Client Insights
Amy is extremely knowledgeable both about body physics and Yoga in practice. She constantly takes classes to improve her techniques. Being a longtime practitioner of Yoga, I find that Amy is very skilled at cuing for the different poses and guiding the class to make adjustments, as the class participants are a mix of different ages and levels. She is wonderfully proficient in the progression of flow with linked movements and breath. I always feel strengthened and refreshed after each of her class.

I’ve been taking Pilates and Barre classes for years, and it wasn’t until I started taking classes with Amy where I could really tell a difference in my workouts. She pushes me to my limits in an approachable way and I don’t feel like I need to supplement her classes with some cardio before or after.

I always look forward to Amy's remarkable classes, which are energizing and absorbing. Her voice, the music , and the pace of each class uniquely build from pose to pose integrating breathing and movement, and expressing her deep experience with a range of yoga disciplines. Amy is approachable; her classes are always playful and challenging.
