He completed his 200-hour teacher training at Asheville Yoga Center in early 2025, and continues to deepen his practice as both a teacher and student. His teaching style invites students to explore the highest version of themselves through strength building and unification of mind & body.

    Teaches QiFlow Tuesdays at 5:30pm

    With an extensive background in multiple yoga and movement modalities, including Iyengar, Power Yoga, Hatha, Pilates, Tai Chi and high intensity weight training, Morai brings experience and expertise to her guidance. She received her RYT200 from Jaya Yoga in 2019 and earned her SAYF (Sustainable Asana Yoga Foundation) certification in 2020. Through her time teaching, studying, and sculpting her personal yoga path, she's found a blended teaching style focused on the student discovering their own unique way to a fun, safe, and sacred practice. She believes yoga is just that, a PRACTICE. It's an opportunity to show up, respect what's different today--different in this moment--and find joy and gratitude for our breath and beating hearts. Yoga is a place to challenge ourselves to go further... and learn when to do less. ⁠
    ⁠
    Morai's philosophy is simple: when we take time to grow the ability to SENSE how our bodies move and breathe, we learn how to protect ourselves from injury and grow stronger. By practicing yoga in a slow and deliberate way we take what could be perceived as a purely calisthenic exercise and create a sacred, meaningful, practice.
