our founder<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Welcome to Neighborhood Yoga. We are a community of yoga practitioners, teachers, and people who want to make a positive change in their lives. Yoga has taught me how to navigate life in ways I\u2019ve never imagined, and all it asks back is that we do it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We started small, in 2005, in a studio built by me and my husband (literally in the neighborhood) in our hometown of Boone, NC. Ten years later we renovated the top floor of the Historic Farmer\u2019s Hardware building and moved to our current location in downtown Boone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We have teachers from all different lineages because I believe that no one teacher or one style is for everyone. If you\u2019ve tried yoga and decided it wasn\u2019t for you, then maybe you just haven\u2019t found the right teacher yet. But I believe yoga is so much more than something we practice on our mats. It\u2019s also a way of engaging with the world, both our interior and exterior worlds. Yoga is not something to approach with ambition or competitiveness, but instead with a sense of curiosity. Because it\u2019s much less about how we are doing the poses and more about what we learn about ourselves in the process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I hope you\u2019ll join us on this amazing journey! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We’d love to see you in the Neighborhood.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
