PITTSBORO, NC - At approximately 6:00 AM this morning (11/22/2025), a Pittsboro Police Department officer was involved in a motor vehicle accident on East Street while responding to an emergency call.

Preliminary investigation shows that, while the officer was driving with lights and siren activated, another driver pulled into the road in front of the patrol vehicle, leading to a collision.

While the officer was transported to the hospital for evaluation, only minor injuries resulted, and all parties are expected to fully recover. East St was closed during the investigation, but has since reopened.

The North Carolina State Highway Patrol was requested to lead the investigation, and additional information will be provided when available.

💚 About this class:
Flow Yoga is a breath-centered, dynamic practice that blends mindful movement with strength-building sequences. You’ll move through creative and fluid postures—sometimes slow and intentional, sometimes more energetic and heat-building—all designed to support flexibility, balance, and body awareness. While the pace and transitions may vary, the common thread is the breath, which guides each movement and grounds the mind in the present moment.

Expect a full-body experience that encourages you to challenge yourself in a way that feels nourishing and sustainable. Modifications and options are always offered, making this a welcoming class for a wide range of students looking to move, breathe, and build strength with intention.

Physical challenge: 2-3 out of 4

“I had so many rich, lively conversations with our yoga teacher trainees this weekend about yoga philosophy. It always amazes me how alive these thousands-year-old teachings still are—how the ancient yogis understood our minds and our hearts in ways that modern psychology is only now beginning to confirm. And somehow, as we grow and change, these teachings seem to grow and change with us. What felt abstract a year ago might suddenly feel intimate and obvious today. Yoga meets us exactly where we are, and then quietly invites us somewhere new.

And yet, how is it that we can relate so deeply to a framework that’s so old? Part of it is that the classical yogic texts were never meant to be read the way we read modern books. They’re intentionally cryptic, spacious, and layered. For most of Yoga’s history, a student didn’t study from paper—they studied through relationship. Sanskrit itself is designed to hold multiple meanings inside a single word, like a seed packed with potential. The teachings stay slightly ahead of us on purpose: you’re not supposed to “get it” all at once. You’re supposed to return to them again and again, each time discovering something new because you are someone new. Yoga evolves in us as we evolve—and that mutual shaping is part of its enduring brilliance.”-Lexie

On the longest night of the year, we come together to honor the winter season and the quiet light within. Join Maia Rhenish for a heart-centered gathering of sound and ceremony.

The evening will begin with a rose tea meditation, opening our senses to the gentle, healing frequency of Rose. We’ll then flow into slow somatic movement and vocal toning, preparing the body and heart for an hour-long sound bath journey focused on the heart chakra.

Bathed in Maia’s voice, gong, singing bowls, chimes, tuning forks, and drums, you’ll be guided into a space of inner peace and heartfelt connection. Together, we’ll embrace the darkness as a time to rest deep, reflect, and open to the returning light.

Do you know your grief? Can you recognize it - locate it - name it - be with it - release it. Are you curious what elements of grief are living within you?

Grief is a natural, and often painful response, to the death of something that has meaning in one’s life. It is a container, a vessel, where our emotions gather. Emotions that arise in reaction to an experience of discomfort, suffering or pain - they gather in grief.

Join us as we cultivate specific practices that help us find ease in our bodies and minds. Our time together includes guided movements taken from the Kundalini yoga tradition, breath-work, stillness, and conversation, plus live music and sound.

heart2heart believes that these modalities of healing are important and accessible to all humans seeking to heal their sorrows and to remember their sacred path in life.

This is Restorative Yoga reimagined!

Unwind deeply in this unique, extended class that blends the gentle, healing practice of restorative yoga with the nurturing touch of deep hands-on assists. Grounded in stillness and breath, we’ll use bolsters, blocks, and blankets to rest the body in fully supported positions, allowing the nervous system to shift into rest and repair mode. While you rest in these long-held poses, Meadow will offer deep hands-on assists that include stretches, pressure, and energy line work to help the body unwind more effectively, improving range of movement and circulation, while also promoting a profound sense of ease in both body and mind.

This class is suitable for all levels, but please advise your instructor if you have any injuries or illnesses that may require special consideration.

While they are a key component to this class, all hands-on assists are optional and offered with consent.

$50, limited spots - must register in advance!
