  Such a fun and energetic atmosphere! The instructors make the lessons accessible to various stages of experience, providing examples of modifications and clear next steps while welcoming fun and improvisation too. There’s a general sense of community at every class. Unlike other fitness centers, I felt very welcome as a plus size person. There’s a strong sense of body positivity and encouragement to be confident in your body. Genuinely such a fun and empowering experience every time. I’m so grateful I found Uphora!

  Incredibly kind staff and fun music, however wouldn't recommend for someone who is new as the instructor does not provide cues to the routines.The moves themselves are basic/for all levels.

  Love Uphora and love Heather's beginner bellydance class! She is wonderful at building our skills over time and creating a peaceful environment that helps me decompress after work and feel lovely in and about my body.

  Uphora is my happy place. Hip hop fitness with Marisa Hilley, Sacred Female Embodiment with Katrina, and especially Egyptian Belly Dance with Monika Guerra. All 3 of them are incredible dancers and they bring such contagious positive energy. I always leave smiling!

  So happy this dance studio exists in Asheville! My favorite is the belly dance class with Monika. After studying belly dance for 2 decades I struggled to find a classical Egyptian instructor that met my expectations until her! Also love all the classes and instructors at Uphora. Thanks Maui for bringing this to Asheville!
