A neighborhood studio · West Asheville, NC

Refined practice. Steady returns.

Small-room vinyasa, yin, and restorative. Eight students to a class, no mirrors, no music you have to apologize for. A practice you'll keep for ten years, not ten weeks.

A heated, breath-led flow built for a sustained year-round practice — not a weekend reset. Most of our regulars credit this class for the rest of their week. The room is small on purpose. We learn your name on day one.

Founder & lead· E-RYT 500· 14 years teaching

Maren trained in Mysore, returned to Asheville to open Serenity in 2017, and has taught a Friday-morning vinyasa class without missing a week since. She believes a yoga studio's first job is to be there next year, and the year after that.

The studio's other guides — three of them, all E-RYT — were once her students.
