In Costa Mesa, California, LXRYOGA studio offers a unique yoga experience with snakes, mainly aimed at those who are afraid of these reptiles.
During 45-minute sessions, which cost $160, participants interact with pet snakes owned by Tess and Huy Cao. The aim of this practice is to help people overcome their fear of snakes through breathing and controlled contact with the animals.
Participants receive guidance before the class to ensure that everyone knows how to handle the snakes, which are described as social and harmless animals.
During the session, the snakes slither across the bodies of the practitioners while they are in yoga poses, even joining in moments like savasana, where the students lie on their backs with their eyes closed. Although it may seem scary, most participants claim that the experience is relaxing.
For Tess, the mission of the studio goes beyond curiosity or entertainment; she hopes that people leave the class feeling empowered and with a new perspective on snakes.
Many participants overcome their fear and even become interested in owning a snake after the experience, demonstrating the positive impact of this innovative approach.
