About Yoga Explorer
Yoga, good company, and something to look forward to.
Yoga Explorer brings people together for outdoor classes, day retreats, special events, and longer getaways. Based in Raleigh, North Carolina, it grew from my love of yoga, being outside, and trying something new.
It could be an hour of yoga in the park, an afternoon combining movement with a creative workshop, or several days together in the mountains. Each offers time to move, slow down, and enjoy the people and places around you.
Why “Explorer”?
Because there’s always something to discover.
That might be a different way to move, a breathing practice that helps when your mind won’t settle, or a perspective you hadn’t considered. Sometimes it’s a new place. Sometimes it’s a good conversation with someone you’ve just met.
You don’t need to be an experienced yogi. Curiosity is a good place to start.
What to Expect
Classes combine movement and stillness, with options to suit different bodies and levels of experience. Some are active and flowing. Others are slower, with more time for rest, breathwork, or meditation.
At retreats and special events, there’s room for guided journaling, creative activities, conversation, and enjoying the setting.
You’re encouraged to choose what feels right in your body, ask questions, and take a break when you need one.
A Few Things We’ve Explored Together
From the Five Elements series and Living in Alignment to Full Moon Flows, Earth Day, and spring and fall equinox celebrations, we’ve found plenty of reasons to gather.
There’s also been Cinco de Mayo yoga, Sunrise Yoga, and Morning Yoga with the Birds. Sometimes we explore a big question. Sometimes we simply get up early and listen.
Our local day retreats have brought together yoga, meditation, journaling, creative activities, and time outside.
Next up: our first Blue Ridge Mountain Yoga Retreat, The Art of Being Happy, in May 2027.
Hi, I’m Tina
I grew up in the Swedish countryside and came to the US in my late twenties. Loved it. Stayed.
Give me a good fire, a full moon, a starry night, or butterflies, and I’m happy.
Born with a busy mind in a restless body, I practice finding inner calm every day.
I’m curious about people and love listening to their stories. I want to experience as much of life as I can, so when an opportunity comes along, I tend to say yes.
My background is in physical therapy, and I first came to yoga for injury prevention while training for marathons. Over 15 years later, I’m still practicing, learning, and finding more reasons to keep showing up.
Yoga has taken me to Bali for my advanced teacher training and to Guatemala to assist with a teacher training. I’m a 500-hour certified yoga teacher and mindfulness meditation coach, with additional training in Yin yoga.
And I love going to yoga retreats just as much as I love hosting them.
Come Along
Join a class, try a day retreat, or see what else is coming up. I’d love to meet you.
