What Makes Weaverville Yoga Special?
Weaverville Yoga is a studio like no other - a heart-centered yoga studio in downtown Weaverville Carolina, nestled in the Blue Ridge Mountains.
The studio serves all ages, all bodies, and all levels of experience. Its community of students and deeply learned teachers is what set it apart — a place where neighbors become friends and people show up for each other on and off the mat.
Our studio occupies a beautifully restored historic building with four soaring arched windows, original honey-gold hardwood floors, and warm, light-filled rooms that feel like coming home.
But the beautiful location is just the start of the story.
“I felt seen.”
That’s he comment we hear most often from a first-time student.. It’s easy to understand why. Our teachers are chosen as much for their caring attitude as for their training and experiene.
Our teachers come from many traditions, including Anahata, Ashtanga, Kundalini, Jivamukti Yoga, Kripalu, and more. Their classes reflect their unique training
That’s why Inside the studio we have a wall where we keep photos of some of the teachers who have inspired us. We honor the lineage of our teachers and their masters. It reminds of that we’re part of something bigger than ourselves.
That’s one thing that sets Weaverville Yoga apart. Our special teachers.
Teachers Who Really Care
An Owner Who Inspires.
Perhaps the main thing that makes Weaverville Yoga special is the woman who owns it.
Barbara Schauer was living and teaching yoga in Asheville, quite happy. A friend kept insisting on visiting a bakery in Weaverville. Once she finally agreed to go, she looked around the town and wondered,”Where is their yoga studio? This is such an interesting small town - artistic, light hearted, charming, and current. Where is the yoga studio?”
After lunch, they crossed the street to visit a friend on Florida Avenue. Barbara’s eyes were drawn to a door with a black canvas awning. ”That would be the place for a yoga studio for the town!” Barbara thought.
In the summer of 2009, when the old yoga center on Broadway in Asheville closed, Barbara opened Weaverville Yoga in the small room with the black canvas awning over the door. And the rest… is herstory!
Barbara sets the loving tone that fills the studio like a sweet perfume.. It won’t take long before she knows the names of your cats, how you like your eggs cooked, and your favorite TV show.
Her love of yoga inspires her students and our teachers too.
