Discover your Yoga Experience in Raleigh North Carolina

Yoga in Raleigh, North Carolina or Around the World

We all share this planet called Earth, and whether we live in Raleigh or Bombay, India, who among us is truly at peace in this world? Who among us does not wish to be? True contentment is a rare state of being that we all aspire to whether we realize it or not.

All of us desire freedom from the many negative influences that surround us; physical, emotional, and spiritual difficulties can combine to overwhelm any of us, and many individuals here in Raleigh depend on the truly extraordinary benefits of yoga to enhance their physical health while lessening or eliminating the negative energies that detract from the quality of their life.

~ Yoga offers a stronger and more flexible body that is in

balance with itself— a body that is pain free.

~ Yoga provides a clear pathway to the inner mind

where the secret to true contentment resides.

~ Yoga promotes a spiritual awareness and joy for those who invite this extraordinary discipline into their life.

In the ancient Indian language of Sanskrit, the word yoga means union, which refers to the joining of the body, mind, and soul. This comprehensive, three- pronged approach to self-improvement offers a tried and true way to enhance physical health, achieve clarity and contentment of the mind, and experience true spiritual joy.

Yoga offers exceptional benefits for those who embrace the ancient practice, and there are many devotees here in Raleigh who say that yoga has been an extraordinarily uplifting force in their life. Perhaps no other discipline pursued to enrich our existence can offer all that is attained through the learning of the timeless art of yoga.

For some Yoga may be considered a philosophy, a practice, a work out, a way of life or just yoga. We are born into this world with an inhale and we leave with an exhale. Life is a cycle. Everything comes to us in cycles. With yoga, one is able to enjoy these cycles of life with the use of breathe, also known as Prana. Pranayama is the art of practicing your breathe to control the obstacles created by your actions in this beautiful world.

Yoga helps your mental, physical, and spiritual being.

Yoga give your mind a constant clarity by nourishing your physical being with the fresh flow of oxygen throughout your veins, organs, muscles, and mind.

As you inhale your body takes in pure oxygen. On your exhale your body releases toxins and everything negative. This oxygen is carried throughout your body and mind which helps to purify all of your senses. You start to taste, feel, and smell things differently, hear and see more clearly.

Your body becomes alive. You begin to feel more peaceful within yourself. More than anything you will begin to notice they way you view life and the way life views you seems different. Better.

Come and experience the beauty of yoga. Come and discover the peace that has always existed within yourself and this exciting world.

Awaken!

“Claudia, you are so real and authentic and every class is just so “in the moment” and I just LOVE that.. I love the resonance of that”

CANDLELIGHT SACRED FLOW YOGA w/ Guest Katerine Brisebois

Dates: Monday June 11th and Wednesday June 13th
Time : 8.00 pm to 9.30 pm
Fee: $15/ class

NC_CANDLE_YOGA_June-1

Join guest yoga teacher Katerine Brisebois for 2 special Candlelight Sacred flow Yoga classes at the Raleigh NC yoga studio on June 11th and 13th.

Sacred flow Yoga is a soulful, devotional and rejuvenating gentle yoga practice fusing the principles of hatha vinyasa yoga (the union of body, breath, and movement) and the qualities of bhakti yoga (gratitude, open-heartedness, humility, compassion, and devotion). We honor our body with a very gentle vinyasa flow and soft sacred restorative asanas to create a space for the inner doorways to open, prana to flow and healing and rejuvenation to occur.

This gentle flow class is the perfect retreat from the hectic busy pace of modern day living to practice REMEMBERING truth, love, source, compassion, and honor life as is it.

All levels welcome.
Katerine Brisebois has been practicing yoga since 2000 and teaching it for the last three years in Thailand, Montreal and the USA. An avid traveler and seeker, she has lived in Africa, Europe and Asia. Katerine’s teaching combines her unique passion for human kindness, truthfulness, joy and selfless service (seva). Her yoga path is one of true love and devotion. She is a certified Hatha yoga instructor (500 hrs training at Naada yoga in Montreal) and just returned from Santa Monica CA where she studied Bhakti yoga with her teacher Govinda’s. She teaches yoga to cancer patients and drug addicts.

RESTORATIVE YOGA WORKSHOP w/ Guest Katerine Brisebois

Saturday June 9 : 2.00 pm to 4.00 pm: Hips and Shoulders workshop
Sunday June 10 : 2.00 pm to 4.00 pm: How to manage stress in a busy world

Join guest yoga teacher Katerine Brisebois for 2 special Restorative Yoga workshops at the Raleigh NC yoga studio on June 9th and 10th.

Restorative Yoga is a therapeutic style of yoga where we use blocks, blankets and cousins (props) to support the body and make it easier to surrender to the pose and the breath. It provides a completely supportive environment that allows deep relaxation. There are no movements and no effort involved which allows the brain to quiet down. It is a beautiful, very gentle practice that will leave you feeling relaxed, re- aligned and re-balanced. No experience in yoga necessary.

On Saturday, June 9th, we will focus on opening the hips and shoulders by exploring various way’s to release the accumulated tensions. You will learn different postures and techniques to help you relax on a daily basis. This workshop will leave you relieved and more open.

On Sunday, we will explore the physiology of the body and learn efficient mechanisms to cope with stress. We will focus on relaxing the nervous system using mantras and deep breathing exercices.
