Vinyasa Yoga
In this all-levels class, you will move slowly and meditatively between poses following the breath. Focus will be on breath and alignment, breaking down poses and offering props to allow each student to find the right version of a pose for their body. Slow Vinyasa is designed to create softness in your body, relieve unwanted tension, and stress, inviting a deeper understanding of mind-body-spirit connection while improving flexibility, muscle tone and circulation.

Shante' (Ashanti)
My name is Shante’, also known as Ashanti, the wounded healer.
My spiritual gifts are connected to my ancestors who had to hide their gifts and talents and practice in the dark of night. Many Americans and especially African-Americans have been conditioned to believe that their spiritual gifts are evil and demonic, when in fact, it’s just the opposite. I have been called to help bring our gifts to the light and use my gifts to help others unblock and use their gifts.
I do this through a number of ways; energy healing, ancestral healing, sound bath, moon rituals and oracle readings.
I call myself the “wounded healer” because I have deep scars, inside and outside. I caught myself on fire when I was 7 or 8 years old, and bore 4th and 5th degree burns, and that’s just on the outside, my scars internally are much worse, which I won’t go into detail here, but, I can definitely share with you how I have healed and continue to heal.
And then there is generational trauma, this is the toughest kind of trauma to heal, because it is literally in our DNA, however, it too can be healed. It MUST be…. We cannot go on ignoring what is right in front of our faces.
Professionally, I am a Licensed Addictions Specialist, I have a bachelors in Human Services, Certified Sound Therapist, NC Guardian Ad Litem, Nurturing Parenting Facilitator, and a bunch of other certificates that say I am qualified to do certain things. However, my calling, training and guidance from God, my Ancestors, Angels, Spirit Guides and Ascended Masters trumps any education I could ever get in any traditional institution.
Energy healing: using crystals and chakra balancing techniques.
Sound healing: using frequencies tuned to specific energy centers in the body.
Ancestral healing: a modality of healing that uses prayers, drumming, chanting and dancing rituals.
Moon Rituals: New moon and Full moon manifesting and releasing rituals.
Oracle readings: Spirit guided readings to help guide you on your next steps.
If you have found us, it is NOT by accident or coincidence. You have been Divinely guided here. Take a deep breath… its okay, now make the call. I cannot wait to meet you and your spirit team. Let’s get to work healing. Hurt people, hurt people, and healed people, heal people.
