THE RALEIGH YOGA CENTER


What Is Yoga?



Yoga (union) is a complete system for the development of the human being, integrating body, mind, and spirit. The benefits of Yoga may be experienced on different levels:

  • a relaxing pause from life in the fast lane.
  • a means for strengthening and invigorating the body and mind.
  • a therapy for many physical and psychological difficulties or ailments.
  • a path to higher states of consciousness.


  • Our teaching at the Raleigh Yoga Center stems from a classical Yoga background and is strongly influenced by B. K. S. Iyengar, one of the foremost Yoga teachers in the world today and author of the classic Light on Yoga. His style is unsurpassed in grace, subtlety, and precision. The Iyengar method can be vigorous and aerobic, emphasizing careful postural alignment, full spinal extension, and building of stamina and endurance. This leads to a balance of strength and flexibility and to the development of self-awareness through both precision in movement and attention to the subtle aspects of posture and breathing.

    Please join us in classes at the Raleigh Yoga Center, a space where you can find a more creative way toward the understanding of, caring for, and growing in your physical, mental, and emotional selves.
