Amazing Space
Transform at Your Pace

Classes in Yoga, Tai Chi, Meditation, and Breathwork — Fayetteville, Arkansas

 

 Your Haven for Safe, Accessible, Sustainable, Adaptable practices (S.A.S.A.)… since 1998.

In our center, you’ll find a calming and welcoming atmosphere. Entering the main studio, you step onto suspended oak floors that you sense will be kind to your body and bones. The entire building was designed and built specifically for yoga and related wellness practices.

In class you’ll be guided by thoroughly trained, attentive instructors who offer variations for all kinds of bodies, and all skill levels and experience. You’ll find acceptance and encouragement from your fellow participants. The windows facing the gardens are often open, enabling you to hear the birds, and the water burbling in the waterfall feature. After class, you might sit and talk on the large back deck, grateful to be part of a caring community at this healing haven in the heart of town.

  • "I have MS, but MS does not have me. MS will not define how I live my life. I will. After integrating VariYoga into my daily routine, I began to notice significant differences in my strength and ability to move within just weeks, taking a class every day of the week. The AYC and VariYoga has become a part of my lifestyle and I invite anyone that wants to help their body feel better and heal to join the Arkansas Yoga Center."

    —Margaret Howlett

  • "Thank you so much for providing a wonderful and healing space for yoga practice in Northwest Arkansas! I have enjoyed every class I attended and found the teachers at the Arkansas Yoga Center extremely knowledgeable, kind, and welcoming."

    —Krista Selnau

    —Vicky Willis

  • "AYC is a beautiful custom-built yoga studio, with dedicated team, and caring well-trained teachers. It`s the only studio I can think of for a thousand miles that is built from the ground up specifically for yoga. Totally unique. I highly recommend!"

    — Karl Straub

  • Now that my back strain has gotten better, I have eased back into yoga, supta padangusthasana sequence is saving me yet again! Thanks to VariYoga for this sequence, accessible poses, and the philosophy of honoring our bodies (apparently I needed this reminder). I don't think my back would be healing so quickly if it wasn't for VariYoga!

    —Arianna Gaesswitz

  • "I ordered the VariYoga DVD and it brought me so much joy to go through the familiar sequences with Andrea and Bryan. Thank you so much- the DVD will not only strengthen my home practice physically but spiritually as well."

    —Darcy Brandshaw Reifenberger

  • "I have been a student at Arkansas Yoga Center for the past 10 years, and I made a commitment to myself and my yoga practice by taking the Arkansas Yoga Center Teacher Training in the spring and summer of 2016. It has truly been an inspirational process for me. This program is truly world class. Andrea and her fellow teachers create a teaching and learning environment full of knowledge, patience, empathy, openness, and community. I feel a new strength and confidence, and I am more motivated to begin my yoga teaching journey and to continue my life long yoga practice!

    —Erin Cohen

  • "Beautiful and calming space, clean and serene. Instructors are friendly and understanding of different abilities. AYC is truly accessible, if you feel intimidated by yoga this is the place for you. Come as you are and find acceptance and community."

    —Eva Thompson

  • What a beautiful, quiet and serene retreat right in the middle of a busy city.
 I’ve taken classes with several teachers and although each are a little different they all seem very well trained and proficient in what they do. 
Classes are engaging and can be challenging yet at a gentle pace inclusive of everyone at any level.

    Trevor Lewin

  • As a beginner, Arkansas Yoga has been wonderful! They are very welcoming and comfortable for all skill levels. In the first month my wife and I have felt the benefits, stress reduction, sore muscle & joint relief, sleeping better.

    Gary Knox

  • I'm so glad I ran into you, Andrea! AYC is a symbol of healing for me, and I'm grateful for you and all who make that space possible for the community and beyond. I'll be back again soon, as always!

    Ashley Wilson

  • I am a Jazzercise instructor who has been feeling lately like I needed to add some more stretching to my life – and I found your show on PBS – I just wanted to say I am so enjoying working out with you. I have never done Yoga and don’t know a lot about it, but I like what you do! Your explanations make it easy to understand and to follow. I love the soft relaxing music, provided by your daughter! I was very disappointed to learn that you are in Fayetteville! (I am in Little Rock). I think I will get the DVD that is on your website. Just wanted to say thanks for introducing me to the world of VariYoga!

    Mandy Warford

  • I’ve continued my VariYoga practice at home since work has kept me from attending live sessions. It truly is a sustainable and enjoyable yoga practice that I absolutely love. Thank you for bringing this yoga to Northwest Arkansas and creating such a welcoming space to practice.

    Roger Penny

  • VariYoga nurtures my body, my mind, and my soul. AYC is truly a gift to our community and Northwest Arkansas. I invite you to join us to find out for yourself what the authentic spirit of yoga truly is.

    Sandy Prince

  • I love Arkansas Yoga Center! The teachers are amazing and the space is perfect and calm. I always feel better after class than I did when I got there. Thankful for this space
