Alight Yoga Ayurveda Adventure

Alight Yoga Ayurveda Adventure Welcome to Alight Yoga Ayurveda Adventure! Land gracefully. Burn brightly. ✨ Alight is a collective of teachers, students, and seekers.
(204)

Born of the coming together of three Charlotte-based yoga communities — Be Yoga, Sangati, and Heart of the Matter Yoga — we evolved into Be Yoga Collective in 2021 and then Alight in 2024. Our roots are in Anusara Yoga, Vinyasa Flow, Mindful Movement, and Ayurveda. We pay attention to alignment because it keeps us safe, sustains our practice, and helps us grow. We listen to our breath because we believe our most abiding teacher is within. We embrace diversity because it makes our community (and this world) more beautiful. Alight means both landing gracefully and lighting up…

We hope our community offers you a soft space to land, to lighten your load amidst the upheaval of daily life. We also hope — through the practices and playfulness of Yoga, Ayurveda, and Adventure — we inspire you to burn a little brighter, to light up this world with the best of who you already are.

Holla if your kids just went back to school! 😅 It’s hard to believe we’re heading into autumn... except when waking up to these beautiful, cool mornings. Here’s comes Vata season!

The elements of the Ayurvedic dosha of Vata are Air and Ether. Vata is light and mobile, like air, and clear and spacious, like ether. Vata governs movement, communication, and intuition.

And Vata thrives with boundaries! 🙌

Think of the blown-up balloon holding air, the great idea grounded by an even better plan, the sense of freedom supported by security.

When Vata season starts to sneak into the end of Pitta’s playful summer, it’s time to get back to our routines.

It’s time to reprioritize self care. 👈

Take care of yourself in September and October, and you’ll feel better throughout the cold and bitter winter months to come.

That how Ayurveda works! It’s as much about preparing for what’s to come as it is about responding to what’s present. 😍

Here’s a handy tip sheet that you can print out and hang on your fridge or in your office... or wherever you can easily refer back to it over the next few months.

Yoga Philosophy in an Age of Madness

I’m SO EXCITED to share that my longtime Yoga Philosophy teacher, Douglas Brooks, is coming to Charlotte next month! 👏

Douglas Brooks, esteemed philosophy teacher and leader of the Rajanaka community — seekers exploring mythology, yoga, philosophy, and the arts to deepen understanding, cultivate compassion, and live with intention — is coming to Charlotte, Friday September 26th - Sunday September 28th!

It will be a weekend full of rich conversation, heartwarming company, and deep-rooted Yoga Philosophy to help us navigate the ups and downs and sideways (and even the madness) of modern life. 🙏

About Rajanaka:
Rajanaka is a tradition of learning rooted in South Indian wisdom and shaped by global humanist inquiry. We explore mythology, yoga, art, literature, and philosophy as a way to better understand ourselves and the world. With no fixed doctrines, Rajanaka is a spacious, inclusive conversation—a community of curious seekers committed to reflective study, compassion, and shared human possibility.

What would you give to feel better? To MOVE better? To have less pain?

Would you give an hour for Therapeutic Yoga? 😍

In Therapeutic Yoga, we focus on alignment — good alignment — for stability, mobility, ease, and expansion. And good alignment is not only helpful in building poses... it’s therapeutic.

I love to remind yoga students (and aspiring yoga teachers) that the same alignment that supports a safe and sustainable practice helps us grow — into those “fancy” poses, if we so desire — and helps us HEAL.

I’ve endured several injuries in my 25 years of practicing yoga. Some from stretching too far or muscling through while out of alignment, on the mat. Some from running and extreme sports like childbirth. 😘 And some from the many out-of-alignment shapes (think: hunching, slumping, hauling, and my personal favorite: high heels) that we all create off the mat.

And of all the healing modalities I’ve tried, Therapeutic Yoga and Ayurveda (more on the latter, later) are the ones I come back to again and again to bring my body (and mind/heart/spirit) back into balance.

To feel better! 😅

In August, we’re excited to welcome Kelly Haas — the absolute Queen of Therapeutic Yoga — to Palestra Studio, for a 4-week Yoga Therapy series.

Can you carve out an hour? Or all four?

Your body will thank you! 😊

p.s. Speaking of Therapeutics, I’m offering an Align & Refine Series in August as well... it’s Back to School month! Let’s get excited about learning and healing, together! 👏
