Are you looking for a thoughtful and active way to ring in Valentine’s weekend this year? Check out these five local yoga-inspired events to get out of the house and into a calm, inspired place (physically and mentally!). Take yourself on a solo date or bring along a loved one!
Saturday, February 14
Vision & Goals Workshop, 1-2pm
With guidance from a lululemon goal coach, we’re going to put pen to paper! Write out what it is you really want. Bring in any images/photos that inspire the vision of your ideal life. This session is all about getting real so you can turn your dreams into reality or get on the right path to love your life. RIDE Cycle Studio, Durham
The Poets, A Hot Heart Flow, 1:30pm-3:15pm with Josephine McCrann
This hour and 45 minutes of movement is designed to create a supportive space in which you will explore liberating heart-openers that encourage your love to shine. No one else in the world deserves your love more than you, so come bend, open, clear and refill your heart before beginning celebrations, whether they are your own or shared with someone special. Have no fear, there won’t be anything too mushy, promise. Sign up here. Hot Asana, Durham
Thai Yoga appointments Friday through Sunday
Integrative Thai Yoga is a comprehensive, full-body treatment, starting at the feet and progressing to the head. The practitioner uses their entire body: thumbs, palms, elbows, feet, and knees to move, loosen and stretch your body, working the muscles, soft tissues, tendon, ligaments and bringing mobility to the joints. Flexibility is not required to receive the benefits. This work can be useful for all body types. Recipients of Thai Yoga do not have to lift a finger – the practitioner does all of the work! Schedule a 60- 75- or 90-minute session with Sona Desai for yourself or a loved one this weekend. Mention this post and receive 20% off Valentine’s weekend Thai Yoga services. Space is limited so inquire today! Email or call 919-302-3225. Loom Thai Yoga Studio, Raleigh
