    Mystic — Meghan Smith of Hot on Bank had a whale of an audience while leading a BeluYOGA class Wednesday at Mystic Aquarium.

    The class is a collaboration between the aquarium and the New London based yoga school, which recently opened a second location at 11 Main St. in Old Mystic. The event repeats every Wednesday in July at 7:30 a.m. and p.m. To sign up, visit bit.ly/beluyoga.

    The Arctic Coast underwater viewing area where the class takes place is also home to the five new beluga whales, which recently came from Canada. There is currently a raffle going on to rename the new whales, and tickets can be purchased at the aquarium's website, mysticaquarium.org.
