Amy passionately believes that yoga is a tool for empowerment and healing that is beneficial to all and should be accessible to all. Yoga can help each one of us navigate a path through our tumultuous world, creating an attitude of compassion and strength within each practitioner. Yoga not only restores and maintains the physical body, but allows us to grow mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. Yoga can help us meet our greatest challenges in life with awareness and grace.
Amy has taught group and private yoga classes since 2004, with a continuous focus on a breath-centered, heart-centered practice of personal transformation. Amy teaches yoga in a highly adaptable and responsive way, recognizing that the relationship between teacher and student, or therapist and client, is a partnership. She draws on her extensive training in yoga, yoga therapy, anatomy, and yoga philosophy to offer an experience of healing that fits each unique client. Amy is currently completing certification in Integrated Movement Therapy, a yoga-based therapeutic modality that can benefit individuals of all ages who are experiencing all kinds of challenges.

After five years as a full-time yoga teacher, Amy now teaches only part-time in order to focus her energy on her young family. Amy's primary work, and primary joy, is being a mom to her exceptional son, Archer.
