Hot Yoga Asheville
Richard and I do yoga weekly at this studio. It is a VIBE. Be prepared to sweat, be challenged, and be uplifted by the energy of Asheville yogis.
Jones Mountain Trail Head
A beautiful local spot with several trail options. We walk our dogs here almost every day. Each route has a bit of a climb but nothing too intense, trails range from easy to moderately challenging. It’s a great place to get fresh air, move your body, and take in the mountain views.
