I was looking for place with yoga for a while, but has several specific things I was looking for. I…read moredon't like hot yoga, don't want to pay a fortune, don't want to drive across the triangle, and I'm pretty inexperienced/generally out of shape. So I'm providing a tall order. After doing some research, I found Bright Tree Yoga. They fit all the above requirements and had great reviews. I purchased a several class pack, and after just one class, I feel so good about my decision. The instructor was welcoming and offered great modifications to fit a diverse class. The class size was small, which I loved. I left feeling calmer and challenged in strength and balance - perfect for me! A few notes - not necessarily bad - just things I was surprised by. It's in a karate studio, so you're constantly staring at yourself in a mirror. I liked that for checking alignment, but also feel like it made people (me) more self-conscious and prone to compare, which isn't great for yoga. Also, the instructor didn't do yoga with us, which is totally fine. She led the class expertly, just something I've never experienced in a class before. I'll definitely be back to finish out my purchase package of classes, and probably even beyond that. Grateful to know about Bright Tree!

How have I not written a review of CPY yet? Probably because I selfishly don't want to spread the…read moreword of this AMAZING studio for fear of having crowded classes. When I first moved from Charlotte to Durham, I was so disappointed that there was not a Baptiste studio in the local area, but along came CPY afterward and I found my yoga home! For those who aren't familiar, the practice is heated and the poses are fast flow to help work your cardiovascular system. The studio has a small retail space up front, a community room with cubbies for your things, and a large practice space for classes. There is a water cooler to ensure your hydration, but the bathrooms are a bit small and do not showers. I tend to take weekend classes only, and I love the Sunday Service class because the teachers bring treats for after practice. The teachers are all amazing though! I only wish that they would offer more evening classes - say a 7:30 or 8pm class for those of us working parents. Also pro-tip: follow them on social media because they sometimes post discount codes to save money off class packs.

We were outside on a nice spring morning. Just the right amount of breezes. Yoga was new to me, but the meditation is something I'm familiar with.

The farm is beautiful and it was my first time on a farm. I enjoyed the tasty complimentary mock-tails at the end. I definitely left with a clear mind and fully rejuvenated. I slept much better that night.

I can totally see why PTs and Doctors refer their patients to Lyndsay for further recovery and healing. For me those docs could only take me so far, and through my practice at the Shala, I've been able to strengthen my body in a way where it wants to work at 100% again. I've been practicing yoga for many years, but due to some significant injuries from work I stopped practicing. Mainly because the way that I was practicing yoga at that point made things worse. Lyndsay teaches us how to use the strength from within our own core, our heart, and our breath to move outward through the rest of our limbs. Her easy to comprehend cues have made me look at how I walk, sit, and stand very differently. For years I couldn't sit for more than 20-30 minutes without being in pain. Now I can sit comfortably for hours. Every class includes pranayama breath work, meditation, and very detailed anatomical cues to fully grasp our own bodies better. Through consistent practice, I have not only been able to heal some years-long sustained injuries, but actually feel stronger than ever. Now I often look at my very physical job as a fun workout, rather than a way to further injure my body. As a bonus, the community at the Shala are a very welcoming and focused group of yogis all on their own path of personal growth. I feel very held in a safe space to work on my stuff too. If you've been looking for your yoga family, or you simply want to understand your own body better, or you have something you've been trying to heal for years, I highly recommend coming to one of her classes. You won't regret it. Eternally grateful to Lyndsay Bahn and the Jyotishmati Yoga Shala.
