Join us on Sunday from 3–5pm as we celebrate this completion with love, music, and gratitude. We’ll hold a simple ceremony to close the circle. When we opened Yoga Garden in June of 2021, we walked clockwise around the building with our friends from heart2heart leading the way. This time, we’ll walk together counterclockwise to close the circle. Bring a small hand drum if you have one. There will be song, reflection, and community. Simple and sweet. Please join us if you feel called. I’d absolutely love to see you.

Celebrating the vitality of spring and the arrival of new life….Bill highlights the upcoming Mother’s Day schedule at the studio. The day features a full lineup of classes including Hatha, Flow Yoga, Kundalini, and Yoga Nidra—and of course, you're invited to join the community!

Yoga asks us to stay awake. To pay attention. To question what we’re being told and to look a little more deeply for ourselves. To move through the world with some intention, even when it would be easier to drift. It’s no wonder I was drawn to yoga later—and to all the creative, independent, and deeply caring people who have made up our Yoga Garden community. Here there was a kind of belonging that isn’t about sameness, but about a shared orientation toward living with loving awareness.

The wonders are always here if you look with fresh eyes. Bill reflects on nature’s impermanence and invites you to join Yoga Garden PBO for our final month of classes and special events.

Bill sends you a heartfelt invitation to put away distractions, embrace presence, and fully inhabit the time we have - now. With the studio closing in May, our time together in this space is not endless. That makes it even more worth inhabiting fully. So come practice. Have the conversations. Sit in stillness together. Not out of urgency or fear, but out of gratitude.

With a full and deeply grateful heart, Lexie shares that Yoga Garden will be closing its doors this May. after nearly nine years of serving as a space for practice and community. With gratitude and tenderness, the community is invited to gather, practice, and celebrate together in the studio’s final months and at a closing ceremony in mid-May.

During our time in India, Bill and I didn’t have much bandwidth, but we checked in briefly with the outside world most days. From halfway around the world it looked like there were just two local channels for much of January: snow, and monks! It was a joy to witness the story of the monks walking right past the studio and stopping here in Pittsboro. The outpouring of love and inspiration they were met with reveals a deep longing: for meaning, for kindness and for a safe place to land.
