Yoga, Wellness and the Perfect Marinade….
Welcome to The Bindu blog…I’m Kelley Gardner. I’ve been teaching yoga since 1989 and have been a certified Anusara Yoga teacher since 2005. Becoming an Anusara Yoga teacher gave me both a solid foundation and creative inspiration. It’s a dream come true to share my vision of the Bindu which will be an Anusara Yoga and Wellness Center, full of expert healers and instructors. This Center has a purpose of bringing people together to practice, study, laugh, heal and meditate – to expand our minds and hearts more than we ever thought possible. To know ourselves and one another better. To find balance that supports us in our lives. To feel good.
The Bindu will burst onto the scene with a truly Grand Opening in Lake Norman, NC, September 25-27th and we hope you’ll join us to celebrate this vision-turned-reality. I’ll be posting news, events and updates here until our Grand Opening, so keep checking back. We’ll also be doing a weekly giveaway that you won’t want to miss! Curious about how all of this came to be?
Looking back, my friend Carol, who is a both a wonderful chef and mentor, has watched me marinating for several years now - Marinating in a great life filled with rewarding work that I love, a wonderful husband and kids that keep me vibrant, and interesting friends who inspire me. Imagine my surprise when within days of hearing myself say, “I would like to open a new Yoga center,” The Bindu began to show me her potential. She had even grander visions for herself of what was possible. Pulling in different flavors and presentation, she began to take form.
While I was looking for 3500sf, my realtor showed me the perfect 5000sf space.
So, The Bindu wants to be larger to accommodate more people and more growth….
Some friends with great connections in the world of wellness introduced me to area practitioners in fields like naturopathic medicine, specialized massage therapy, thai yoga massage, herbology, and energy work – our perfect mix of professionals eager to create together was born.
So, The Bindu wants to be a multi-focused Yoga and Wellness Center to nurture the total Self…
And I have exciting news – she’s almost ready!
Grand Opening – September 25-27
The Bindu comes to life for a weekend full of free Anusara Yoga classes, Tai Chi, Prenatal Yoga, Vinyasa (flow) yoga, kids yoga, tweens yoga and gentle stretching classes. There will be free partner massage classes, thai yoga massage, and seminars on topics such as: healing with herbs and self-care through understanding trigger points in the body. All the practitioners at The Bindu will offer free workshops and educational seminars, so mark your calendars for a very special weekend of Bindu bliss!
And the name, The Bindu…well, it will be my pleasure to unroll that beauty over the course of several blogs. But to get you marinading in the possibilities, imagine the creative potency of anything where all the energies are completely focused That’s the bindu point! If you are familiar with the OM symbol, the bindu is the “dot” at the top. Intrigued? We’ll reveal more next time.
Save the Grand Opening Date (September 25-27) and stay in touch as we keep uncovering the many wonderful flavors of this creation! Until then, we would love to hear from you with your thoughts and encouragement.
Namaste,
Kelley Gardner
