The studio is open during this most fabulous winter weather.  Check the schedule as some classes have been cancelled but not all.  I live just around the corner so for those that can make it I would encourage you all to come.  It's just beautiful from the inside.  Gaze out the windows throughout your asanas while settling into a warm and inspiring practice.  For those that braved it this morning thank you and.... wasn't it awesome!  

OK, let's make something clear here.  This is the most common question that I get.  The studio is a toasty 75-85 degrees depending on the class.  Beginner's and seniors don't exactly need to fry their brain cells while trying to practice and learn about yoga.  Our Vinyasa and Anjali class is on the warmer side and yes, YOU WILL SWEAT.  I don't want people passing out, throwing up or leaving and never coming back because of the heat.  So all I can offer those that have the heat addiction is to come and try it out.  If it's not hot enough for you, speak up and we will do a few more SuryaNamaskara B's and crank up your internal furnace.  

Our opening weekend was a huge success.  Thank you to everyone who attended classes, sent me well wishing emails and a special thanks to Diana and Christina; Anjali's most fantastic instructors.  We had all levels of yogis attend both yoga classes and Diana's Pilates & Heartfit Barre classes.  I personally attended all the classes and am so excited with the variety of offerings for all levels.  I have to admit that I am completely worn out from all the work but my body has never felt better.  Did someone mention Gatorade...???  I'm still thirsty.


If you're a pilates practitioner, come try some yoga.  If your a yogi, come try the Heartfit Barre.  Nothing like a little cross training to keep your body thinking and working different muscle groups.  There's no better place to start your new year than at our beautiful Anjali Yoga Studio.

Special thanks to Ann Owen for all of the beautiful flowers she donated and to Doug and Isis from Direct TV for their beautiful tropical bouquet delivered on Saturday.  What a heartwarming surprise.  Thank you!!!

Wendsday and Saturday evenings from 6:00-7:30.  Deepen your practice at Anjali Yoga Studio.  We will work with the ropes and barre, spend time on proper alignment, move through vinyasa flow and take you to the next level.  We will also take requests for each class offering focus on certain areas such as hips, backbending, twists, shoulders, inversions etc.  Come join us for fun, good music and focus.

Get ready, get set..... forward fold!


I've been having some amazing yoga sessions.  The studio has fantastic uplifting energy.  This is YOUR sanctuary!  Welcome...

The contractors pulled through.  Classes will begin Jan 23rd.  I'll be at the studio all week finishing up the details.  Please feel free to come by and visit, do a little yoga, check out the ropes etc.

Well, many of you may have guessed as did I that construction will not be complete by the 15th.  So we are opening on the 23rd!

Welcome Christina!  Christina just relocated to Southern Pines this week.  She teaches English at Sandhills Community College and will also be teaching the Foundation and Deep and Mellow Classes at Anjali.  Christina is originally from Northern California and has been practicing various styles of yoga for over 10 years.  She has a beautiful smile and great energy.  She has also graciously agreed to teach the 6:30 am class on Tues & Thurs so for all of you working folk that "don't have time" well, now you at least have a wonderful early morning option.  

I can't express what a pleasure it is to announce Diana Forte-Turner's involvement with The Anjali Yoga Studio.  I don't think I could have created a more perfect individual for the classes that she will be teaching:  Pilates and her trademark HearfitBarre.  Diana's passion and experience in body movement, dance, ballet, and the performing arts are unparalleled.  Drawing on over 30 years of experience, Diana brings her style, expertise and influence to Southern Pines.  We are so happy to have her!!!
Thank you for joining Diana!!
