Amy Waylett

I have always been very active, athletic, and physically fit.  I took to yoga about 5 years ago, initially to learn more about yoga and gain some physical benefits.  I discovered a love for yoga, the practice, and benefits that come with it, that I became certified in 2022.  I completed a RYT 200-hour at Studio 4 Hot Yoga and Pilates in Schenectady, NY.  I began teaching right away, focusing on building strength and increasing flexibility with Vinyasa Yoga.  ​I opened Shapes of Yoga, LLC in April 2023. There was an opportunity to share yoga with the community and I took a chance!  I obtained my NASM-CPT in April of 2024 and in September of 2024, I will be taking a Mat Pilates course.

I have always been an advocate of a healthy lifestyle – promoting physical activity, mental health, and proper nutrition – as I manage the daily demands of living with Type 1 Diabetes.

Outside of my love of fitness, I have a MS in Healthcare Administration and work as a Project Manager for Radiology IT.  I live with my husband and 2 very active sons.  I love being outside, feeling the sunshine on my soul, and maintaining an active lifestyle.
