Monthly Service Projects

At Asheville Community Yoga, we believe in the power of community and the transformative impact of service. Our slogan, “Freedom Through Service,” reflects the heart of what we do—empowering ourselves and others through acts of kindness, connection, and giving back. It’s not just about rolling out your mat; it’s about coming together to make a positive impact. Yoga is so much more than a physical practice, and Seva (selfless service) is a huge part of our philosophy.

As an organization that relies on the support of volunteers, we understand the importance of mutual aid and community service. That’s why we facilitate monthly service projects in collaboration with other local nonprofits and organizations to extend the support we have to the greater Asheville/WNC community. These projects are an opportunity to connect, give back, and make a difference. Whether it’s helping build homes, cleaning up local parks, or packing meals for those in need, we aim to engage with the community in meaningful ways.

All are welcome, and we encourage you to bring your friends, family, and fellow yoga enthusiasts to join us in making a positive difference!

Want to join us for our next service project?

We’d love to have you with us as we continue to give back to the community that has supported us.

It’s a great way to get involved, connect with like-minded individuals, and give back to the place we all call home. Together, we’re creating freedom through service and making a lasting impact!

May Service Project:

Completing the Lucas & Felix Legacy Garden

Lucas and Felix Wisely were two brothers and students at North Buncombe Elementary School who tragically lost their lives, along with their mother and her fiancé, during Hurricane Helene.
The boys’ love for the outdoors inspired the school to build a legacy garden and playground in honor of the family.
We will be supporting with the completion of their heartfelt efforts on Sunday, May 17th from 9am – 12pm. Together, we will plant shrubs and perennials, weed and water garden beds, spread mulch, and connect with the community. Please join us!
