Ryan Conrad

Ryan has been exploring self-awareness practices and meditation since the age of 15. At 18 he discovered the yogic path and dove deeply into the study of asana, pranayama, and the yoga sutras. Ryan has studied with teachers from several yogic lineages, but has focused primarily on the Iyengar method, learning from BKS Iyengar and many of the senior Iyengar instructors in the US.

In 2002, Ryan completed the 250-hour Yoga Alliance teachers training at the Lighten Up! Yoga Center here in Asheville. He is currently earning a doctorate of physical therapy at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in order to expand his knowledge of anatomy, physiology, and how to work with a variety of impairments.

Join Ryan for his new Iyengar-inspired yoga class for All Levels on Sundays, 10:00–11:30 AM
