Deborah Inaba

Deborah is an ACSM registered clinical exercise physiologist with an MS in Exercise Physiology and Health Promotion. She has been a certified exercise instructor in many formats for the last 20 years most of which was in a hospital based Wellness Center. Deborah has been a runner, a triathlete and group exercise junkie since her 20’s. Prior to moving from Virginia, she attended Yoga practices working to maintain her spiritual practice developed during 20 years living in Japan. She practiced Kongo Zen Buddhism in Japan and studied many Japanese arts. She moved to Asheville in March 2020 to be closer to the deep nature of these mountains. Before lockdown occurred, Deborah attended a yoga class at ACY in February 2020 and knew from that moment that ACY was a community where the true spiritual nature of Yoga was upheld and practiced. She took the deep dive and completed the ACY 250hr Yoga Teacher Training. Deborah looks forward to sharing movement and community practice with all as we connect with the infinite light of consciousness and life.
