Cary Yoga Collective

Our next Sacred Sound Bath with Garth Robertson is coming up on October 3rd from 7:00–8:30 PM. ✨

Join us for an immersive ceremonial experience blending sound, stillness, and subtle sensory awareness to create space for rest, reflection, and inner reset.

Rooted in ancient traditions, this journey gently supports a return to balance, clarity, and presence. Through instruments gathered from around the world—including guitar, overtone singing, Tibetan bowls, gongs, chimes, flute, didgeridoo, tuning forks, and more—Garth creates a deeply meditative soundscape that invites the body and mind into profound relaxation.

All are welcome, and beginners are encouraged to come just as you are—no prior experience needed.

🧠 Brain Health Edu & Yoga Session 🧘

Did you know that age isn't the only risk factor for brain health? While some factors are out of our hands, many others are within our control — and small changes can make a big difference, even for those with a family history of dementia.

Join us for a special afternoon supporting Alzheimer's awareness and brain health! We'll start with an educational talk from Rick Hobson of the Alzheimer's Association, followed by a gentle yoga practice with Heather focused on movement, breathwork, and meditation for brain health.

By the end of this session, you'll be able to:

✅ Explain why brain health matters now and throughout your life
✅ Recognize everyday actions that help protect your brain
✅ Build a personal plan for brain-healthy habits

Come learn, move, and breathe with us — your brain will thank you! 💛

Embodying the Pose: A Series of 7 Asana Labs 🧘‍♀️

A NEW seven-part series co-led by Alyson Colwell-Waber and Megan Bader, exploring the body, alignment, and deeper experience of each pose.

Join us Sundays from 12:30–1:45 PM. Sessions can be attended individually or as a series.

Sept 13 • Standing Poses
Sept 27 • Front Spine Opening
Oct 11 • Forward Folds
Oct 25 • 3D Torso Opening
Nov 8 • 3D Limb Opening
Nov 22 • Core Integration
Dec 6 • Safe & Delightful Inversions

Each session begins with centering and preparing the body and, from there, moves into the "lab" in which three or four asanas are deconstructed to best understand alignment, energy flow, and modifications. We deepen this knowledge through a short vinyasa slow flow, then close with the deep rest of savasana.

✨ Come embody the pose, one practice at a time. Sign up through the website, or email with any questions.

Yoga 101 is back!

Led by Alyson Colwell-Waber
Saturday, September 26th | 12:00pm – 3:00pm | 3 hours / $45

This workshop provides the foundational information and physical understanding to begin practicing yoga safely and with confidence or, for returning students, to revisit and deepen that foundation. We'll work through beginning poses and safe postural alignment, movement transitions, and effective breathing techniques, using mindful repetition to strengthen the connection between breath, intention, and movement. From there, we'll explore new poses, variations, transitions, and creative ways to use props to support your practice. We'll close with a guided relaxation designed to leave you feeling grounded, calm, and clear.

All are welcome - appropriate for those new to yoga as well as those wanting to deepen their practice. Students will leave with handouts to continue practicing at home and can ease into classes on our regular schedule.

Santosha: The Practice of Enough

This week we're sitting with Santosha — contentment, the quiet art of enoughness. Not the enoughness of settling, but the kind that comes from noticing what's already here, already whole, already plenty.

It found us in small ways this week. In our C*C community — the students who show up, the teachers who hold space, and this studio itself, a container that makes all of it possible. In the sky, too — meteor showers overhead, a reminder that we're held within something vast and are, ourselves, wonderfully small. And on the mat, in the way this practice keeps returning us to now — the one place contentment actually lives.

Santosha isn't about wanting less. It's about seeing more of what's already in front of us.

May your practice this week be an invitation to notice what's enough.
