Over the next 7 weeks, Megan will be leading Journey Through the Chakras, a series rooted in the ta***ic and yogic traditions from which the chakra system originates. Each class centers on one of the seven energy centers, beginning at the root and moving upward through the subtle body, finishing at the crown.

Every session pairs a chakra with its corresponding area of the body, exploring the physical postures, breathwork, and themes tied to that center - along with the ways energy tends to get stuck or blocked there, and how we can work with it rather than around it. Expect a class built specifically around that week's focus: sequencing chosen to open and strengthen the related area, meditation or reflection to sit with what comes up, and space to actually feel the difference by the end of class.

Whether you join for one, two, or all seven, each class stands on its own - no prior knowledge of the chakra system required, just a willingness to move and pay attention.

2:00 - 3:15pm Friday afternoons

Root / Muladhara Chakra - Oct 30th
Sacral / Svadhishtana Chakra - Nov 6th
Solar Plexus / Manipura Chakra - Nov 13th
Heart / Anahata Chakra - Nov 20th
Throat / Vishuddha Chakra - Nov 27th

Cary Yoga Collective wouldn't be the same without our incredible community of students. Your energy and presence in class truly shape the feeling of our space, and we want to celebrate that.

This month we are excited to be celebrating Kelly Tavares who attended 22 classes at C*C in September!

So much time and dedication to her practice, and we love to have her warmth and presence in our space. Thank you for being a part of the C*C community, Kelly!

Kelly shared; "Most of my classes are with Loretta Jo, Anne, Heather and Laura. They all bring an amazing energy to their class. I’ve enjoyed the feeling of community at the studio. The teachers know me by name, and I have made friends with other students. The studio is welcoming and non-judgmental. I recently had a broken arm, but continued to go to class. Loretta Jo, Anne, Heather and Laura were all especially attentive to making sure I had modifications that enabled me to continue coming to class. I left many class frustrated that I am still unable to do a lot of what I could do prior to my break. If it wasn’t for the encouragement of the teachers I likely would’ve stopped showing up until I was back at 100%. "

We're so grateful to have you as part of this community, Kelly!

Forward Folds

Join Alyson Colwell-Waber and Megan Bader for the third session of our 7-part Asana Lab series on Sunday, October 11 from 12:30–1:45 PM.

Each Asana Lab can be attended individually or as part of the full series, making it easy to join for the sessions that speak to you most.

Come explore, move, and embody the pose. 💙

Back from the beach... ☀️🌊
A student recently asked if I still "practice" while on vacation.
Always.
Sometimes I visit a local studio. Sometimes I simply unroll my mat outdoors and let the rhythm of my breath meet the rhythm of the waves.
This practice was on our sunlit deck (I think Karl had it built just for me!!) just after the Summer Solstice. Notice the light... the clouds... the quiet.
Wherever you are, may this be your gentle reminder that your practice doesn't have to be perfect. It simply has to begin. 🤍
Namaste,
Loretta Jo
