Namaste, I’m Amy

 ............................................................

I fell in love with yoga as a way to introduce calm and contentment into my life after leading an active youth as a nationally ranked figure skater, repeat marathon runner, and successful professional in corporate construction management. Since 1995, I have been deepening my own practice of self-discovery through the principles of yoga: Asana (gentle movement), Pranayama (breath control), and Nidra (guided meditation). As I mastered this fine study of movement in my own journey, I began to feel passionate about guiding others in the healing power of yoga to benefit their bodies and minds on and off the mat. 

"Off the mat," you can find me exploring the great outdoors, running & skiing along scenic trails or gliding across ice rinks. If you catch me out & about you might even find me sporting a Hello Kitty accessory or two.

In 2007, I received my 500 hour Registered Yoga Teacher Certification and started a business called, ENLIVENhere. As I collaborated with my clients to adapt the tools of yoga to meet their health goals, I began to recognize a gap between yoga and healthcare. Often my clients had acute health needs that I intuited could be addressed through the art of yoga. So, I pursued and completed my Yoga Therapist Certification in 2013 accredited by the International Association of Yoga Therapists, allowing me to bridge ancient yoga practice with contemporary healthcare modalities such as physical therapy, chiropractic practice, and sports medicine. Most recently, I decided to deepen my understanding and meditation education with leaders in the industry and was proudly presented as a Certified Mindfulness Meditation Teacher in 2022.
