Take some time to enjoy the Back Road shops and restaurants. Whether you are on foot, bicycle, golf cart or car, you'll find plenty to explore! Start out by turning onto Back Road off of Highway 12. You can't miss the turn--the Pirate's Chest adorned with its boat full of conch shells is your landmark! Take a few minutes to pop in and find a treasure. On your right you'll find the Back Porch Lunch

box, a perfect spot for grabbing a wrap or cold drink. Don't go too far, you're just beginning! Directly on your left you'll find the The Ocracoke Yoga Studio. Be sure to check their outdoor board for classes that are available! Continue on, just a few steps more and you'll find one of the island's most loved shops, Bella Fiore—you're sure to find a treat here, be it artwork, pottery or jewelry. Just beyond you'll spot The Back Porch Restaurant -- a local landmark. Their menu is delectable, whether you are looking for small plates to share or something larger to eat all yourself! Directly in front of The Back Porch you'll find Blackbeard’s Lodge. A great central location and its pet friendly! Nestled at the corner you'll find the Sunflower Center, another great shop not to miss! Just beyond you'll find the Flying Melon Restaurant. “The Melon" is housed in a beautifully built location and is a destination well known to locals and visitors alike. Needing a bit of caffeine to continue on your journey? Pop over to Ocracoke Coffee Co and Island Smoothie. They also house the island’s tiniest beer and wine bar—the MiniBar. They've been serving folks for over 25 years, once inside you'll appreciate why! Down the street, across from the Ocracoke Health Clinic, you'll find Annabelle's Florist and Antiques. A great spot to find a hidden treasure. Just beside Annabelle's is Mary Bassell's art studio. Jot down her phone number to sign up for her art classes--she offers them all summer long. As you head around the corner, you’ll see the colorful Ocracoke Cigar Shop—it’s directly behind the salmon colored house up on the second floor. Pop in and get that special someone a stogie! Further on down the road you'll find Zillie's Island Pantry--the island's gourmet provisions shop—offering a large selection of beer and wine and snacks. You can enjoy wine or beer on the front porch while watching the rest of the island bustle by. After your refreshment, continue down Back Road and take a left. Here you'll find the last of our beloved shops--Island Artworks and Over the Moon. Be sure to leave enough time to visit these 2 unique shops; each shop houses many little nooks and crannies to explore.

It’s Sunday self-care day! See you there!

Self Care Sunday has Two Offerings this weekend!

💪🏼8:30am Sculpt Circuit With Amanda !
Sculpt Circuit is a dynamic fitness class designed to provide a comprehensive workout that delivers maximum results! This class is perfect for individuals of all fitness levels, from beginners to seasoned athletes, who want to enhance their strength, flexibility, and overall body composition.
In Sculpt Circuit, you’ll engage in a series of dynamic circuits that combine strength training, bodyweight exercises, and resistance work. Each session is thoughtfully structured to ensure a balanced approach to fitness, focusing on sculpting and toning your muscles while promoting overall wellness.

🧘‍♀️10:30am All Levels Slow Flow With Virginia!
This practice is a great balance of Restorative Yoga and Slow Flow. Slow down and take time in each position to reference feeling and alignment. Flows are incorporated to keep the mind and body connected. This is a great class for yogis that like the positions of vinyasa flow but enjoy taking their time on the mat. We often add slow mobility exercises and foam rolling to the mix! Restorative Yoga takes a “surrendering” approach by having the body relax to restore the nervous system and ease tension and mind chatter.
We take our time in this practice being mindful, taking care of what our body needs in each moment and adapt along the way!

✨7-8am PiYo With Angie Todd! Come give a warm welcome to Angie for her first PiYo class at Island Yoga !
dynamic fusion of Pilates and Yoga comes to life! This class is designed to enhance your strength, flexibility, and endurance through a series of fluid movements that flow seamlessly together.
In this class, you’ll experience a high-energy, low-impact workout that emphasizes proper alignment and breath control. Each class will guide you through a variety of sequences that incorporate strength-building exercises, core stabilization, and yoga-inspired stretches, all set to motivating music.

✨5:30-6:45pm Restorative Yoga + Sound Bath Shavasana W/ Virginia!

Restorative yoga is a relaxing and supported practice that is all about slowing down to restore your body’s natural capacity for health.The goals of restorative yoga are physiological rather than physical. Our aim in Restorative Yoga is to affect the nervous system and to relax the body. Although, by affecting the physiological, physical changes will naturally follow suit, we are not targeting the tissues of the body; we are targeting the nerves. We aim to support the body in different positions to relax, encouraging parasympathetic tone, rather than to stretch or strengthen muscles. It is a receptive practice geared toward reprogramming the nervous system rather than an active (catabolic) practice.
This practice ends with a blissful sound bath using instuments such as crystal singing bowls, Seven Layer Tibetan Bowls, Koshi Chimes , and Ocean Drum.

❤️Yoga mats are provided!
