This February, join studio owner and teacher Randy for a special immersive week of practice inspired by his time studying at the Ramamani Iyengar Memorial Yoga Institute (RIMYI) in Pune, India.

This structured 5-day intensive follows the progressive sequencing approach at RIMYI, allowing students to go deeper each day while cultivating strength, clarity, steadiness, and renewal.

Whether you are a long-time practitioner or ready to re-ignite your dedication to practice, this week offers a rare opportunity to experience the depth and methodology of Iyengar Yoga right here in Asheville. Classes will meet each evening from 6:00–8:00 pm. Students are invited to sign up for the 5-class series, or attend individual class sessions.
