Gentle movement, breathing, relaxation, and meditation to help you feel more at home in your body, steadier in your mind, and better supported in everyday life. Guided by Anna Kurmanova, a yoga teacher and yoga therapist with 18 years of experience.
Yoga does not have to be intense, complicated, or focused on perfect poses. In these classes, we slow down enough to notice what your body, breath, and mind actually need. Each practice combines gentle movement, breathing, relaxation, and meditation. The goal is not to perform. It is to leave the class feeling more balanced, clear, and refreshed.
Move with greater ease
Develop mobility, coordination, and supportive strength through comfortable, mindful movement.
Slow down and reset
Use breathing, relaxation, and meditation to step out of constant doing and return to a calmer state.
Restore your energy and focus
Therapeutic yoga calms the nervous system so rest finally feels possible.

Anna Kurmanova | Yoga Teacher | Yogatherapist
Hi, I'm Anna— and I adapt the practice to the person, not the person to the practice.
I have over 18 years of teaching experience and certified in Yoga Alliance E-RYT 500. I recently moved to Cary, and I am glad to begin sharing my work with the local community. My approach is rooted in classical hatha yoga and adapted to modern life. I combine mindful movement, breathing, relaxation, and meditation to support the whole person, not just the physical body. I do not teach yoga as a competition or a pursuit of perfect poses. You will never be asked to force your body or keep up with anyone else.
Why Yoga?
Yoga offers more than just poses. It’s a practical tool for building resilience against stress, improving sleep quality, enhancing physical ease, and boosting your energy and focus for a more balanced life.
Stress relief
Cultivate inner peace and manage daily pressures with calming techniques.
Emotional resilience
Develop the strength to navigate life's challenges with greater composure.
Better sleep
Achieve deeper, more restorative rest to wake up feeling refreshed.
Mobility and flexibility
Enhance your range of motion and ease stiffness in your joints.
Reduced tension
Release chronic tightness in your neck and back for lasting comfort.
More energy
Boost your vitality and combat fatigue with revitalizing practices.
Not at all. Flexibility is not a requirement for yoga. It may develop gradually as a result of regular practice. Every movement can be adapted, and you are always welcome to rest or skip anything that does not feel right for you.
In many cases, gentle yoga can be adapted to individual limitations. Please tell me before class about any injuries, diagnoses, recent surgeries, or movements you have been advised to avoid. Yoga does not replace medical care. When necessary, please follow the recommendations of your doctor or physical therapist.
During the class, I offer different options and help you find the version that feels appropriate for your body. You are always free to slow down, rest, or choose a simpler movement. Yoga begins with attention, not achievement.
I will introduce you to my approach through gentle movement, breathing, guided relaxation, and meditation. You can adapt or skip any movement. The purpose of the class is not to test your abilities, but to let you experience how this kind of practice feels in your body and mind. The introductory class is $10, with no obligation to continue.
Classes are held in a calm and welcoming practice space in West Cary, North Carolina. After registration, I will send you the exact address and everything you need to know before your first class. Introductory classes are available on Wednesdays and Saturdays.
None at all. I provide mats and props, and no prior yoga experience is needed. Just wear comfortable clothing you can move in. But if you have your favorite yoga mat - let it work! ))
