ICYMI in yesterday’s newsletter:

I’m writing to you today with a heart full of gratitude and profound peace, but also with the bittersweet news that the CFY-Oakhurst studio will be closing its doors on December 15, 2024. This decision wasn’t made lightly and was carefully thought out from a space of being fiscally responsible.

To everyone who has walked through our doors—whether you came for one class or one hundred —you’ve helped uphold a place of love, service and support in the Oakhurst community. This space has been filled with many emotional moments and we feel deeply blessed to have shared time and energy with you.

To our wonderful teachers, thank you for showing up with such passion and dedication. You’ve been the heartbeat of this studio, offering your knowledge, energy, and care to every student who arrived on their mat. The impact you’ve made will ripple through our students long after the last class is taught as CFY- Oakhurst.

For those of you with class passes, please know you can continue to use them here at Oakhurst through December 15th. After that, we will honor your passes at our CFY - Concord location (virtual or in person). Current memberships will be cancelled as of November 15th, and you will continue to have access to all classes until December 15th. We'd also love to have you visit us virtually at Concord (or make the drive in person!).

As you continue your yoga journey, I want to point you toward some amazing spaces in the community that I know will take good care of you: QC Fit and Pranayama House, both black-owned studios led by the brilliant Dr. Felicia Hall and heart-led Bethany Anderson (respectively), and The Coterie, owned by the incredible sweet soul that is Caiti Sheff. Each of these studios offers a space of growth, healing, love, support and connection, just as we’ve tried to cultivate here at CFY - Oakhurst.

Though this chapter is closing, I hope you carry forward the love and connection we’ve shared in this space. Thank you for being a part of this journey!

With blessings, love and deep gratitude,
Vicie 💜✨

Pre-Election Peaceful Yoga Practices

Join us for two unique and intentional pre-election yoga experiences focused on cultivating inner peace, balance, and compassion—no matter the outcome. We will be offering two unique classes:

Compassionate Flow (Vinyasa)

This dynamic Vinyasa flow will center on grounding and heart-opening poses to encourage resilience and open-heartedness. Expect a sequence that moves with the rhythm of your breath, including heart-centered meditation, setting an intention for compassion and understanding.

Intention: “May we move with compassion for ourselves and others, finding strength in our breath and softness in our hearts.”

Yin to Restorative

Our Yin to Restorative session will invite you to slow down and release any tension or anxieties with long-held, passive postures. We will use props to support the body and end with a guided meditation focused on letting go of expectations, embracing the present, and cultivating compassion for all.

Intention: “In this stillness, we create space for understanding, acceptance, and peace.”

Come with an open heart, leave with a peaceful mind. We can’t wait to meet you on your mat ✨

🌍 World Mental Health Day 🧘‍♀️

Hey tribe! It’s Vicie from Charlotte Family Yoga inviting you to take a pause and breathe 😮‍💨 Today, I encourage you to engage in a simple, yet powerful practice: Loving-Kindness Meditation. This meditation nurtures compassion, love, patience and peace, starting with yourself and radiating outward to others ✨

🧠 🩵✨Loving-Kindness Meditation 🩵

🤍 Close your eyes and take a deep breath in through your nose, exhaling slowly through your mouth.

🤍 Silently repeat:
“May I be happy.
May I be healthy.
May I be safe.
May I live with ease.”

🤍 Now, think of someone you love and send them the same wishes:
“May you be happy.
May you be healthy.
May you be safe.
May you live with ease.”

🤍 Gradually extend this loving-kindness to others, including people you may have challenges with and, finally, to all beings.

This practice of presence and patience connects us to our own heart and spreads love and kindness beyond ourselves. Take a moment to care for your mental health today and always 🩵
