West Asheville Yoga

I cannot recommend their prenatal yoga series enough!! I loved this series so much, I took it twice and both times I got so much out of it! I moved to Asheville in the middle of the pandemic and expected to be very isolated during my pregnancy. Through the virtual prenatal yoga series I found the support and community I needed to have an amazing and fulfilling pregnancy. I felt SO good all the way till the end, I was actually sad when I was nearing the end of my pregnancy. Roxy taught me so much about what was happening to my body and she empowers you to be able to alleviate your own aches and pains. She tailors to your specific needs and she also prepares you for how to cope with labor. The community aspect was also amazing. Connecting with other pregnant people each week was such a vital part of my mental health during such a crazy year.

I have been going to west Asheville yoga off and on for years and recently started going more consistently during my pregnancy and it has been invaluable. The only community created by Roxy during her prenatal series’ so so great especially during Covid. She goes above and beyond to help each person feel seen and heard and to tend to the variety of pregnancy stuff that can come up!! :) I highly recommend both her and Sue Ann’s classes and the partner yoga which we really appreciated! I also love that they give you a recording of every class you take so you can take it again and again.

West Asheville Yoga has been such a haven for me throughout these strange COVID days, and I am so excited to one day return in person to the studio. I have been a regular at Yoga in the Park classes (love the safe and socially distanced opportunity to hang and practice with others and some of my favorite teachers, like Tara – plus all the other great folks like Cat, Leaflin, Deirdre, etc. teaching at a distance and online!) as well as virtual prenatal classes with Roxy and Sue Ann. Being pregnant in a pandemic is tough, but these wise women have offered *such gifts* in the prenatal/postnatal classes and series I've taken – they've been some of my favorite yoga classes ever! This studio feels like a true community, even when we can't come together like ye olden days!

I practiced prenatal yoga weekly during my pregnancy, as well as completed a birthing yoga workshop through West Asheville Yoga with Roxy. It was a crucial part of preparing my mind and body for birthing my first child, and I truly believe that it helped me have the unmedicated birth that I desired. I seriously don’t know how I would’ve managed without the community, lessons learned, and opportunity to connect with my body, my baby, and my breath. I highly recommend this studio, the prenatal classes, and the birthing workshop. Thank you West Asheville Yoga! ❤ufe0f

West Asheville Yoga is warm, welcoming, and an excellent place for virtual classes. The prenatal series and classes with Roxy Robbins have been especially wonderful.
