Yoga was not designed and passed through generations and across borders to make us comfortable with injustice.

The Yamas are not vague spiritual concepts. They are ethical commitments. The first, Ahimsa, demands we oppose harm, even when it is carried out by power, justified through policy, or hidden behind the guise of safety and order.

Violence doesn’t become sacred because it’s official, and aggression doesn’t become moral because it’s normalized.

Ahimsa is the refusal to dehumanize.
The refusal to numb out.
The refusal to let hear harden the heart.

Action matters, how we act matters more.
Right action is rooted in clarity, not rage.
In duty, not ego.
In care for the whole, not domination of the other.

Yoga doesn’t ask us to be silent, it asks us to be conscious.

Choosing presence, compassion, and resistance to harm is not “apolitical” it is ethical. If our practice cannot hold this moment then we must ask who our yoga is really for.

May our practice help us stay human,
For ourselves and for each other 🪷

All beings deserve safety & liberation from suffering. We refuse to sit back and let the fear of 🧊 dim the light that glows in resistance.

New face on the schedule!

Help me welcome a new to Lotus teacher to our incredible team! is subbing our Friday morning Solar flow this week and you’ll start to see her name woven in on our schedule periodically 🌀

Taylor is the founder of .tribeeee and recently relocated back to Winston Salem after living in Hawaii for the last few years. She is a Holistic Therapist, intuitive guide, transformational leader, and incredible teacher!
“I use my wisdom to guide people into their heart space to get clear on their desires and what true liberation looks and feels like. I’ve witnessed the powerful transformation and healing that takes place by holding space for others to be their whole, unfiltered human selves, where everything about their experience is welcome, loved, and seen. I am here to offer you that space, the chance to be truly understood, and the chance to re-write the stories that have held you back and prevented you from living life to the fullest.”

Book you Solar Flow with her this Friday 9:30 am ✨

A weekend with Michelle 🪷 is leading an immersion this November at Lotus Yoga

This is open to everyone, current RYTs can receive 15 hours of CEU. Link in bio to sign up, sign up by October 3rd during our Early Booking promo 🌀

Yoga is an ancient practice designed to support us in skillfully meeting whatever might arise, moment to moment. In this weekend immersion, we will engage in spiritual practice to meet the uncertainty life presents and the challenging times we are experiencing because of the social and political context, social unrest, climate chaos, collective loss, and the unsettling times we find ourselves now. This offering explores how yoga assists us in clarifying our dharma (purpose or duty), being in our shared humanity and right relationship with the more-than-human world, reducing individual and collective suffering, and inviting more ease into our and others’ lives.

Throughout our session, we will explore…
• Personal and Collective Healing
• Individual and Collective Grief
• How We Heal Together
• Finding Refuge and Points of Ease
• Our Interconnectedness
• The Bhagavad Gita and Skill in Action
• The Kleshas
• How to Hold Space For Your Own and Others’ Suffering

The immersion will include meditation, pranayama, asana, self-study and reflection, small and large group discussions, and rituals.

We recommend reading Skill in Action prior to this weekend immersion along with We Heal Together and Finding Refuge. Find Michelle’s collection of published works on her site

Michelle C. Johnson is an author, spiritual teacher, social justice activist, racial equity educator, beekeeper, and healer. She approaches her life and work from a place of empowerment, embodiment, and integration. With a deep understanding of trauma and the impact that it has on the mind, body, spirit, and heart, much of her work focuses on helping people better understand how power and privilege operate in their lives toward the goal of collective liberation. She has published several books that explore the theme of collective healing and skillful action.

The Membership you need to realize your deep, soul centered purpose & the community that will hug you along the way ✨

Being a member at Lotus is more than frequent practice opportunities…it’s a sense of belonging. It’s a community that vibrates at a healing frequency and truly cares about the individual as well as the whole.

Our members practice with consistency, for a long time, and they check in on each other - building relationship both on the mat & off. We challenge one another - in thought, in physicality, in spiritual devotion.

We aren’t a one size fits all studio, and our members are celebrated for their unique energy that they boldly share through practice & presence.

Join as a member and watch who you become by 2026. You have the power to shift your entire reality.
