Open Door Yoga Studio
Open Door Yoga was founded and currently run by one of the most experienced and educated hot yoga teachers in North Carolina. Having 18 plus years of experience in the hot room, Monica Shannon has learned many lessons about how to best leverage the power of the heat without draining the system. They offer a balanced class schedule, using unheated classes of various styles in order to offer a very unique complementary balance to either an avid hot yogi or those who have intense lives outside of the yoga room and just need to decompress and move in a non-strenuous way. While they really like the heated practice, they know it is not for everyone and that there are times when a heated practice is not the answer for those who do it a lot. Their unheated offerings will vary season to season, but they will always offer Restorative and gentler classes on their permanent schedule. They are constantly exploring intelligent and mindful ways to increase the functionality of the body, using both science and their own exploration of movement through critical thinking. They have seasonal special events, workshops and trainings throughout the year in order to help you educate yourself at your own pace. No matter what class you are taking, they focus on functional sustainability, breath, and how to take care of yourself. It’s all done in a low key environment where they push you to work your hardest without any judgment of the result of trying. In fact, the only time you may get applauded in class is when you fall out of a posture or lay down to nap instead!
Raleigh NC Yoga
