one of the more productive hours of my life with the amount of work that was fit in! For someone like me still working on fundamentals, Amelia’s style of instruction was fresh and interesting, giving clear direction always without a focus on following instructor demonstrations. This experience will definitely have me planning another trip to Charlotte soon to try one of their outdoor classes!

    Went there for the first time today and had an hour with Rebekah. Definitely the best massage I’ve ever had anywhere! Such a warm relaxing atmosphere and everyone is so professional and kind. Do yourself a favor and book an appointment ASAP. You deserve it!

    I have been going to Okra to see Victoria for a few months now specifically for her massages and she is the reason why I keep going back. Victoria holds an open space with ever visit and I feel so welcome. She is very personable and truly cares about what my goals are and if she achieves them! This is not just a transaction or a job for her (what I have experienced in the past of just the same technique)! I feel light as a feather every time I leave! I will forever recommend her over and over again!

👍👍 Skeptical. I visited this place because of a research on brunch places in downtown. Ended here because of the Google rating. Almost Worth it! The Italian sausage hash was really good. But my spouse ordered an avocado toast and it lacked flavor. Also, the coffee was legit; really good! Also ordere...
