Slow Down Yoga

  • St. Andrew's UMC 1901 Archdale Drive Charlotte, North Carolina, 28210 United States (map)

A Monthly Invitation to Slow Down, Relax, and Nourish Your Whole Being.

Breathe deeply. Move gently. Leave feeling renewed.

Life can feel full, fast, and demanding. Our Slow Down Yoga class offers a gentle invitation to slow down, release tension, and reconnect with yourself through mindful movement and intentional rest.

Designed for every body and every experience level, this monthly class combines slow, accessible yoga with breathwork and relaxation practices to help calm your nervous system, improve flexibility, and create space for peace. Whether you're brand new to yoga or have practiced for years, you'll be welcomed into a supportive, judgment-free environment where the focus is not performance. It's presence.

Following class, you're invited to stay for an optional time of tea, light refreshments, and conversation. It's a chance to linger, connect with others, or simply enjoy a few extra moments of calm before returning to the busyness of life.

  • Gentle, slow-flow yoga suitable for all levels
