Yoga and creativity share a special connection. Both require us to move beyond the confines of the familiar, to explore the unknown, and to embrace the perspective of a beginner—a fresh lens through which we see the world. This convergence of yoga and creativity is a catalyst for inspiration, opening doors to new ideas, perspectives, and ways of being.
Yoga therapy is fundamentally about empowering you to take an active approach to self-care through the tailored application of yoga.

iRest Yoga Nidra can be perceived as resting, especially since rest is in the name, and we all are not people who rest. Resting can even be a bit scary.

You are actively listening to a voice, following the prompts, re-wiring your brain, and improving your health.

We look forward to our 3rd Art and Yoga Retreat: Heart of Wonder at the NC Botanical Garden in Chapel Hill.

Art is much like Yoga. Being creative to me, it is about slowing down and just noticing. It's about using all your senses as you go through the day. Art can be beautiful. It can be sad, it can be moving. It can be pretty personal. It can be, you know, anything you want it to be.
