Personally, at all the yoga classes I’ve attended I’ve lacked one major element — balance. Despite all that, local yoga instructor Ranjit Deora’s Facial Yoga appeals to me, but only because I think it’d be hilarious to watch. Imagine all those yoga enthusiasts sitting on their mats with their tongues sticking out and their noses twitching. It sounds more like childhood face-making fun to me, but the allure of the event comes from two words: wrinkle reduction. I don’t know how this works (or if it really does), but it’s certainly a class worth checking out. Free. 11 a.m. Matthews Community Center, 100 East McDowell St. 704-277-6049. www.yogahealthsolutions.com.
