Debbie Harvley, founder and director of Mat Works Yoga, is a certified yoga instructor with Yoga Alliance. She has been a student and teacher of Hatha Yoga since 2001. Certified at the Asheville Yoga Center, she is an RYT 200 Instructor registered with Yoga Alliance. She is currently finishing her 500-hour program. She has studied with many gifted teachers including Stephanie Keach, Shala Worsley, Cindy Dollar, Paul Grilley, Roger Cole, Scott Blossom, Rod Stryker, Heather Tiddens and Doug Keller. She teaches an eclectic mix of yoga with influences of Vinyasa Flow, Iyengar, Yin and Restorative.

Debbie helps her students discover, as she did, the amazing effects of yoga on the physical body as well as uplifting the mental and emotional states of being. She utilizes a more holistic approach to healing with yoga as her guide and a personal determination to make a difference in her own health and well being.

A teacher at heart, she directs the class to the specific needs of the individual or group regardless of age, health or experience.

The experience of personally rehabilitating a back injury with regular yoga practice has produced a compassionate approach to teaching students with various needs.

In addition to providing group classes, Debbie’s specialty is to work one on one with a student in a private instruction setting, to provide individualized attention and instructor guided adjustments to help the student enhance their practice.
