Yoga in the Foothills of NC

Foothills Yoga represents a rural, yoga sangha (community) located in the beautiful and rolling hills of Western North Carolina. The focus is on teaching yoga that is based on natural alignment of the human body, popularized in the United States by B.K.S. Iyengar.

At Foothills Yoga, students progress at their own pace, in a supportive learning environment. Magi teaches by demonstrating the pose first, and then likes to roam around the room to see that students are “getting it”. When difficulty arises, she tries making use of the various props or making gentle, hands- on adjustments when necessary.

The classes follow a natural progression of warm up, deeper intensity, and then a final relaxation at the close of each class. A restorative yoga class is offered every 6-8 weeks. Restorative yoga uses lots of blankets to support the body lying in various ways to reach deep levels of relaxation.
