Asheville Yoga Center

The Asheville Yoga Center is a community center dedicated to offering all styles of hatha yoga to the public. We have classes perfect for total beginner’s through advanced. We have classes for those in rehabilitation, or those who have been away from their yoga practice for a while and need some inspiration. We have classes for pregnant women, children and really stressed out folks.

We are located at 239 S. Liberty St. on the corner of E. Chestnut and S. Liberty, just off Merrimon Ave. Our beautiful new studio space, completed in 2002, has a 1100 square foot Yoga room. The yoga room has natural light, soothing colors, a floating wood floor system, high ceilings, a sound absorbing wall and ceiling system and gentle lighting. We’re conveniently located on the north side of town minutes from downtown and the freeway, and we have plenty of free safe street parking. The Yoga Center’s office hours are 30 minutes before a scheduled class begins and generally 15 minutes after class has started. For more information call 254-0380.

Hatha Yoga is the balance of body, mind and breath. This system which combines poses with the breath, (asana and pranayama) is said to be thousands of years old, originating in India. All bodies, however handicapped, can do yoga and reap the benefits: better posture, more overall comfort in the body, more flexibility, more strength, better breathing, better concentration, and an improved sense of peacefulness.

It is the mission of Asheville Yoga Center to provide the highest education of Yoga. All of our teachers teach with compassion and acceptance. Love is the aim of Yoga, and we at the Asheville Yoga Center strive to walk in that Love at all times.
