Smiling Circle Yoga & Massage Therapy Studio

This review has been a long time coming -- because Yeong is outstanding! At the time I met Yeong Chang, I was suffering with Grave's Disease and Multiple Sclerosis. I've had over 20+ massages with YC and she's helped to rehabilitate my body with her expansive knowledge and variety of massage techniques. Meeting Yeong, I suffered with MS numbness in different areas of my body and she's helped to restore feeling and stimulate various nerve endings in my body. I think she also helped to lessen my Grave's disease symptoms during the peak of its onset. Overall, 11/10 for Yeong. She's a great conversationalist with a spectacular attitude. Yeong is someone I will always appreciate and miss now that I no longer live in the RDU area. To be frank, I haven't found a better massage therapist since my move to the DC/DMV area; she's the golden standard.I strongly recommend you visit her yourself. Results are impressive. More...

The best Christmas present ever brought me to Smiling Circle Yoga & Massage Therapy Studio. Here each yoga class feels like a private session. Yeong checks in with each participant and tailors the class accordingly based on our needs. Love it! More...

I feel incredibly fortunate to have stumbled upon this amazing studio/teacher/massage therapist. I travel a lot and as a yoga enthusiast, I am always on the hunt for a great yoga class. As a yoga teacher myself, I have high standards in terms of teaching style and knowledge. In town for just the weekend, I attended the 9am Saturday morning class and was blown away by the welcoming atmosphere. This is yoga the way it is supposed to be taught. Yeong's class was a diverse group of students in a broad range of ages, fitness, and agility. Yet, incredibly, she was able to give everyone present a lot of personal attention. Her adjustments of me were spot on and impressed me so much that I signed up for a massage therapy class with her as soon as class ended. This morning I showed up ten minutes early for my massage therapy session. Yeong was already in the studio ready to go. We chatted about my old shoulder injury - an impingement - and then she took me back to her massage room. All the while she worked on my shoulder she explained what she was doing and why. A little over an hour later once the massage part was over, she took the time to suggest a number of stretching techniques and to give me pointers for healing my shoulder and improving my posture.I will definitely be back for more yoga and massage therapy with Yeong. Even though I live 3.5 hours away in Virginia, I will make special trips back just to see Yeong. She is that awesomely talented. People of Cary and Raleigh: you have a treasure in this studio! I travel enough to know how rare this combination of expertise and friendliness is. This is a yoga studio and massage therapist that will enhance your life. More...

I really can't express enough how great this place is. I'm fairly new to yoga, and I had been exploring different studios, but the places I went to tended to have sometimes 20 students per instructor, and I never could get any individual feedback on how I was doing. Then I found Smiling Circle, and I feel so fortunate! Yeong is amazing at tailoring her classes to her students' needs. She checks in with everyone individually at the start of the class and shapes the class according to everyone's goals, and she takes time throughout the class to make sure you are getting the most out of every pose. She is incredibly mindful of physical limitations, making extensive use of props and modifications to help support those who need it, and she's also just delightful to talk to. I finally feel like I am into the swing of it, and I have her to thank for it. I highly, highly recommend this studio! More...
