The Yoga Oasis

At Yin Yoga with Elaine Parker, we believe that yoga is a journey of self-discovery and growth, and that it's essential to approach it with care and compassion. Our mission is to provide a safe and nurturing environment for our students to cultivate greater flexibility, strength, and mobility, while also fostering a deeper connection with their own bodies and minds.

Our Story

As a respected yoga instructor in the Charlotte area since 2001, I have had the privilege of teaching a wide range of yoga styles, from Hot Yoga to Traditional Hatha Yoga. However, it was my experience with Yin Yoga that truly changed my practice and my understanding of the human body. After experiencing the transformative power of Yin Yoga, I was inspired to share this practice with others and founded the Yin Yoga with Elaine Parker.

Our Philosophy

At Yin Yoga with Elaine Parker, we believe that yoga is not just a physical practice, but a holistic approach to well-being. We believe that by cultivating greater flexibility, strength, and mobility, we can also cultivate greater mental clarity, emotional balance, and spiritual connection. We strive to create a safe and nurturing environment that fosters a deeper connection with our own bodies and minds.
