How did you first become interested in your line of business? (if owner) - What is your background? (If owner or store manager)
Shaaron Honeycutt - studio director (and owner) came to yoga through low back pain in the mid-1990's. She is a long time yoga student, then became a yoga teacher. Allied Yoga used to be Blue Ridge Yoga, where she taught for 10+ years, the owner offered to Shaaron and she welcomed the opportunity to share something she is so passionate about with the local community.
How do you differentiate yourself from other businesses in your category and area?
We have highly trained instructors, who we continually work with to improve their level of expertise and ability. At Allied Yoga we believe any one can do and benefit from yoga, and have the people and facility to bring this about. Here at Allied Yoga we teach primarily in the Iyengar method of yoga and this is known for it's strong therapeutic qualities. Iyengar teachers complete at least two years of rigorous training for their introductory certificate.
We also have a fully equipped facility filled with many tools known as props, such as belts, blocks, a "yoga wall" (see our website: www.alliedyoga.com), and blankets, as aids in performing asanas (postures). The props enable students to perform the asanas (yoga postures) correctly, minimising the risk of injury or strain, and make the postures accessible to both young and old. The development of strength, mobility and stability are emphasized through the asanas.
