ABOUT US
CONCRETE YOGA
This community-built studio is home to practitioners of all ages, styles, ability levels, body types, and backgrounds. We hold workshops, special events, private sessions, yoga therapy Sessions and yoga classes in different styles such as flow, power, gentle, prenatal, yin, restorative, adaptive/chair, aerial (gentle, flow, conditioning) and more.
Concrete Yoga was built as a space for inclusivity, community, non-judgement, and unification. It was built slowly and mindfully with the intent to serve those who are ready to adopt a foundation for wellness that is fun, inviting and health driven, from the inside, out.
In 2016, Concrete Yoga began its journey in a beautiful space within the Shops at The Mill complex, on Main St. in Cibolo, Texas. After nearly 3 years in business, it was time to search for a new home so the The Mill Boutique could expand to support their ever-growing community.
We were approached by a lovely homeowner in the heart of Old Town Cibolo, just a few hundred feet from our original location. She had been renovating a space just one block away from The Mill. After entering this unfinished space it was clear that the 203 Rawe Avenue location was destined to be the new home of Concrete Yoga. The building was purchased and became what it is today through countless donated hours of work to renovate and create the perfect foundation for Concrete Yoga.

FLOW YOGA
ANA DOWELL
Ana is a mom of 4, a Veteran, and a mental health provider who began her yoga journey 21 years ago in attempt to complement her lifestyle as a young, competitive swimmer.

This journey with yoga took Ana all the way through college as a Division-I, national swimmer, allowing her to compete at the highest levels of athletics while remaining focused and calm. After college, Ana’s yoga practice kept her driven and balanced during the rigors of graduate school. After years of practicing yoga, Ana saw all of the beautiful things that manifested in her life, in large part due to yoga, and recognized that she wanted to be able to share the benefits of practicing yoga with others.
Ana’s teaching style focuses on a strong flow, moving with the breath, balance, strength and intention, rounded out by great music! Ana’s main goal as an instructor is to guide individuals in their own graceful journey, while encouraging love, light and awareness through the practice of mindful movement.

POWER YOGA
ASHLEY SULLIVAN
Ashley has been growing her roots in Cibolo for over 12 years. She is blessed with 3 children, a supportive husband, and a loyal dog. She served as a special education teacher for 6+ years in the Judson school district, and now subs in Schertz/Cibolo on occasion.
She first met her yoga practice during that difficult high school transitional phase at a local gym. She needed a place to find refuge, so she took a class. By the final pose, the air was filled with the scent of lavender and she was feeling very
relaxed. She was hooked!
Yoga has been extremely beneficial and has given her clarity, increased strength/flexibility, and honestly just feels good.
Her yoga practice was always something she could turn to when she needed it. From the joys of healthy pregnancies, the sorrow of a miscarriage to the daily challenges of life, yoga feeds and heals her spirit.
She completed her Yoga Teacher training at Unbound Collective and she is thrilled to be part of this great community.
BABY & ME + RESTORATIVE YOGA
CARLY BIEHL
Carly discovered yoga in high school as an option for satisfying PE requirements. She fell in love with the flow of yoga as it allowed her to connect with and move her body in similar ways as her dance classes. As time went on and the stressors of life and a career in law enforcement subconsciously weighed on her, she used yoga as a method to ground herself and calm the mind. She began her YTT 200-hr training as a path to deepen this relationship within herself but finished realizing her capacity to hold space for others on the mat. She loves creating energetic fun flows to chill beats. She aims to be a conduit for energy to flow through you. Above all, she believes yoga should be accessible to everyone.
Carly recently moved with her husband and dog Newton to the San Antonio area. She misses her family, the beach, and summertime afternoon thunderstorms in her hometown of sunny south Florida, but she is excited to establish roots and friends that feel like family here in Cibolo. When she is not teaching or practicing yoga, she is adventuring with her husband, spoiling her pup, or reading a good book.
