🌲✨ Dreamscape Meets Asana ✨🌲
A Yoga Hike with Kim + Tara | Hosted by West Asheville Yoga

Sunday, Sept 28th 4pm.

This hike falls on the weekend that marks the anniversary of Hurricane Helene—a powerful reminder of nature’s force and our own resilience. As we gather in the mountains, we’ll honor both the beauty and the fragility of the Earth we call home.

Through mindful asana woven into our hike, we’ll explore what arises when we pause to listen: 🌬 the wind in the trees, 🌿 the ground beneath our feet, 🌌 the dreamscapes of our own inner world. Every step on the trail becomes an invitation to reflect, remember, and reconnect.

Let the mountains hold you. Let the practice guide you. Let the weekend be a space of remembrance, healing, and renewal.

📩 DM us for the registration link—spaces are limited. $45

✨ In “Alignment” classes this week at : Connection + Centering
✨
Mondays + Wednesdays | 10:30–11:45am |

This week we explore core connection—not just abs and effort, but the quiet strength that arises when we center ourselves in the midline.
Think: balance, steadiness, and the deep internal support that allows us to move with integrity, even when life throws us off course.

🔹 Focus: gentle core activation, spinal stability, breath-led movement
🔹 Expect: supported twists, simple standing balance, and subtle ab work that honors wrist + back sensitivities
🔹 Modifications for all bodies, always

This series is intentionally slow and thoughtful—designed to support folks with back pain, wrist issues, desk bodies, and anyone recovering or recalibrating.

Come build awareness from the inside out. One breath, one steady return to center at a time. 🌿

Also teaching “Gentle Flow” Friday at 9am— a mellow, floor based practice.

This week’s theme in my Alignment classes at West Asheville Yoga (WAY): Spine + Core Awareness 🌀

We’re building on last week’s foundation work with a focus on stabilizing from the center and exploring how subtle core engagement supports the spine and creates freedom in the limbs. Expect mindful repetition, accessible variations, and space to meet your body right where it is.

These classes are designed with care for folks managing back pain, wrist sensitivity, and the effects of long hours at a desk. Come as you are, move intentionally. 🧘‍♀️✨

🗓 Mondays + Wednesdays | 10:30–11:45am
🗓 New! Fridays | 9–10am | Gentle Yoga

Join me for a FREE COMMUNITY CLASS at Love Shine Play next weekend— Sunday, July 27th 2-3pm right in the heart of downtown at “House of Joy” in Pack Square.

Description:

Find Your Way: Through the Heart

Join Kim Drye, Owner of West Asheville Yoga (WAY) for a heart-centered practice that weaves together movement, stillness, breath, and intention. This class is an invitation to soften the armor, reconnect to your inner compass, and let your body be a vessel for both tenderness and strength.

Through thoughtful alignment, accessible flow, and grounded presence, we’ll explore the heart not just as an anatomical space—but as a place of truth, resilience, and belonging. Expect a blend of slow, intentional movement and moments of deep pause, designed to help you reorient toward what matters most.

Come as you are. Leave with a little more clarity, a little more courage, and a renewed sense of your own WAY forward.

✨NEW CLASS ALERT✨

Starting this Friday, I’m adding a brand new Gentle Yoga class to the schedule at in a addition to my regular Monday and Wednesday 10:30am Alignment classes. This one is a practice I’ve lovingly dubbed:
“Floor Wallerin’” 🧘‍♀️🐢

Fridays at 9am
Think: slow, stretchy, low to the ground. Lots of props, lots of ease, lots of sighs.

Perfect for those needing a soft landing, some nervous system nourishment, or just an excuse to roll around on the mat without doing too much. 💫

Come to class! Your body will thank you.

“Open your heart” isn’t just a poetic idea—it’s a radical, embodied practice.

These words from , shared in one of their newsletters, have been echoing in me. In yoga and wellness spaces, phrases like “open your heart” can start to sound hollow—like something we toss around instead of truly live. But Andrea’s reflections bring it back to something raw and tender.

As someone holding space for yoga in rooms where bodies carry grief, injury, tenderness, and quiet resilience—I needed this reminder. Opening the heart isn’t about bypassing pain. It’s about moving through it with honesty and care. About surrendering to what is, without needing it to be prettier or more palatable.

These slides are from their writing, not mine. Andrea passed away yesterday. While their poetry is their deepest art, this felt worth sharing.

Andrea’s voice meant so much to so many—especially within the q***r and trans community. Their courage, tenderness, and truth-telling changed lives.

May their words keep opening us.

🧘‍♀️ I spent the morning writing out my full 6-week class plan for the Alignment series at — every Monday + Wednesday, 10:30–11:45am.

Each week has a clear theme, focused areas of support, and built-in modifications for accessibility. These classes are designed with care for folks working with back pain, wrist sensitivity, or simply the toll of sitting at a desk all day.

The structure blends gentle repetition (to build familiarity and support the nervous system) with just enough variety to keep it inclusive, interesting, and adaptable.

✨ This Week: Foundation + Awareness
Theme: Rooting + Grounding
We’ll return to breath, core awareness, and pelvic alignment — all from the ground up. No wrist-bearing. No rushing. Just deep listening, slow building, and space to feel held.

Whether you’re brand new or gently returning to movement, this class is a steady place to land.

Drop-ins welcome 💛 Sliding Scale Pricing: $22, $18 or $14.

My two greatest loves (non-human edition): books and yoga.

A year ago, and I started the West Asheville Yoga Book Club, and it’s honestly been one of the most meaningful, soul-nourishing things I’ve ever been part of. (Success here isn’t measured in dollars—this event is free.99 and full of heart.)

Most of our meetings have taken place in my living room, but this time, we’re heading back to ☕️📚

Our summer pick, Mirrors in the Earth by , couldn’t be more aligned with where I’m at right now. Every book has felt timely in its own way, but after the last few months—intense, post-traumatic, inward, transformative—this one has been a deeply grounding companion.

Asia Suler is a local author, herbalist, and all-around badass. Her words are balm and revelation. A few favorite lines:

“Though the reverberations of trauma may be the farthest thing from beauty, the healing that can come after… is perhaps the most beautiful and transcendent force on Earth.”

And this one on boundaries (which I feel in my body lately):

“With better boundaries, my nervous system is free to take in all the subtle, sensuous details of life… Time slows down… I find myself stopping to admire a flower, wondering how I never noticed the technicolor joy of it all.”

✨ Our next gathering is Sunday, July 20th at 11:30am — there’s still plenty of time to grab the book and read along. Come as you are.

xo,
Kim
