TONIGHT

An Evening of Gentle Movement, Sound Healing, Intuitive Reflection & Soulful Sisterhood
Facilitated by Alexis Besosa, E-RYT-200 & Crystal Bright, Musician & Sound Healer

Step into a sacred space created just for women — a nurturing circle where you can soften, release, and reconnect with your inner wisdom and the healing power of community.

Over the course of two hours, we’ll move through a thoughtfully crafted journey together:
-Opening & Centering – Arrive fully, ground into the space, and set intentions.
-Vocal Toning & Mantra — simple, guided sounds that free the voice, move energy, (like humming Om or Solfeggio frequencies) to clear energy and deepen your connection to breath and body.
-Gentle & Restorative Yoga with Live Music led by Alexis — grounding movement and supported stillness to reset the nervous system and open the body accompanied by Crystal Bright’s soothing live soundscapes.
-Live Sound Healing with musician Crystal Bright — bathe in healing vibrations while resting fully, with music using a combination of instruments, such as a frame drum, kalimba, crystal singing bowls, piano, accordion, and more.
-Intuitive Journaling or Creative Reflection — access your quiet inner voice through intuitive writing, creative exploration, or simply pausing with presence.
-Closing Circle — a chance to gather together and close with intention, in safe space of witnessing and sharing, where each woman is honored without judgment or advice. Sharing is welcome but never required—come just as you are.

Each circle is inspired by a chakra theme (from Root to Crown) — grounding, creativity, empowerment, compassion, truth, intuition, transcendence, and integration — creating a complete journey of balance and renewal.

This circle is for women seeking:
-Heartfelt connection and community
-Rest from the constant doing
-A reset for the nervous system
-A deeper relationship with intuition
-A reminder that they are not alone

No experience with yoga, sound healing, or journaling is necessary. Simply come as you are, ready to soften into presence, connect, and be held in the company of others.

We can’t wait to welcome you into this sacred space.

NEXT SERIES BEGINS JANUARY 15

Join Kelly and Neda for this six-week series designed to support you in the tender, transformative postpartum period. This class welcomes all new moms and birth parents—with or without your non-mobile baby—to move, breathe, and reconnect with your body in a safe, nurturing space.

Through gentle, mindful movement, you’ll begin to rebuild core and pelvic stability, release tension in the shoulders and hips, and restore balance to both body and mind. You’ll also have the chance to connect with other parents navigating this same season—sharing stories, laughter, and support.

Each class includes:
-Grounding breathwork to calm the nervous system
-Gentle core and pelvic floor reactivation
-Strength and mobility exercises for shoulders, hips, and spine
-Restorative poses for relaxation and release
-Community connection and space to share (if desired)

You’ll leave feeling more centered, supported, and empowered as you continue your postpartum healing journey.

Join Mary (pre/postnatal yoga teacher and certified pre/postnatal corrective exercise specialist) for a 3-hour workshop on how birth impacts your pelvic floor, and how yoga can help.

We’ll begin with a discussion covering why your pelvic floor is important, what happens during pregnancy and birth, and what you can do afterward to prevent or heal common issues such as prolapse, leaking, constipation, and hip or lower back pain. The discussion will include time for Q+A so you can bring your own questions.

After a short break for snacks and the bathroom, we’ll close with a yoga practice designed to restore balance in your pelvic floor.

This workshop is for you if:
-you’re currently pregnant or planning a pregnancy
-you’ve been pregnant before
-you’re newly postpartum
-you’ve given birth (doesn't matter when)
-you’ve had a Cesarean
-you gave birth vaginally
-you have symptoms of pelvic dysfunction (leaking, constipation, painful s*x, prolapse, hip pain)
-you want to know how to maintain a healthy pelvic floor

Join experienced prenatal yoga instructors Alaina Godfrey and Neda Dowlatshahi for a three-hour workshop designed to support both the birthing person and their chosen birth partner(s) as they prepare for labor. This interactive, informative session will offer practical tools and hands-on techniques that can be used throughout the late stages of pregnancy and during childbirth — no matter your birth plan or setting.

Together, we’ll explore:
-Breathwork to help manage intensity and regulate the nervous system
-Mantras and mindfulness techniques to stay focused and grounded
-Partner-supported poses that can ease discomfort and create connection
-Simple massage techniques and comfort positions to use during labor

This workshop is ideal for pregnant individuals in any stage of their pregnancy and the partner, friend, or support person who will be by their side during birth. It’s also a great opportunity to deepen your connection, improve communication, and build confidence as a team. You’ll leave with a better understanding of how to work with your body during labor, as well as how your partner can provide meaningful, hands-on support throughout the experience.

Our Story

Carolina Yoga Company is a group of sister studios ready to help you connect with yoga. The Carolina Yoga Company includes Carrboro Yoga, Durham Yoga, and Hillsborough Yoga. We serve the communities of Carrboro, Chapel Hill, Durham, Hillsborough, Pittsboro, and all of central North Carolina by creating a space for connection. This can be a connection of body, mind, and spirit; of the individual and the community; of mindfulness with action, thought, and feeling. Our classes meet you where you are, at any age and in any state of being. Join us to connect with the right yoga to help you find balance.

You’ll often find our owners, Sage Rountree and Lies Sapp, enjoying our broad range of class offerings. Together, Sage and Lies direct the Carolina Yoga Teacher Training program. Their commitment to well-being through balance extends to their other businesses, the Hillsborough Spa and Day Retreat and the Carolina Massage Institute.

We are both proud and humble to create a space for connection, community, and balance. Thank you for recognizing our hard work with numerous awards, including Best of the Triangle in the Independent Weekly poll for both Carrboro Yoga and Durham Yoga for five straight years. We are excited to continue to grow with you.

Her goal is to help people find the right balance between work and rest for peak performance in sports and in life. Author of seven books including The Athlete’s Guide to Yoga, Racing Wisely, Everyday Yoga, and Lifelong Yoga, she contributes to Runner’s World and Yoga Journal.

Lies Sapp, a former litigator, comes from a ballet background.

Her commitment to health and well being was extended last year by her conception and construction of the Hillsborough Spa and Day Retreat. She is also the co-owner of the Carolina Massage Institute. Lies dreams big, with creation of community as her prime directive.

About the Manager

Our studio manager is Jenni Tarma. A native of Finland, Jenni came to us by way of Los Angeles, where she enjoyed a decade-long career in the music industry before shifting her focus to teaching yoga. Jenni is a graduate of Sage Rountree’s Teaching Yoga to Athletes program, an RRCA-certified endurance coach, alifelong runner and athlete, and an enthusiastic if not particularly skilled surfer. An avid student of anatomy and functional movement, Jenni is currently working towards her 500-hour certification through Tiffany Cruikshank’s Yoga Medicine program. She also loves to write and is a regular contributor to Yoga Journal on the topics of anatomy and yoga for athletes. As a classic Type A personality and hater of loose ends, Jenni loves nothing more than answering your e-mail in as timely a manner as possible.

Studio History

Carrboro Yoga opened its doors in March 2004, with several of our current staff—including Sage, Ann Burrus, Molly Drake, and Lauren Sacks—on the original teacher roll. When its founder, Donia Robinson, moved to California in 2010), Sage and Lies bought the studio. Durham Yoga was born in 2012 with co-founder Olynda Smith, whom you’ll find teaching there on Sunday mornings. In 2015, we assumed ownership of Hillsborough Yoga from Paula Huffmann, another original Carrboro Yoga teacher.
