Welcome!

Are you hoping to develop a healthy routine in 2023? I’m Arlene Riley and I have been teaching yoga in Hendersonville since 2005. My 12 year old studio closed in December 2022 , unable to mitigate the unique challenges of post Covid 19. 

The pandemic has fundamentally changed what the practice of yoga looked like but there are certainly silver linings to the change.  Having virtual options for practicing yoga is now the new norm. As the pandemic forced change upon us, more people today are using in-home smart equipment, apps, and zoom to learn more, enjoy the convenience, and stay safe. Live stream classes and on-demand content provide the flexibility (pardon the pun) we all have come to expect and I believe it helps make a regular habit of practice more possible.    

The most important thing is to get started with a daily habit of movement.  Not only will this help you live longer, it will improve your quality of life both physically and mentally. I think we can all agree that the definition of successful aging, no matter how old you are,  is being independent, maintaining function and quality of life and doing the things you want to do, not just reaching a targeted age number. 

Online yoga removes the obstacles to regular practice and paves the way for consistency. It also provides community.  I hope you'll join us!
