 What does Riverbirch Yoga offer?
Riverbirch Yoga on Lake Wylie offers explorations in Wholistic Living through Personal Yoga, Creativity, and Spirituality.
Weekly/Monthly Yoga Classes **FIRST CLASS FREE**
Weekly Yoga classes provide space and guidance for you to move your body, deepen your breathing, release tensions, still your mental busyness. Ushered by a varied menu of physical and mental techniques, imagery, and personalized adaptations, you dive into a profound experience of what you feel, how you move and breathe, and focused awareness of each moment.
The class never follows the same routine or flow and each session uniquely honors the needs of all participants. A session may feel like a nurturing deep massage or like a spirited work out. You may find increased energy as well as a pleasant sense of relaxation. If you come to gain physical exercise, to lower your blood pressure, to tone and strengthen your physique, or to develop improved flexibility, you may be delighted by some unexpected side-effects: enhanced mental clarity, stimulation of creative energies, freeing up of fears. Just one warning … Riverbirch Yoga can be addicting to the body, to the mind, to the heart!
Saturday Morning Classes are offered once a month year round. Weekday morning and evening classes are offered each week: a 10-week Fall Series runs September through November, a Winter Series runs January through March, and a Spring Series runs March through May. A summertime schedule provides monthly weeknight and monthly Saturday morning Yoga opportunities June through August.
Personalized Sessions for Individuals and Groups
Private and personalized Riverbirch Yoga sessions can be created for individuals and groups. Such sessions are charged at an hourly rate and for groups have a size minimum.
Individuals may seek private sessions for a variety of reasons: Have an injury or physical challenge you’d like some individual guidance with? Want to dive deeper into your personal practice? Seeking a personal trainer with a Yoga flavor? Want to develop practices to use on your own in between classes or expand your Yoga more fully throughout your lifestyle? Shy about trying a class? Desire a professional guide to help you walk through a transitional time of life or a creative or spiritual journey? Simply want some “you time” that’s focused completely on your needs and challenges?
Groups of all sorts can set up one-time or ongoing sessions tailored to their members’ needs. Examples of groups that have experienced personalized Riverbirch Yoga sessions have included businesses for work teams, retreats, or professional days; social, study, and professional groups; family, women’s, and friends’ gatherings.

Day Retreats
Riverbirch Yoga offers a few day retreats each year. Scheduled for a full Saturday, generally 8:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., retreats offer busy folks a way to retreat without leaving town and to those who seek to deepen their Yoga practice, a full day of personal time. The day slides gently from time on the mat into silent meals and walks, from quiet personal exploration activities into relaxing and inspiring small group creative adventures. Expect a nap sometime during the day as you develop your practice of Yoga Nidra. Expect nourishingly delicious fresh and whole vegetarian meals and snacks. Expect nurturing words and images. Expect to return home renewed and with some tools for sustained mindfulness and day-to-day self-caring.
Personalized Day Retreats for YOU alone!
In addition to scheduled group day retreats, you can also schedule time at Riverbirch for your own personal day retreat. Take time in nature and away from your life’s demands to clear your head, renew your spirit, enter silence, breathe, nourish your body, regain your natural rhythms. The Riverbirch Treehouse Studio and acre on the lake can be available to you to read, lounge, write, vision, artistically create, spend time on the Yoga mat or in meditation, be silent and still or move and shout! Specialized whole foods can be prepared for you as ordered from our nourishingly delicious menu. The Lending Library, Yoga props, stereo, and wooded setting of The Treehouse can be your cocoon and refuge. We will offer you a nurturing and magical setting to do the work you need to do to renew and refresh. A private Yoga, energy balancing, and/or massage therapy session can be scheduled for your day as well. In many ways, the sky’s the limit to the day of renewal you can create especially for you!
Sisters Sangha Circle
A magical place to be yourself. An inspiring space to explore varied thoughts and expressions ... A judgement-free time of sharing, study, and play. A Light-filled circle of creative and spiritual women ... A scrumptious potluck vegetarian meal. A delectably comfortable community.
The Riverbirch Yoga Sisters Sangha Circle is here for YOU … for all “Yoginis” – that is, women who are walking their personal Paths, opening their eyes to the many possibilities reaching out around and inside of them. Sangha means community, community of like-minds and shared-hearts. Of course, we don’t all think or feel exactly alike, but the point is that our foundation is an embrace of non-judgment and love. We are tied together by our Yoga, our experiences as women, our desires for a deeper awareness and connection with the fullness of Being.
Good Vibrations Healing Practices Circle
Study, practice, and share with new and seasoned practitioners of essential and natural healing practices including growing and using herbs, mutual energy sharing, loving touch, whole foods, and more.
Seasonal Celebrations
Two major festivals each year: Summer Body and SOULstice and Winter Celebration of Light are held sometime around each Solstice. Two lesser observances: Spring and Fall. Various activities include fire circle, storytelling, drumming, chanting, foods, candles, creative-expressive activities, readings, music.
Workshops and Study Series Opportunities
Occasionally a day workshop or a series of special study classes/workshops may be offered. Some past options have included: Partner Yoga & Massage, Creating a Daily Yoga Practice, Creative Gift-making (including clay arts and wreath-making,) Deep Awareness Meditation, as well as Living Fully - Daily Spiritual and Whole-health Practices.
