Fall tour recap, part 3: North Carolina

I can now say with assurance North Carolina and I are a great fit! For my fourth visit I taught a 25 hour teacher training at my friend Stephanie Keach’s Asheville’s Yoga Center. For my new friend, Hollace Stephenson, we sold out a Monday afternoon/evening in Charlotte hosted by her Yoga Shala. Aside from excellent barbeque in both cities, it was a beautiful time of year to be in that part of the country.

There was plenty of hands-on training and fascinating exchanges with experienced teachers. We’re already discussing plans for a return visit to both studios, and I’m looking forward to returning next year!
