Yoga is an ancient spiritual practice that dates back to 1000 B.C. and was originally a sacred part of the Indian Vedic Hindu tradition. The word yoga means "union" in Sanskrit, the language of ancient India. According to Vedic teachings, we can think of yoga as the union occurring between mind, body and spirit. Today what is commonly referred to as yoga is actually the physical movement part (asana) of the ancient practice that includes eight "limbs" or types of yoga, the majority of which are more concerned with mental and spiritual well being than physical activity. However, the physical part of yoga has become very popular in the West as its proven medical and cosmetic benefits have been touted in the health and beauty media.

The Asheville area has several excellent yoga studios headed by teachers with national reputations. Our region offers one of the best selections of yoga classes in the country. Whether you prefer the slower, meditative styles of yoga or the more physically demanding types of power yoga, the Asheville area has it all.
