Pacha Muntean

Pacha Muntean fell in love with Ashtanga yoga as a doctoral student in La Jolla, California. After relocating to Asheville in 2014 for a professorship, she developed a deep connection and appreciation for our local yoga community.  Pacha is a recent gradate of Asheville Yoga Center’s 200-hour Teaching from the Heart teacher training program and she aims to complete her 300-hour certificate in August of 2025.  For Pacha, yoga is a passion, a divine expression of commitment, and a beloved affair of the heart. Her Bhakti yoga offerings are designed to provide students with opportunities to explore a heart-centric, embodied spiritual practice that integrates care for the body, soul, heart and mind. Her classes integrate classical yoga techniques combining flowing movements, simple breathwork, restorative postures, and delightful sprinkles of yoga wisdom and philosophy. She looks forward to meeting you at the studio!
