Along with 34 years of Iyengar Yoga and a therapeutic private yoga practice, Amy is deeply inspired by her somatic and bodywork studies (Feldenkrais, Body Mind Centering, Educational Movement Therapy, Massage Therapy) and explorations in Embodied Anatomy and Vipassana Meditation; she offers an integrated approach while still honoring the ancient wisdom teachings.

Bringing Yoga to life has been a thread woven through her relating, parenting and working journeys… Meditation has been her saving grace and continues to be the well from within where she sources her movement through life and work.

Practicing yoga since 1979 and teaching since 1981, Amy received her yoga Introductory Teaching Certificate from the rich community of practitioners and Senior teachers at the Iyengar Yoga Institute of San Francisco. Amy has studied with BKS Iyengar, K Pattabhi Jois, and TKV Deskachar, and specifically under the wings of Judith Hanson Lasater.

Drawing on ancient yogic teachings, meditations & non dualism, she weaves a creative, invigorating yet calming, centering yet spacious exploration of Self through Asana.
