Cary Flow Yoga

To our students and community:

As you know, these past 15 months have been devastating as a small business. We know it will take even more time to return to pre-COVID normalcy, and the future of indoor group fitness remains uncertain at best. So we have made the difficult decision to not renew our studio lease after nearly nine years at the Arboretum. Our last day in our Cary studio space will be Sunday, July 25th. We were simply unable to agree on fair new lease terms at this location given the significant impacts that COVID-19 has had on us and the surrounding community. We will continue to explore other financially viable location options and will keep you posted should our doors open again in the future. 

We are eternally grateful to our loyal community who remained with us throughout the pandemic. You were there via zoom during our 7 month mandated closure. You joined us outside when the weather allowed. And you returned in-studio with safety measures in place. To those students, we thank you.

In-studio classes will run through July 25th, and online classes through August 1st. Please attempt to use any unused passes by August 1st, as all sales are final. Auto-pay memberships will not renew after July 1st. During the month of July only in-studio drop-ins and virtual drop-ins will be made available for purchase in our online store. Please reach out via email to [email protected] with any questions.

😊 We love hearing from our community. Your positive reviews help new students find us and contribute to the growth of our studio. If you’ve had a great experience, consider sharing it on Google or Yelp.

Well, it’s oh-fish-ial 🎣...Colin’s nearly back from recharging his batteries in PNW. Join him in-studio this Wednesday!

You are worthy of love and acceptance just as you are. The time on your mat is an opportunity to care for your mind and body through mindfulness and movement.

Stay tuned as we continue to spotlight the rest of our CFY values over the coming weeks!

Get GROUNDED 🏔🌲

As students of yoga we must learn to engage in the practice respectfully and with conscious awareness, understanding its complex history. Ignoring the roots, history, and philosophies of the practice in favor of using it as “just exercise” simply reduces it to a trend.

As yoga practitioners our educational and spiritual journeys are never complete. You can always learn more from your local yoga instructors or workshops, through self-study, or by signing up for a yoga teacher training.

We strive to be a safe place for your practice and will continue to use our platform to provide ongoing education and discussion.

Bandha (foundation) is the third pillar of Baptiste Power Vinyasa Yoga. There are three yoga bandhas which work to direct energy and set boundaries during your practice.

1. Mula bandha- contraction of the pelvic floor

2. Uddiyana bandha - contraction of the abdomen toward the centerline of the body

3. Jalandhara bandha - tucking the chin close to the chest

Yoga is more than just a workout...

What makes yoga different from regular exercise is that it’s not just physical movement.

The word “yoga” comes from a word meaning “union” – which explains that connection you feel between mind, body, and spirit.

Yoga practices also include the connection between yourself and others, for collective healing and liberation. That means being thoughtful about your impact on others as you move through the world 🌎.

As our community knows, we’ve been strictly following state and national safety guidelines over the past 14 months because the health of our community has always been our highest priority.

With the latest CDC and state guidelines for vaccinated individuals, we’re relieved to be taking another step towards normalcy 🙌.

We expect personal responsibility from our community and ask that non-vaccinated individuals continue to wear a mask.
