We are beyond grateful for the opportunity to serve as a place where our commUNITY can come together to connect, breathe, and feel a true sense of belonging. It’s thanks to your continued support that we’re able to create a space that nurtures connection, healing, and growth.

We’re excited to announce that our goal for this year’s 2024 Annual Fundraiser is $75,000! These funds will help support critical areas that keep our community thriving, including:

  • Bringing our staff to a living wage
  • Campus maintenance
  • Property taxes
  • Repair costs from damage sustained during the hurricane

Your generous donations directly fill the gap between our operational expenses and the donations we receive throughout the year. Every contribution, no matter the size, plays an essential role in keeping our space vibrant and accessible to all.

Thank you for your consideration. We are truly privileged and grateful for your unwavering support throughout the years. Your presence, generosity, and dedication to this commUNITY are what makes this space so special.

Youth Summer Camp 2025

Asheville Community Yoga is thrilled to be offering a total of 6 weeks of yoga and mindfulness camp this summer for kids ages 5-10! Our yoga camp holistically introduces children to the 8 limbs of yoga in digestible and engaging ways.  Summer camp days are filled with a combination of: mindfulness, movement, yoga games, activities, art, gardening, and more! 

Children will connect with their breath, have fun as they move their bodies, and tap into their creativity as they express themselves through music, art, storytelling and nature.

Testimonials from Summer Camp 2024

“My child never wanted to leave at pick up and when asked what her favorite part of the day/week was she said ‘EVERYTHING!’ -K.R.

“My child absolutely loved camp. She was so excited to go each day and told me lots about the activities they did there (normally she isn’t as descriptive about activities she does at school) and they clearly really caught her attention. She made friends and was SO excited and proud to share her project at the end of the week.” – M.P.

Food Connection was founded in Asheville, NC in 2015 and has since rescued over 700,000 surplus Chef-prepared meals and delivered them to our neighbors in need in Asheville and Western North Carolina.

We’ll be helping to pack meals that will be distributed out to communities in need. 5 volunteers max. due to limited space.

Sign up at the front desk or email Ariel@AshevilleCommunityYoga.org

Tickets are 1 for $5 or 5 for $20 and can be purchased online or at the front desk through January 31st!

The winner will be drawn on February 1st.
