Cary Yoga Collective

Of course we all know yoga increases flexibility, builds strength and helps with stress. BUT...did you know it can also boost your immune system? Certain poses like twists can ignite your digestive system and help you excrete excess toxins.

Part of the peace and calm students feel after a good yoga practice is due to the marriage of breath to movement - helping them to focus on presence during and even after class.

Yoga is a SCIENCE. Each and every pose is designed to help both your body and mind in a specific way.

If you've never experienced the euphoric effects of this practice, come see us. We'd love to host you in our sacred space!

Come with an open heart and leave feeling rejuvenated, inspired, and more connected to your true self. This ceremony is a beautiful opportunity to honor and celebrate yourself in a supportive and loving community. 💌

“Yoga is a way of moving into stillness in order to experience the truth of who you are.” ~ Erich Schiffman

When we experience the connection of mind to body and body to mind through the practice of yoga and meditation, we tap into the core of our true self. And we are, at our core, pure and full of light. This is the transformation that keeps students coming back to their mats over and over again.

Just practice and all is coming.

Take time to be still and listen to your inner self. The essence of who you are is pure and full of light. 🌍 🕯
