Wishing you health, love & light
LoveYoga333
Founder & Owner
Fatima Gales
Retired from the US Army after 24 years of service. In 2005, she took her first yoga class due to a neck and back injury she sustained during a parachutist jump. At that time she was a skeptic and did not believe this type of practice would help her. A few years down the line, Fatima rediscovered that yoga not only helped her physically but taught her how to balance herself mentally and emotionally. In 2022 she received her RYT 200 from Wilmington Yoga Studio located in Wilmington, NC. In 2023, she decided there was a need for a safe space where people who wanted to learn and practice yoga could do it in a calm environment… and LoveYoga333 was born.
About Us
The Meaning of LoveYoga333
Just in case you’re wondering why the symbol and name LoveYoga333 — the colors of the rainbow are for inclusivity and are the colors of the seven main Chakras situated between the base of your spine to the top of your crown. If you look closely, you’ll see the open hearts for love also serve as the 3 threes. 333 is the number telling you there is a true sign of passion, devotion and loyalty on both ends. We owe this to ourselves.
More about LoveYoga333
LoveYoga333 opened its doors in 2023, and although a few gyms offered yoga classes, there was still no dedicated space in the city or within the county that was designed for the practice of yoga. LoveYoga333 is an inclusive studio that serves as a safe space for yoga lovers to practice in a committed and calm space. This studio is for everyone, no matter if it’s your first time, what you look like, or what you’re shaped like — this studio is a place to balance your mind, body and soul.
The Mission
The owner, Fatima Gales, discovered the importance of yoga while recovering from a back injury in 2020 which not only affected her physically but emotionally and mentally as well. If asked, she’ll tell the story of how she used to laugh at people who talked about doing yoga versus going to the gym, until she started practicing herself and will admit that practicing yoga saved her life. LoveYoga333 is the primary yoga studio in the city of Lumberton and the Robeson County area and will continue to be a staple of wellness for the community.
