Yoga Teacher & Energy Worker
Strength you can feel on a Tuesday.
I teach strength-forward yoga alongside reiki-informed energy work. Classes are slow, precise, and unglamorous; private sessions are where we build the thing your practice keeps asking for. Twelve years in, I am still most interested in the people who think they are bad at this.

What “core strength” actually means
It is not your abdominals, and it is definitely not how long you can hold a plank.

Why the series is six weeks and not four
Four weeks is long enough to learn the shapes. Six is long enough to stop thinking about them.

What clients carry home
“I signed up for Foundations assuming I would be the worst one there. By week five I was doing things I had written off years ago.”
“Rowan teaches like someone who actually expects you to get better. The private sessions are where it clicked for me.”

I teach from the studio in West Asheville and hold private sessions in the same room, with video available for anyone who needs it. Series run in fixed blocks so progress is something you can actually see.
