Founders Announce Plans to Transition Ownership After a Successful 23 Years
Asheville Yoga Center co-founders Stephanie and Sunny Keach announced today their intention to transition ownership of their successful yoga center and its related properties. They are now beginning to take the necessary steps to entertain offers. Established more than twenty years ago, Stephanie and Sunny are now ready to embrace the next chapter of their lives.
In 1997, Stephanie and Sunny began a journey together to create something special—a safe and welcoming space for locals and visitors to benefit from the practice yoga and foster a community centered around inclusion. Since their inception, Asheville Yoga Center has continued to be a guiding light and a nourishing sanctuary for all.
“Our amazing teachers and staff are at the heart of our practice—but our purpose is rooted in helping others grow in strength, awareness, peace, and overall health,” said Stephanie Keach, Co-Founder of Asheville Yoga Center. “We have the utmost respect and gratitude for all that we have created together as a yoga family and beautiful community.”
“For several years now, we have been exploring what a transition in ownership would look like. We are both ready for new opportunities and eager to define our individual and shared paths ahead,” said Sunny Keach, Co-Founder of Asheville Yoga Center.
Stephanie and Sunny are confident that operations will not change, but instead will add fresh new energy to the foundation they have already built. They will be making this transition as smooth as possible for everyone. Trainings are booked as far out as December of 2021 and despite the constraints on business brought about by COVID-19, Asheville Yoga Center is continuing to run, business as usual including a recent expansion into virtual classes and trainings.
