In Asheville, your yoga practice doesn’t have to stay inside four walls—it can stretch into the mountains, stretch beside rivers, and occasionally end with a well-earned local pint.
Here, sun salutations rise with the Blue Ridge skyline, breath deepens in salt caves and forest clearings, and balance is tested on paddleboards and brewery patios alike. If your mat is ready for a change of scenery, these are the most distinctive yoga experiences waiting for you in Asheville.
Where Can You Have Unique Yoga Experiences in Asheville?
At the Mountains and Waterfalls
You may be eager to soak up the mountain scenery but want something beyond a basic hike. At Namaste in Nature, enjoy a one-of-a-kind experience that combines yoga, hiking, and meditation along with the most beautiful mountaintops, sunsets, waterfalls, and even a vortex.
Asheville Wellness Tours offers two yoga hike experiences: the Classic Yoga Hike, a 2-mile hike to a mountaintop in the Blue Ridge Mountains, and the Sunset Yoga Hike.
In Downtown Asheville
There’s no better way to explore downtown than by practicing yoga with a bunch of like-minded friends. Visitors to Asheville can do just that with Asheville Wellness Tours, a downtown walking tour that can be easily customized for your group, featuring Asheville wellness experiences that are most relaxing and rejuvenating! Along the tour, you may experience local honey tastings, tea tastings and essential oil blending. Add on a stop at the Asheville Salt Cave where you'll enjoy a relaxing speleotherapy session.
In a Cave
Have you ever wished you could enhance the health benefits of your yoga routine? Ever thought about flexing your downward dog in a salt cave? The Salt Spa of Asheville and Himalayan Salt Cave Sanctuary combines the respiratory benefits of Salt Therapy (Halotherapy) with yoga to create Halo Yoga – yoga practiced in a Himalayan Salt Cave room. Breathing in the dry, salt air while practicing lung opening postures and pranayama (yogic breathing) techniques helps allergy sufferers, asthmatics, chronic respiratory problems and helps alleviate stress.
At a Brewery
Several Asheville breweries host frequent yoga pop-up experiences, including Hi-Wire Brewing, Highland Brewing and Whistle Hop Brewing, which offers goat yoga through Kidding Around Asheville. Asheville Wellness Tours offers Sip & Stretch events upon special request.
What If I Want A More Traditional Yoga Experience?
For travelers who want something steady and grounding between hikes, meals, and meandering days, Asheville’s yoga studios make it easy to drop in and reset.
