The Catawba Farms–Peacock Inn property is now listed for sale! While this represents a transition, this does not change the mission, vision, or heart of AnandaRasa.
AnandaRasa has always been about people—not a place. Our purpose remains to cultivate healing, connection, creativity, and spiritual awakening through yoga, meditation, art, and mindful community. Programs, yoga and embodiment classes, and special events will continue. We promise to share status updates and the strategic direction of AnandaRasa as these unfold! (Yes! We are working on AnandaRasa 2.0!)
♥️ We are grateful for your continued support and for being part of the AnandaRasa community. Together, we will continue creating inviting spaces where the human spirit can flourish. ♥️

Meet Kim Murphy. 🐾🧘‍♀️
If dogs, cats, kittens, and humans all feel safe around you... you're probably doing something right. Kim brings that same calming, joyful energy to every yoga class. No pretense. No pressure. Just authentic yoga, genuine laughter, and plenty of encouragement to show up exactly as you are. With a heart big enough for every being she meets, Kim reminds us that yoga isn't about touching your toes—it's about coming home to yourself.
Join Kim this Saturday August 1st at 10:30 AM for Community Yoga at AnandaRasa. Your body, your breath, and maybe your inner rescue puppy will thank you.
💛 Come as you are. Leave a little lighter.

💚This week at AnandaRasa Catawba-- July 27 💚 Come as you are... leave a little lighter. 💚
🕉️ Tuesday | 6:30 PM: Authentic Sivananda Yoga with Deb Crawford
No boot camp. No burpees. No calisthenics. 😄 Just the total yoga—classical Sivananda practice with asana, pranayama, deep relaxation, and meditation. A chance to slow down, breathe deeply, and unveil the peace that's already within you.
♥️ Saturday | 10:30 AM: Community Yoga with Kim Murphy (subbing for Twyla on August 1) ♥️ If you haven't practiced with Kim yet, you're in for a treat. She has a beautiful way of showing up with authenticity, joy, and heart—and she gently invites you to do the same. Come exactly as you are, roll out your mat, and let your true self shine. No pretense. No perfection. Just real people sharing a real practice... followed, of course, by chai and good conversation.
At AnandaRasa, yoga isn't about touching your toes—it's about touching your true nature.
We can't wait to practice with you. 🙏✨

♥️ RELEASE. RESET. REPEAT. ♥️
You are warmly invited to give your nervous system a vacation with RESTORATIVE YOGA with Suzanne:
📅 Sunday, July 19th
🕓 4:00–5:30 PM

Come as you are (yes, even if "you" is currently a stressed-out puddle of to-do lists). We've got blankets, bolsters, and zero judgment for how creaky your hips are. This isn't a "no pain no gain" kind of class. It's a "lie down, breathe, and let gravity do the heavy lifting" kind of class. Think 90 minutes of professionally sanctioned napping... with intention. 🥰
Bring:
🧦 Cozy socks 💧 Water 🫠 A body that's ready to melt into the floor
Leave with:
✅ A reset nervous system ✅ Possibly drool on your mat (no shame) ✅ The urge to cancel all your evening plans and just… stay soft

* Space is limited; because bolsters don't grow on trees.🙂 Register here:
