7. Ashtanga Yoga Outer Banks
Overall Ratings
5.0 based on 16 reviews
Ashtanga Yoga Center is a space dedicated to the practice of Ashtanga Yoga taught in the tradition of Sri K. Pattabhi Jois of the Krishnamacharya lineage. The practice consists of a sequence of postures that integrates breath, posture, and gaze and is taught at various levels, based on the needs and abilities of the student. The integration of breath and movement creates internal heat which purifies the body and increases blood circulation. This process of detoxification brings the experience of enhanced health and well-being, improving overall quality of life. The key to experiencing the fruits of this method of yoga is regular practice over time. As time passes, the body becomes strong and flexible. Balance and mental awareness are increased. As toxicity leaves the body, the mind becomes calm and relaxed. Together, we reach a deeper understanding of the human experience. We offer weekly group classes along with private sessions at your desired location. Bring a towel as you will sweat. Water is available at the studio. Serving the entire Outer Banks area including Nags Head, Kitty Hawk, Kill Devil Hills, Manteo, Duck, Southern Shores, Wanchese, Hatteras, and Ocracoke.

I recently attended a weekend workshop with Michelle Dorer, and it has been my third year in a row attending this workshop. The section of workshop that is a prepared talk on the Yoga Sutras, and an open community discussion, I truly love and is why I keep attending this workshop. Michelle is certainly knowledgeable and well researched when approaching the subject of the Yoga Sutras and more intangible, spiritual aspects of yoga. It is clear the subject, study and practice of Ashtanga yoga is her passion. I enjoy her unique perspective, one of significant experience, but what is intrinsically unique about Michelle's talk is that she opens the floor for discussion during points of her talk and at the end. Letting people talk about some of these deeper concepts of yoga, and what thoughts or emotions arise during the discussion is cathartic and gives you a sense of connection with those around you. Having your voice heard and feeling like you're safe to voice it, is such an amazing experience and even more amazing that Michelle seamlessly creates that environment. During her talk a presentation of the ideas are given and you are free to feel and experience some of these deeper aspects of yoga for yourself. It is significantly contrasted by my other experiences studying with teachers. I have attended many ashtanga workshops and most are from the perspective of the teacher, to impart their knowledge on you. While in part why I attend workshops, to learn, the addition of open discussion allows you to freely explore yoga concepts with others who are equally interested. There is an amount of listening, receptivity, and nurturing from the workshops with Michelle. It fills a void in the yoga community I had only acutely felt until attending one workshop with Michelle, now there is no going back. Michelle is the traditional, learned, yogi, Divine Feminine you've been looking for, don't hesitate to study with her.

I have been stopping in Gulf Stream Gifts for over twenty years. They have the nicest variety of items. Nothing junky. Great prices. Very unique items. Love their jewelry. I always come home with such nice "beachy" items after my stop at this great store. The owners do a wonderful job keeping their store full of beautiful things.
