Chakras
Chakras are spiral energy centers located in the subtle body but are also located where nerve gangli reside. In Sanskrit, chakra means wheel which is exactly what they are. Think of chakras as gears. They possess individual characteristics but also work in conjuction with one another. This is why it is so important to be aware of these energy centers. If one is out of balance it disrupts the rest. Becoming aware of how they are functioning enables us to make the necessary changes to bring harmony and peace to our lives.
The Studio
Bending Branch Yoga is located in Atlanta's Upper West Side. The growing community of Riverside has embraced all things yoga with open arms. The studio is very focused on supporting the local community and excited to watch it develop over the next few years.
As soon as you walk into the studio you can't help but take a big sigh of relief.
INHALE through your nose, EXHALE let it GO
The energy is simply freeing. The charasmatic decor of the studio creates a warm, welcoming environment, as if you've stepped into another world. This safe, sacred space invites you to leave all the cares and worries of everyday life at the door, remembering to only pick up what is necessery when you leave.
The Logo
The lovely logo of Bending Branch Yoga was created by an incredibly talented tattoo artist, Mary Jackson. How this amazing artist came up with this unique design is beyond understanding. The strong roots of this women arising for the earth and fearlessly reaching her branches up to the heavens is breathtaking. With the colorful chakras (energy centers) awake and in balance she can stand proud in the humbling, yet liberating Vrksasana (tree pose). This logo couldn't be more perfect in expressing everything the studio represents.
