Yoga Instructor
Robin Workman
Becoming fit is not just about the physical body but also becoming fit in the mind and spirit. The postures open the door to really good stuff housed in the head. Each time she steps on the mat it's an opportunity to find wholeness. To erase her palette and begin again. Robin's classes are about alignment, breath and space. A place for each person to find those things in themselves to possibly deepen their self knowledge and get inquisitive about the journey. Robin is a Yoga Alliance 200 RYT

Registered Yoga Instructor
Shelby Day
Shelby Day, RYT 500, began practicing yoga in 1999 after it was recommended by a doctor as a coping mechanism for severe anxiety and depression. She quickly realized the life-altering benefits that this practice gave to her. After seeing the long-term benefits these practices have brought to her own life, she decided to share them with others by earning her 200 RYT at Antahsara Yoga Shala in 2017.
She went on to earn Advanced Studies at Asheville Yoga Center where she focused on Yoga as a tool for spiritual, mental, and physical well-being. Her advanced training areas include Yoga Nidra, Yoga for Codependency, Yoga for Trauma, and Yoga for Cancer Patients and Caregivers among others. Shelby currently specializes in Yin, Restorative, meditation, and Yoga Nidra. If she can help one person live a happier, more peaceful, and satisfying life, she will consider her practice a success.

Active Isolated Stretching (AIS) Facilitator
Richard Eubanks
Richard began his journey with AIS in 2005 when a new massage therapist stretched him during every session. He was totally surprised at how invigorated and relaxed one could be at the same time. The class is all about making the participants feel the same way. Each class is laced with humor, interesting facts and brief anatomy lessons so that the participants are entertained as well as relaxed.
