Sunday- Sweaty Soul Session with Grace
I always think of to like a spaceship. We lift off and our relationship with breath and gravity changes. A flow that will take you to heaven then land you safely home. When we exit the spaceship you feel refreshed, renewed and somehow changed. It is the beauty of coming face to face with the true self.

Saturday Skilled Body Project
This class based on moving skillfully through the functional line of the body. It shrinks and tones the arms, whittles the waistline, lifts the inner thighs and flattens the lower abdominal like crazy. It is also helps brain function through working opposing limbs and using spirals. We use light hand and ankle weights to extend, tone and expand energetically. The angles require precision and tracking with your eyes, which gets you out of your usuall thought loop, leaving you feeling refreshed and light hearted.
As always it is Way Fun!
The class is limited to 20. Students need to wear sneakers.
2 hour class 10am-12 noon in West End.

And at OM’erica: The Yoga Fest, we can practice together.
Join us May 2nd from 0900 to 1300 at the Sunrise Theater green space in downtown Southern Pines, NC for OM’erica: The Yoga Fest. A day of yoga that represents the American Yogi family.
The day will highlight veteran-owned businesses, vendors, organizations and include four outdoor classes taught by certified yoga instructors who are also vets.
The proceeds of the event will benefit the community on two fronts. First, the money raised will send one veteran through 200-hour yoga teacher training through Hot Asana Yoga University. Additionally, a portion of the proceeds will go directly to The Exalted Warrior Foundation, a 503(c) nonprofit that facilitates adaptive yoga instruction for wounded warriors across the country.
Price of entry gets you admission to four classes as well as access to vendors, raffles, beer and food trucks!
Bring your mat, a towel, and favorite yoga buddies for a morning of peace and community.
And as always, American Yogi merch will be available for purchase, including a limited-edition shirt designed especially for the event!
