Welcome in

A neighborhood studio, not a fitness factory

Lantern & Lotus began in 2014 as one heated room above a coffee roaster on Haywood Road. Twelve years later we have three studios, a tea bar and a bodywork suite — but the feeling is the same: you are a person here, not a membership number.

We teach yoga the way it was meant to be learned — slowly, kindly, and in good company. Whether it is your first downward dog or your thousandth, you will be met exactly where you are.

  • Small, unhurried classes capped so you are actually seen
  • Heated and non-heated studios, mats and props provided
  • Meditation, breathwork and licensed massage under one roof
  • Teachers who learn your name and remember your knee

In Their Words

Why people stay for years

★★★★★
“I walked in tight and anxious after a decade at a desk, and walked out breathing again. A year later this is the hour I protect on my calendar.”

Vinyasa member · West Asheville
★★★★★
“Priya’s Yin class undid knots I’d carried for years. The heated room, the tea afterward, the way they learn your name — it feels like a living room, not a gym.”

“I came for prenatal classes and stayed through my daughter’s first birthday. Sophie made me feel strong when nothing else did.”
