When you step into Asheville Community Yoga, have you ever noticed how the lobby feels? ✨

The quiet anticipation before practice; the calm, grounded peace afterward. These shared spaces hold so much of our energy.

Recently, an incredible group of volunteers came together to give some love to the halls that support our journeys. From top to bottom, every nook and cranny was scrubbed, dusted, and refreshed: filled with care, attention, and plenty of laughter along the way.

Just another beautiful reminder of the power of commUNITY in action. 💛
Thank you to everyone who showed up and shared their time and energy!

Our 250-hour program balances personal exploration with practical teaching skills, helping you:

* Deepen your connection to yoga through asana, pranayama, meditation, philosophy, Bhakti (devotion), and service
* Gain confidence through the dual lenses of yoga theory and practice, learning to safely and effectively teach Yoga to a room of varying bodies, abilities, and levels
* Learn to teach a wide range of styles, from gentle to vinyasa
* Understand anatomy, alignment, and the energetic principles behind the postures
* Learn not only the alignment and technique of yoga postures but also the heart and soul of the practice
* Integrate ancient wisdom with modern science for a well-rounded approach

Through this training, you’ll not only refine your own practice but also develop the expertise to inspire and lead others. Our curriculum is rooted in both self-discovery and service—two essential pillars of yoga.

As we enter into a new year, we reminisce on the many opportunities we had to bring our motto - freedom through service - to life. Pictured here are a few of our service projects from the last quarter of the year with wonderful local organizations we've had the honor to work with.

From food drives, to post-disaster clean up and rebuilding efforts, to offering companionship for people experiencing hardships, to wrapping diaper bundles for local families, our volunteers have shown up to support a variety of needs within our community and for that we are deeply grateful! 

Thank you to all organizations for the opportunities and the volunteers who take yoga off the mat and into the world by stepping into service. 

Happy New Year of Service!✨.

So much gratitude for this incredible volunteer crew 🛠️✨

They came together to take on the big task of removing the old floor and installing the new one in Studio A. While the update is exciting, it’s also bittersweet. This is our original studio, and those floors have been part of our story for over 15 years!

We’re deeply thankful for the time and hard work that made this transformation possible. Your dedication brought a fresh look and feel to the space while honoring the history that lives within it. Thank you for being such an important part of our journey 💕

Brahmacharya, or moderation, is the Yama that invites us to move through life with intention. Choose presence over distraction and purpose over excess.

🌿 Begin by observing where your energy goes. Is it chasing validation? Maybe seeking pleasure without fulfillment? Brahmacharya asks: Is this nourishing you or depleting you?

🌿 This Yama isn’t about repression, but intention. It reminds us that our energy and attention are precious. We are the result of our efforts. Practicing Brahmacharya means choosing what truly feeds us.

🌿 In a world that encourages doing more, consuming more, and proving more, Brahmacharya is a choice to consider and simplify.

Brahmacharya is not just abstinence. It’s about balance. It's the decision to say “no” to what drains and “yes” to what sustains.

Where will you direct your energy today? 🌼

✨ A Gentle Beginning ✨

January invites us to begin again,
not through pressure or perfection,
but through presence.

This is a season of returning:
to our breath, our bodies,
and the steady rhythms that hold us through winter.

Rather than rushing forward, we’re invited to slow down,
to plant seeds with care,
to move with intention,
and to trust the quiet strength growing beneath the surface.

Our practice becomes a grounding place this time of year,
offering warmth, clarity, and space to listen inward.
A refuge to soften, to reset, and to reconnect.

We welcome you to gather with us this January;
to move, to rest, and to be held in community
as we begin the year rooted, present,
and open to what’s unfolding. ❄️

Has yoga changed your life?

Do you feel called to explore the deeper layers of this ancient practice?

Are you craving a grounded, heart-centered space to learn, grow, and connect?

This is your invitation to go deeper. 💛

Asheville Community Yoga’s Immersion Program, led by Dana Maria & , is for those who feel the pull to understand yoga beyond the postures, whether you’re considering teacher training or simply longing to live the practice more fully.

Over 3 months, we explore the full spectrum of yoga through movement, breath, stillness, conversation, and connection.

This is not just about learning yoga, it’s about embodying it. Bringing the teachings into your body, your relationships, and your daily life.

Rooted in experiential learning and thoughtful inquiry, this immersion invites you to align with truth, love, and presence, on and off the mat.

Whether you’re new to yoga philosophy or already walking a spiritual path, you’ll be met exactly where you are and welcomed into a community of kindred spirits.

✨ Come as you are. Leave more deeply connected. ✨

Ring in the New Year by “wringing” out the body and mind in this special class that is designed to do just that.

This 2 hour all levels workshop is an opportunity to reset after the holidays. You will learn a variety of yoga postures that aim to stimulate digestive, lymphatic, and circulatory systems, helping to release toxins and restore balance in the body.

Through meditation, mindfulness, relaxation, and breath work, we observe and release thought patterns that no longer serve us while setting healthy, aligned new intentions for the upcoming year.

Visit our website to sign up for this workshop and reserve your spot today!
