Amy first came to yoga as a way to relieve stress and cultivate a fitness practice rooted in intentional movement. Over time, yoga became much more than a physical practice—it became a path of self-discovery, mindfulness, and deeper connection to her mind, body, and heart. Her exploration of yoga naturally expanded into a passion for yoga philosophy and Buddhist teachings, which continue to inspire both her personal practice and approach to teaching.
With Amy, the vibes are always immaculate. Her mindful, calm, and gentle presence creates a welcoming space where students can explore their own practice with curiosity and compassion. Her classes emphasize mindful self-inquiry, encouraging students to deepen their connection to themselves while building awareness, resilience, and trust in their own bodies, minds, and hearts.
Amy is the co-owner of Soma Studio. She completed her 500-hour yoga teacher training through Fluid Yoga School and is currently completing her 100-hour Mat Pilates Certification and Level 1 Thai Yoga Practitioner Certification, reflecting her commitment to lifelong learning and holistic wellness.
When she isn't on the mat, Amy enjoys reading, hiking, traveling, exploring Buddhist philosophy, and spending quality time with her partner, family, friends, dog, and cat.
