Meet the Owner: Kara O'Briant of Zin Yoga & Wine Lounge
Meet Kara O’Briant, founder of Zin Yoga & Wine Lounge. Originally from Bahama, just north of Durham, Kara created Zin Yoga & Wine Lounge to be a welcoming community space where people can unwind and connect.
Kara has poured her heart into bringing together her two favorite things: yoga and wine. Her vision was to create a yoga space that’s open to everyone, no matter their abilities, strengths, or challenges. She’s proud to have fulfilled her dream of building a place where new guests instantly feel like they’re hanging out at their best friend’s house.
Our tribe is everything and we hope you’ll join us as we skip, stumble, laugh, love, breathe and sip our way along. We have everything from group classes to one-on-one instruction, public wine tastings with local food trucks, live music events and concerts, private wine parties, luxury retreats to yoga teacher trainings, and SO much more.
Namaste for awhile y’all!
Nestled in Downtown Garner, Zin Yoga & Wine is surrounded by nature. Feeling as though you’re far away from city life makes unwinding at this peaceful haven effortless. Guests can find their zen with a yoga session or relax with a refreshing drink from the wine lounge. The studio and lounge offer yoga classes for all levels, along with a wide selection of wines sourced locally and from around the globe. It is the perfect place to pour love into a class or into your glass.
Not a wine fan? No worries. The lounge also serves beer, cider, and a variety of non-alcoholic options, so there is something for everyone to enjoy.
Putting the Zin into Yoga
There is a reason behind the name Zin Yoga & Wine Lounge. No, “zin” is not a typo. It is a clever blend that captures what makes the studio so unique. Instead of the traditional spelling of “zen,” Kara drew inspiration from zinfandel wine and creatively spelled it “zin.” Zin Yoga & Wine Lounge perfectly sums up what you can expect when you visit: a beautiful fusion of yoga and wine, all in one welcoming space.
