Amy began her yoga practice 13 years ago and found it to be an integral part of creating balance and reducing stress in the midst of a hectic corporate career. Her practice has grown over the years from a strong physical practice to a more inward focused practice infused with awareness, kindness, and authenticity. Amy graduated from the 500-hour Starseed Yoga Teacher Training in 2004, and very soon became a regular teacher on the schedule and mentor in the training program. She also holds a certificate in kid's yoga from Neney's Yoginis (Jeannene Levinson). With deep gratitude to her teachers Jyoti Chrystal and Madelana Ferrara-Matthias for the path and practice, Amy is committed to giving her students confidence and skill. Her belief is that yoga is available to everyone no matter what limitations exist. Regardless of what level class she teaches, she works to create a safe and sacred space where her students are gently encouraged to accept their own grace and light . Having studied with many teachers and traditions (Vinyasa, Anusara, Restorative, and Viniyoga) her classes are an eclectic mix and compassionate exploration of style and tradition balancing pranayama, asana, and meditation.
