The art and practice of yoga is to invite aliveness and embodiment. Through stretching, strengthening, breath, and relaxation, we energize ourselves and release toxicity and tension. We cultivate flexibility and improve the range of motion in the joints. Through regular practice, we develop a core strength that gives way to a deep sense of harmony, balance, and resilience. As a wise old yogi once said, “Blessed are the flexible, for they shall not be bent out of shape.”
This class is for individuals with some yoga experience. Each class will combine seated and standing postures with vinyasa, [...]

By Jen Oldham, on August 23rd, 2010 This past weekend was the NC Division’s annual fall meeting. As an organization we usually meet in August (planning session) and at Divisional Qualifiers (to vote in officers). We had average attendance, a small group, but mostly “the core.” Most of the usual things (scheduling) had been tidied up and we had a great planning/brainstorming session about developing coaching clinics in the state, how to/can we better serve collegiate clubs and a nice patting on the back for ‘hangin’ in there’ with some radical management changes in how our organization works. And boy, does it [...]

International
By Matthew Cox, on August 9th, 2010 March 20th of this year, I took the hardest exam I’ve taken, since perhaps the final exam of my Chem 51 class at UNC. But, instead of the cryptic ins and outs of Inorganic Chemistry, I was sitting for my licensing exam to become an international sabre official. The preparation time was about the same for both exams, but the classroom was different. Instead of listening to Dr. Jicha ramble on about electron orbits and chelates, I prepared for this exam by standing in front of lots of fencing bouts, both in the clubs where I trained and at the national [...]
