Dean Hamel

Dean’s yoga journey began in 2014, practicing on the living room floor while following videos on youtube. His entry into yoga was inspired by a desire to maintain strength and flexibility through all phases of life. He quickly learned that yoga offered far more than than. The benefits he realized for both body and mind have been life-changing.
He obtained his 200-hour YTT certification from Asheville Yoga Center in 2025 and is currently pursuing his 300-hour certification at the same studio. His teaching inspiration is rooted in a desire to share the many benefits of yoga with others. His teaching style is simple, clear, and deliberate. While offering yoga that works for everyone, Dean also has a goal to inspire more men to join the practice. He strives to bring a sense of meaning and ritual to his classes, allowing students to connect with more than just movement and postures. His classes are designed to strengthen your body, nourish your mind, calm your spirit, and maybe even touch your heart.
