“Yoga is like music. The rhythm of the body, the melody of the mind, and the harmony of the soul, create the symphony of life.” - B.K.S. Iyengar
Nestled in the beautiful Blue Ridge mountains of North Carolina, Brightwater Yoga is located in the hearth of historic downtown Hendersonville. We offer each person who walks through our door the opportunity to experience a life filled with peace, harmony, balance and overall well being. Some of the services we provide include, Massage, Pilates, and Yoga. At Brightwater Yoga, we believe that each of these services have to be experienced to be fully understood. Yoga, for example, is more than a series of physical exercises. It is a personal journey through which one can experience the value of being balanced, centered and coordinated. Through regular practice, the body becomes stronger and more flexible, with a mental clarity and emotional stability that cultivates a new new awareness and sensitivity applicable to daily life both on and off the mat. The seemingly simple benefits are profound and can be discovered the moment one steps onto the "mat." Classes at Brightwater Yoga are grounded primarily in the Iyengar method.
B.K.S. Iyengar is one of the foremost teachers of Yoga in the world. The Iyengar method is initially learned through the in-depth study of asanas (postures) and pranayama (breath control) with an emphasis on correct body alignment. Since all bodies are different, Sri B.K.S. Iyengar developed the use of props to help the body into the correct positions so that one can work within a range of motion that is safe and effective. Postures are held for considerable lengths of time to allow their effects to penetrate deeper within the individual. The value of Iyengar Yoga cannot be over-emphasized as it affects the whole human being from the outermost skin to the innermost being.
Leigh Ann's classes are taught in the tradition of B.K.S. Iyengar and are available to students of all ages and levels. In addition to the Iyengar classes, Community Flow, Anusara Yoga, Integrated Yoga, Yoga-Dance Fusion, Lebed Movement, and Gentle Yoga classes are also offered weekly. All classes combine the fundamentals and philosophy of Yoga with the basic principals of alignment and kinesiology. The result is remarkable!! So, come and experience for yourself the value of Yoga!!
