About RNY
Raven's Nest Yoga is a virtual and mobile yoga studio dedicated to creating an open and inclusive space for ALL BODIES to experience yoga. Led by Raven Gadsden, originally of Charleston, South Carolina, she aims to have RNY be an inclusive and accessible space for all yogis of all backgrounds. In some communities, yoga studios are often unavailable, the options for attending a yoga studio may be limited or lack affordability, or the practice itself may be inaccessible for the client. RNY is the solution to these problems. Yoga provides many benefits for the body and mind and should be available to EVERYONE. Raven and RNY also strive to create a space where those who may have been hesitant to practice can feel comfortable, supported, and loved. This is also a space for those who have a regular practice. Raven's Nest Yoga is inclusive of all levels of practice and ability. Because of this, RNY also aims to support worthy causes through donating money or time.
Yoga flows are mindfully curated to promote healing and balance in the body and are also designed to be accessible for ALL BODIES. Inquire about private sessions, Raven's online classes through the local studios she works with, or specialty classes/retreats. Coming Soon: Virtual Classes and Sessions.
"It's been awhile since I've joined a class at Synergy. Raven's class was beautiful!! The peace and relaxation she was able to bring on a zoom call was so needed. I'm on my 3rd week of getting back into my practice. Trust me, you will see me again. Simply wonderful!"
About
Raven Gadsden
Yoga Instructor and Owner
I am Raven, an educator, writer, yoga instructor, and owner of Raven's Nest Yoga. I have been teaching yoga for about three years now, and I love to teach yoga! I got into practicing and teaching yoga because of my diagnosis of Rheumatoid Arthritis almost ten years ago. Yoga has been so healing for me that I wanted to be able to help others in the same way. I created Raven's Nest Yoga to create more opportunities for myself to teach yoga and to connect with others who want a more personal, healing yoga experience. I also wanted to create a yoga experience and space that wasn't tied to a studio (although I believe yoga studios are amazing!). Over the time I've been teaching, I've encountered clients who wanted an in-home experience with their yoga practice or were apprehensive to go into the studio because they felt they "didn't know what they were doing." Raven's Nest Yoga is for beginners and advanced yogis alike. Check out any offerings here, or join me for my virtual studio offerings through Be Yoga (Charlotte, NC)--beginning August 5!--and Five Elements of Healing (Concord, NC). Please see my social media for the times and links for these classes.
