Workshops at Evolve Yoga offer you the opportunity to expand your horizons on the yoga mat and experience new creative approaches to your practice in the studio and at home.

We invite guest teachers from the global yoga community and encourage our very own local teachers to share their unique perspectives in these in-depth explorations of the yoga evolution. Come enhance your practice, enliven your mind and embrace a new pathway of Flow Yoga.

Join Michelle Corey in Fighting Ovarian Cancer
Sunday, October 18, 10am - Noon, Suggested Donation $25

Our Shri Flow class will celebrate Love and its enduring power...

In the endless verdant garden of love,
Sorrow and joy are not the only fruits,
Love lies higher on the trees than these two,
Remaining through all seasons, green and fresh.
                    - Rumi

Please join me in a two-hour Shri Flow class, celebrating the life of my sister Bridget who passed away from this awful disease last May.  At the young age of forty, she left behind three beloved daughters, Kaitlyn, Addie and Erin and her husband Keith. 100% of the proceeds will go directly to Ovarian Cancer research at UNC Lineberger Comprehensive Cancer Center.


 

Visit again soon for more fall workshop offerings!
