We believe yoga is a lifelong practice of learning, and our workshops, immersions, retreats, and special events create opportunities to continue that journey with inspiring teachers and a supportive community.
Throughout the year, we offer experiences exploring yoga, meditation, spirituality, Ayurveda, wellness, and the healing arts. Whether you’re attending your first workshop, returning to study with a favorite teacher, or exploring a new area of practice, you’ll find opportunities to learn, connect, and be inspired.
In addition to our daily classes, we also host an extensive variety of events designed to help you deepen your practice and nourish your soul. AYC events include workshops, courses, immersions, and retreats with topics ranging from yoga, spirituality, meditation, wellness, and the healing arts. The depth, variety, quality, and abundance of our offerings has been compared to yoga retreat destinations like Kripalu, Omega, and Yogaville, yet all available locally here at our campus in beautiful Asheville.
More inspirational event opportunities are also offered by our sister venues: health and wellness workshops and practitioner trainings at The Ayurvedic Institute, who we share our campus home with; as well as inspirational music concerts and wisdom talks at The AyurPrana Listening Room in West Asheville.
A workshop offers something beautifully different from a weekly class: time.
Time to slow down, immerse yourself in a topic, ask questions, refine your practice, and learn alongside experienced teachers and fellow students.
Whether you’re exploring yoga philosophy, meditation, anatomy, Ayurveda, the healing arts, or a specific style of practice, workshops create space for deeper understanding, meaningful conversation, and personal exploration.

Nestled in the Blue Ridge Mountains, Asheville has long been a destination for people seeking wellness, creativity, and connection.
Many students choose to pair a workshop or immersion with time spent exploring the city’s vibrant restaurants, live music, mountain trails, and thriving arts community. Together, these experiences create a retreat that nourishes both practice and everyday life.
Whether you’re visiting for a weekend or planning a longer stay, we look forward to welcoming you to our campus and our community.
