About Dede Boyd, MA, RYT 500
Dede brings a unique blend of skills, experience, and expertise to her work as a Masters-Level Counselor, holding certifications for school social work, guidance counseling, and special education. She has extensive experience in both school and outpatient settings in substance abuse and trauma.
Dede is a graduate of the 200- and 500-hour Embodyoga® teacher training with Patty Townsend at Yoga Center Amherst. Embodyoga® is an innovative and exciting approach to the practice of yoga informed by cutting-edge study in the field of body awareness. Through the process of “embodied inquiry,” [questioning, sensing, and witnessing every aspect of consciousness as it expresses through the body-mind] an intimate self-knowledge and self-transformation arises.
Dede is a Relax and Renew I® Trainer and completed her training with Judith Hanson Lasater at Kripalu. Dede teaches Restorative Yoga which offers the body a chance to rest deeply and revitalize. Restorative yoga can help if you are feeling fatigued, and/or stressed from daily activities, so you can tune into your body and find stillness. Many of the asana practices are simple and accessible for people of all ages and in all states of health, using props that are readily available—like pillows and chairs. These deeply relaxing poses help you rebalance your mind and body and create feelings of well-being and counteract the effects of chronic stress.
Dede completed her training with Lauren Walker and is a certified Energy Medicine Yoga® instructor. She is now working on her Advanced Teacher Training for EMYoga . Energy Medicine Yoga® is an integrative practice uniting ancient healing methods with modern science. Classic yoga postures are woven and paired with Energy Medicine techniques to communicate with the body in its own language and innate wisdom. By focusing on your body as a living system of energy, you are empowered to self-heal, thrive and flow in the life you are meant to live.
Dede invites students to find their own individual expression in their practice, using breath and intuition as a guide. Her classes focus on developing inner sensitivity to the body and creating harmony and balance in mind, body, and spirit. Dede brings enthusiasm and her own inner resources of love and joy to encourage students to be curious about what moves them from the inside out.

Comedy Open Mic Featuring Hilliary Begley, James Burks & Leah Garth
May we align our breath to sync with the beating of our hearts, healing ourselves and this planet from the inside out. Wandering through this life we connect with the elements. Through the earth, our breath, and Yoga we ground deep in our roots. The air is wild, free and full of possibility. Water nourishes our souls while reminding us to go with the flow. We ignite the fire of passion and light an awakening within, becoming one with the elements and connecting under one sun.
This event is lovingly hosted by West Asheville Yoga
