Deborah Winegar Gift

WinegarMonoprint

Be sure to notice Deborah Winegar's monoprint "Contemplation," which is now at home in our reception area.  Centered Wellness is so very grateful for Deborah's talent and generosity in making a gift of her art to the studio.  "Contemplation" is an inspiring and beautiful visual representation of the work we do each day at Centered Wellness.  Thank you, Deborah, from the bottom of our hearts!          

 
Thought for Today

The thought manifests as the word;
The word manifests as the deed;
The deed develops into habit;
And habit hardens into character.
So watch the thought and its ways with care,
and let it spring from love
born out of concern for all beings.
- The Buddha

 
Inclement Weather

We love yoga, but the safety of students and teachers is our primary concern ... so occasionally classes will be cancelled.

Please check the Yoga for Life website if you have any question about class cancellations because of weather.  We will always publish studio closures at least an hour (hopefully more) before any class is cancelled.  If a class is not identified as cancelled on the Home Page, we plan to offer it as scheduled.

 
Workshop with Shobhan and Danna

Mark your calendar!  Shobhan and Danna Faulds will return to Yoga for Life March 26-28!

Invite your family, friends and neighbors to a free lecture on Friday evening - "From the Inside Out:  The Way of Self-Discovery."  Also plan to join us for the weekend workshop, which promises to be inspiring, provocative and FUN!  "Move into Knowing:  The Power of the Felt Sense" workshop is comprised of three sessions - 2 on Saturday and 1 on Sunday.  Give yourself the gift of all three sessions or join us for part of the workshop.

"Yoga Matters" at Yoga for Life

Upcoming Events

- 3/5 - [No Yoga Matters]
- 3/19 - Mothering Across Continents
- 4/2 - TBA
- 4/16 - Substance Abuse Prevention Service

Yoga for Life offers classes at 6:00 p.m. on the 1st and 3rd Friday of each month to benefit non-profit entities in our community! The 75-minute classes are taught by different teachers and the price is whatever donation students are able or willing to offer. All donated proceeds go directly to the beneficiary organization.

What an opportunity! Yoga Matters offers the experience of yoga to the staff, donors and friends of local organizations who may not have an existing practice! Yoga Matters introduces new students to Yoga for Life! Yoga Matters raises money for deserving organizations, many of which are currently experiencing significant financial hardship. Yoga Matters also offers great yoga at the "right price" for students who may also be on a budget.  We will share some great yoga … and often have a snack together afterward!

Organizations benefiting from past Yoga Matters events include Seigle Avenue Partners, Catawba Lands Conservancy, Leukemia & Lymphoma Society, Humane Society, Jacob's Ladder, Hornets Nest Girl Scout Council, All Together Now International, Circle de Luz, Carolina Raptor Center, the Alzheimer's Association of Western Carolina, Men's Shelter of Charlotte, A Child's Place and The Center of Hope.  More than $3,000 was raised in 2009!

Bring your friends because Yoga Matters!  Yoga Really Matters!

You Asked for It

If you've enjoyed eating the Dark Chocolate Clusters we've been serving at Centered Wellness, you'll really appreciate how simple they are to make.  You'll need the following ingredients:

  • 1 lb. Dark Chocolate
  • 1 c. Unsweetend Craisins (or less to taste)
  • 1 c. Lightly Salted Cashew Pieces (or less to taste)

Melt the chocolate over low heat, stirring continuously.  Allow to cool slightly.  Stir in craisins and cashews.  Drop by spoonfuls on cookie sheets and refrigerate for at least 90 minutes.  Release clusters by pressing diagonal corners of the cookie sheet.  Enjoy!!! 

Many students have also asked for the recipe for Yogi Tea. Maureen Scott has graciously agreed to share. Click here for the recipe.
