During the pandemic, a friend and yoga student of Amy’s was diagnosed with stage 4 cervical cancer. Amy worked with her one-on-one as she progressed through her treatments. They began with meditation, breath work, yoga nidra, and restorative yoga, focusing on helping her de-stress and find some sense of calm. Now, she is cancer-free and back to practicing yoga classes, as well as fitness classes! The work that Amy and her friend did together helped her survive the trauma of her experience.
Amy encourages her students to deepen their own connection to what Yoga means to them, to become connected to the practice of Yoga both on and off of the mat, and to remember that the practice of Yoga is multilayered and multifaceted; Once a student of Yoga, always a student of Yoga.
“I am so excited to be meeting and working with so many new faces from your community! It is a pleasure to share the benefits of yoga, meditation, and mobility with such an awesome group of people! I look forward to getting back out on the gym floor myself.”
