Are you a paid caregiver—or been doing the unpaid work of taking care of family members or friends and looking for ways to avoid or manage the burnout?
This is a virtual program for those of you who are exhausted from the daily work of caregiving, in whatever capacity you are doing it. We all know that when you are doing the hard work of caregiving sometimes it isn’t possible to find a full hour to take a regular yoga class and this program gives you options for a busy schedule.
The hope is that this program offers you some tools to take care of yourself in the “cracks” of daily life—those moments waiting at a red light, or in line at the store, or doing dishes.
Are you avoiding going to yoga because you are not sure how to take care of your spine in a class?
Or are you aware that certain postural dysfunction, such as sitting or standing with too much forward flexion in your spine can potentially raise your risk of fractures?
If you would like the answers to these questions and more, join this incredible virtual program full of great tips and information on keeping your bones healthy and strong!
This program will be specifically designed for those individuals who have Osteoporosis or Osteopenia so they will feel more comfortable participating in a yoga program.
Are you new to yoga – or coming back to yoga after an injury, break or baby?
This 5 class series is designed for beginners or those looking to re-learn the the fundamentals of a yoga practice, and is a solid way to explore your body + expand on your wellness journey.
We’ll break down the asanas for you in a video AND a step-by-step guide to help you gain a deeper understanding of how the poses work. The program is broken down into standing, seated, and balancing poses with a final class that helps you put it all together into a Vinyasa flow.
If you’re nervous to try your first in-person yoga class- start with this program!
Do you want to see how much closer you can get to being the best version of yourself within 30 days?
If you’re ready to see what positive changes can happen if you commit to yoga, meditation, mindfulness and journaling, sign-up today!
This program asks that you commit to a recommended 5 days of yoga (minimum of 30 minutes) + 1 day of meditation + 1 day of rest over a 7 day period, as well as commit to a 30 day goal of your own.
There will be guided meditations, pre-recorded yoga sessions + mediations, and you’ll be asked to complete daily journal prompts to help you explore your relationships, internal narratives, and life purpose.
If you are willing to commit to really doing the work and healing your back pain once and for all, then we invite you to take charge and make the necessary changes in your daily life to make this possible!
In this 30 day program you will learn:
- How to keep your back and spine strong and free of injury
- How to identify your “poor posture” pain points and what may be causing them
- Simple ways to restore proper alignment to your spine from top to bottom
- The best poses and stretches to release chronically tight muscles and strengthen chronically weak or underdeveloped muscles
Ready to drift off into a great night’s sleep? Yoga is the perfect way to reclaim your pathway to dreamland!
Yoga for ZZzzzs: Finding calm, rest & relaxationis a virtual 7-day program designed to promote mindful awareness, whole body wellness, rest, relaxation + a good night’s sleep.
As you transition through the ups and downs of life and the seasons, taking time to focus on our personal well-being and the overall health benefits of a good night’s sleep cannot be underestimated!

Are you ready to teach yoga but not yet confident enough in your skills as a teacher? Or have you been teaching yoga for a while but feel like your teaching style is stale or stuck in a rut?
This mentorship program will help you evolve and grow as a teacher, coming into tune with your own original style and brand as you carve out a special niche for your classes and offerings.
This is a 12-week mentorship program designed to help yoga teachers that are still struggling with teaching yoga and/or yoga teachers that are looking to change things up and feeling that their classes are stale or stuck in the same old routine that does not inspire them anymore!
Are you eating your feelings or wolfing down food on the go? Do you feel anxious around mealtimes or food choices? Have you ever wondered how meditation may affect your food choices?
What if we approached food the same way we approach yoga?
Doesn’t it make sense to adapt our food choices and our approach to eating food to our bodies needs just like we adapt a yoga pose to our specific anatomy and physiology!
This program will aid a mind/body realignment that will help you examine your eating habits, cravings, and introduce you to methods of mindful preparation.

“Amber is an incredibly gifted instructor, particularly when it comes to yoga. She is calming, thorough, and provides that extra-added touch of essential oils, gentle adjustments, and themed practices. I love that Amber’s yoga classes are dynamic and she’s taught moves in her classes that I’ve never done in 15 years of practicing yoga. She’s a breath of fresh air in the yoga scene. I highly recommend her!”

“That special moment when your body, mind and spirit blend into a yummy synchronized yogic OHMMMMMMM……..yeah, YTT has given me like a hundred of those so far! You guys are awesome!”

“Jay is a wonderful yoga instructor; has great variety in classes; is always dependable (there and on time); is kind and understanding; and always available to answer questions and give additional instruction if necessary. She is calm and classes are enjoyable no matter the challenge.”
– Myndie S.
-
“One of the things I have loved about the program is that we are not just learning how to teach certain poses; I have been learning things I didn’t even know I could learn about yoga in general, including about the subtle energies, how they tie to both anatomy and the philosophy of yoga.”
– 2019 YTT Student
-
“Jay is an always-patient, highly skilled teacher who makes everyone feel welcome and able to participate. Her class is always a joy and rewarding.”
– Barbara S.

“I waited years looking for the right yoga teacher training program and WYC was definitely the reason why. I’m absolutely convinced I could not have found a program that was more creative, inclusive, or supportive. I would definitely attribute that to the meticulous design of the curriculum and incredibly talented teachers you brought in to lead so many cool facets of the course. You drew in some of the most amazing students with all this awesomeness and I’ve been so thrilled to learn alongside them this year so thank you, thank you, thank you for every last delicious bit of it.”

“I woke up one morning and realized I was 60 years old, that I could live well into my 80s and that I had to do something to improve my strength and stamina if I wanted a good quality of life. I was caring for small grandchildren periodically, and it exhausted me.
As soon as I saw Waynesville Yoga Center was opening, I came. I am so thankful to Jay for a place where I feel safe, not self-conscious, and where I can attend classes that benefit me without feeling in competition with anyone else. Restorative and Yin have improved my flexibility and meditation skills; Beginner Flow, Flow Level 1 and Gentle Chair Yoga have increased my strength and balance and also challenged me, as has Barre and Balance!
I feel better than I ever have – physically, emotionally, and spiritually. I have met so many new friends. All of the instructors I have had are wonderful and willing to share of themselves. Thank you, Jay, your endeavor is making a tremendous difference in so many lives!”

“WYC YTT has given me such tremendous depth in my practice of yoga on and off the mat. I’ve loved seeing my evolution this year as I learned all the ways I can add yoga to my home and work life. I started just expecting to build a stronger personal practice, but now I am so excited to see where this will all take me in the years to come.”

“Since I started taking classes at Waynesville Yoga Center, I can now go down the stairs ‘normally’, instead of one foot at a time. I’m really pleased with how these classes are helping me.”
– Carol L.
-
“When I first began practicing yoga, it seemed like the more I learned, the more I wanted to know. I bought a few books but still didn’t feel like a real student of the practice of yoga. When the 200 hour YTT was offered, I saw it as the perfect chance to really expand my knowledge. I have come to realize that with this deep dive into the practice of yoga, I have a strong knowledge bank that will allow me to continue to expand my knowledge of yoga for years to come.”
– Jann F.
-
“Jay takes time to answer questions, to give help when needed in performing movements and is a gentle, calm person which helps my yoga experience.”
– Anita S.
-
“Jay met me prior to class to help me polish my yoga teaching skills. I really appreciate her willingness to meet and teach me to make me a better instructor.”
– Brooke H.
-
I signed up for YTT thinking I had time to myself to focus on me, but the world has other plans. It’s still the best decision I’ve made, and I am so grateful that what I have learned has come to me at a time that I can apply it to so much real world trauma. This YTT has been a saving grace!
– Kim T.
-
“YTT provided me with the tools and knowledge to deepen my own yoga practice and help others with theirs. This program challenged me in unforeseen ways and I am so thankful to have experienced this journey with such incredible teachers and fellow students. It was truly a life-changing experience.”
– Hayley P.

“With all of my health issues, I never would have believed I could ever learn to teach yoga. WYC’s Real Yoga for Real Bodies built my confidence as a leader, reminding me that my journey is my strength, and I will actually be a better teacher because of the challenges I’ve experienced. Thank you so much for creating a program that encouraged us to bring the beauty and the beast through this incredible transformation.”
– CJH

“Thank you all so much for offering this. It has truly been a gift in my life and I am very grateful to be part of this class!”

“I haven’t felt this good since I got my puppy, ten years ago!…”
– Steve S.
-
“What has set the program apart for me, as well, is the approach to teaching that encourages us not to focus on a “perfect” pose, but rather perfecting a pose within our bodies and the bodies of our students. This means everyone’s expression of a pose will be slightly different, and there is such beauty in that. It runs counter to so much that we are taught elsewhere in life.”
– Kristen, B
-
“My experience during my YTT at WYC has not only increased my confidence on the mat but has opened up endless possibilities and opportunities for a courageous, confident, and grateful life off the mat. “
– Teresa F.
-
“Amber, you’re an incredible teacher! You are a natural at creating flows that challenge and inspire your students.”
– Michelle G.C.
-
“After my first private session with Amber my body felt so good! Because of her guidance and personal assisting I highly recommend working with her.”
– Barbara B.
