Yoga
Wellness Center Yoga
The Wellness Center offers a variety of yoga classes that are free for our members to attend. In order to meet the needs of our members we’ve labeled the classes according to levels. This will allow members to choose classes that are suitable for their current fitness levels.
Level 1
Beginner or Gentle
- A level 1 class will be introductory or beginners class. Instructors will explain thoroughly how to get in and out of each pose and the proper alignment for each pose. Level 1 classes will move more slowly than a higher level class and will offer you lots of modifications in each pose to fit your fitness level.If you can comfortably walk at a brisk pace for 30 minutes or more you should be fine in a level 1 class.
Level 2
Intermediate
- A level 2 class will generally be more challenging as you move from pose to pose. If something is too challenging you are welcome to rest or modify the poses to fit your fitness level. A level 2 class will also begin to incorporate more advanced poses. You can always modify or choose not to do a pose if you feel uncomfortable. This class requires a good amount of both strength and endurance.
Level 3
Advanced
- A level 3 class will be advanced. There will not be as much instruction on proper alignment as the teacher will assume that students know and understand the correct position for each pose. The class will be more fast paced and move very quickly. A level 3 class requires a good amount of strength, endurance and experience. This class is not recommended for beginners or those new to yoga.
Our Instructors
Devin Treger
I believe that we all have an inner guide, and the breath is the tool to unlock it. By linking our physical movements to our breath in a fluid flow, we allow ourselves to connect and foster our relationship with the Self. My teaching style is highly intuitive, meaning that each class is catered to the people and energies that show up. I’m passionate about creating a welcoming space for breath and movement for every student. We all have something to teach each other!
Laura Price
Laura Price has been practicing yoga for five years. She is certified with over 200 hours of teacher training from the Asheville Yoga Center. She is also a trained dancer and choreographer and loves to incorporate yoga is all aspects of her life.
Besty Harris
I teach a Vinyasa flow style of yoga. This means that the various poses (asanas) are connected in a fluid manner, almost as a dance. I emphasize breath, flexibility, strength, and balance. My classes are accessible to all through modifications and the use of props such as blocks, straps, and blankets. I am especially sensitive to the needs of those with specific challenges to mobility, endurance, and balance.
.
Brad Ratay
I really enjoy connecting with the community & sharing a collective movement practice. My classes are a playful and lighthearted vinyasa flow. You may hear cues such as “move & groove,” “give it a lil wiggle,” and “gyrate the hips.” I also teach a restorative yoga class, which is intended to make yoga accessible for all ability levels. Here are some fun facts about myself:
Biggest inspiration – Richard Simmons
Favorite food – Fancy toast
Favorite yoga pose – Happy baby

What Is Cupping Therapy?:
Cupping, or Myofascial Decompression, is a therapy that has been around for many hundreds of years, and has been used across the world. It is most notably employed in Traditional Chinese Medicine, but has also been implemented from Egypt to ancient Greece, and by a number of other civilizations for various purposes.
Cupping is a form of deep tissue massage that instead of using deep pressure to the tissue, utilizes a negative pressure or vacuum to decompress muscles and the surrounding fascia, and to increase blood flow to affected areas. This can be used to break up adhesions, or “muscle knots,” and to stretch the fibers of muscles, thus freeing up range of motion and alleviating pain from tight muscles.
One of the hallmark effects of cupping is the circular marks left on the treated area. Some may remember seeing these marks on swimmer Michael Phelps during his domineering performance at the 2016 Rio Olympics. Technically these marks are bruises, as blood has been pulled to the surface of the skin, however in most cases these bruises are painless to the touch.
This type of Myofascial work can also be used to break up scar tissue, so it’s just as good for post surgery/injury clients as it is for athletes or anyone who is just up for an interesting yet very effective treatment.
“The Therapists at the Wellness Center are amazing! Cannot recommend enough. Kind, professional, talented – really, the whole package!”

I value immensely her capabilities, and her personalization of her skills and modalities to my presenting symptoms. I accomplish more with every session!”
