Amy M. - Co-Owner / Instructor

My yoga journey began in 2014.  I had a coworker invite me to my first hot yoga class ever.  It is safe to say that I did not enjoy it at all!  I was not in a place where I was able to let my ego go.  I watched everyone around me.  They were beautiful as they moved, and I was barely breathing.  I was older, out of shape, and so focused on everyone around me, I missed the entire point of what it meant to be on my yoga mat.  I thought I would never come back, but I decided I needed it.  It took me a while to return but in 2015, I made my way back to my mat.

Yoga has allowed me the time I need for me.  I turn to my mat anytime I need to destress, focus, or just breathe.  Every teacher along the way has led me to a different experience in which I can better myself.  I take their words and cues to heart, adapting them to my needs.  I make yoga about me and my breath.  It is the one time I can truly be selfish.  My journey as a teacher is no different.  I use my words to guide others but love the energy the yogis around me create.  I learn from their patience with themselves.  I feed off the love they show for themselves.  Each day I find myself stronger because of the people I surround myself with.
