Immersion Program

This is your invitation to go deeper!

Whether you’re preparing for a future yoga teacher training or simply feel the pull to understand yoga beyond the postures, Asheville Community Yoga’s Immersion Program offers a powerful entry point into the full spectrum of the practice.

More than intellectual study, this program is about embodiment, bringing the teachings of yoga into your body, your breath, your relationships, and your daily life. Each session blends experiential learning with thoughtful inquiry, encouraging you to integrate what you learn not just on the mat, but in the way you live, love, and serve.

250 hour Yoga Teacher Training

Become a yoga teacher and transform your life in the process.

Our 250-hour program encourages a beautiful balance between the self-discovery of exploring your body and self through personal practice, and the outward expression of explaining yoga postures and philosophy to others.

The training invites participants to connect more deeply inward to the self through an educated exploration of their own personal practice, while at the same time radiating outward with more purpose through the multidimensional paths of yoga.

The Heart of Prana: A 30 hour Pranayama (Breathwork) Teacher Training & Immersion

Step into the subtle world within & discover the quiet power of your breath. Join Jot Anant for a transformative 30-hour pranayama training rooted in the Adi Nath Shiva Lineage, where ancient wisdom meets modern accessibility. Open to all—teachers & curious seekers alike—this immersive journey reveals breath as more than air, but as prana: the vital force that shapes your energy, steadies your mind, & awakens deeper awareness.

Through skillful practice, you’ll cultivate clarity, balance, vitality, & inner spaciousness while gaining the tools to integrate (& even teach) these techniques with confidence & authenticity. If the breath has been calling you inward, this is your invitation to listen—space is limited, & your journey begins with a single inhale.
