About West Asheville Yoga
Rooted in Community Since 2006
West Asheville Yoga (WAY) was founded in 2006 by a local teacher with a simple vision: to create a welcoming neighborhood studio where people of all ages, bodies, and backgrounds could connect through practice. From the beginning, WAY has remained locally owned and deeply community-rooted, serving as a steady presence in West Asheville for nearly two decades.
What We Offer
WAY is intentionally small and personal, our focus is on inclusivity and community connection. Whether you’re stepping into your first class, deepening your practice through our 200-hour Find Your WAY Teacher Training, or joining a seasonal workshop or event, our teachers are here to support you with skill, care, and heart.
What Sets Us Apart
At WAY, you’re more than just a student—you’re part of a community. Our teachers know you by name, and our space is designed to be a place of belonging, resilience, and joy. We’re proud to be a neighborhood studio that has stayed local, stayed rooted, and continues to grow alongside the people we serve.
A New Chapter
Owner and lead teacher Kim Drye has been part of the WAY family since 2010. After teaching here for over a decade, Kim stepped into ownership just after COVID—a time when many yoga studios were closing. With the support of teachers and students, she carried the studio into its next chapter, rebuilding trust, consistency, and connection. Most recently, Kim and the WAY community navigated recovery from Helene together, a reminder that yoga is not just about what happens on the mat—it’s about how we show up for one another in challenging times.
