Weekly classes include Introduction to Ashtanga (level 1), Ashtanga Prep (level 2), Primary Series (level 3), as well as Hatha Yoga and Mysore for all levels of experience. Check the studio's website for weekly class offerings and note the studio will be closed when classes are not in session. Adhering to Ashtanga Yoga tradition, Ashtanga Yoga Center is closed on Saturdays and on Moon Days, days of full and new moons. Occasional weekend events, workshops and ceremonies are offered in addition to the weekly scheduled classes. Oceanfront retreats and workshops by visiting yogis are frequently offered.

Owned by yoga instructor Michelle Dorer, this yoga studio offers practice of Ashtanga Yoga in the tradition of Sri K. Pattabhi Jois, the Krishnamacharya lineage. The practice follows a traditional Ashtanga sequence, combining breathing and postures to enhance the health and wellness of those who practice.

The studio uses heat to enhance flexibility in yoga poses. In the winter, heaters will be on full blast. During the summer, do not expect air conditioning. Bring a towel and be prepared to sweat into your downward dog.

Some studio etiquette: Arrive a few minutes before the scheduled class start and take off your shoes before entering the studio. Be sure your cell phone is turned off during class. You can borrow one of the studio’s mats or bring your own. Yoga accessories, such as blankets, blocks and straps are available for you to borrow as well.

Sailing the Outer Banks

Sailing the Outer Banks

Vacationers will notice a handful of sailboats at every local Outer Banks port, either saddled up to the docks or breezing across the harbor, en route to the nearest sound for a cruise, or to the continent-spanning Intracoastal Waterway to continue a long coastal voyage. Some vacationers are even in it for the long haul, docking for a summer or a winter season at a number of local marinas that offer all the comforts of home. Clearly, sailing lovers of all varieties have plenty of options, but even newcomers to the sport can experiment with life on the water with a local sailing lesson, rental, or waterfront cruise.

Awful Arthur's Oyster Bar

Awful Arthur's Oyster Bar

Welcome to the home of the happy oyster where for over 40 years the oyster has been our world. The Outer Banks only authentic oyster bar is the place to enjoy sensational fare from the sea washed down with your favorite brew or cocktail. We serve by the peck, pound, and dozen, raw or steamed to perfection. Kicked back casual, down to earth friendly staff, and reasonable prices make Awful Arthur’s Oyster Bar the all-time favorite of locals and travelers alike.

The idea wasn’t to set out and establish a new concept restaurant on the Outer Banks, but that’s exactly what Awful Arthur’s owner Jo Whitehead and her late husband, Jay, accomplished more than 35 years ago when they opened the area’s first authentic oyster bar.

 

Awful Arthur’s opened in May 1984 on the Outer Banks. “We embraced the concept of an authentic copper top bar with the idea of it being a major drawing card and it still is,” explains Whitehead. “I get oysters wherever they are local. We follow the warm waters.” 

 

Just across from the ocean, in Kill Devil Hills, oyster season is year-round at Awful Arthur’s. Diners can take a seat at the copper-topped bar to observe the staff shucking oysters, served raw or steamed, along with shrimp, crab legs and clams all steamed to perfection. 

 

It’s not just the raw bar that’s earned Awful Arthur’s both local and national recognition, including being named one of America’s greatest oyster bars by Coastal Living magazine. The restaurant is a seafood-lover’s paradise, offering the freshest catches available.
