    • Amy began her yoga journey in 2009 after the birth of her second child.  She was drawn to the physical practice of hot yoga to lose weight and feel better in her own skin, but quickly found out that there's much more to yoga than just the physical practice!  As a forever student, Amy takes bits and pieces of her acquired education and incorporates them into her classes for a more in-depth class experience.  She believes that there is energy in everything and what we give power, has power.

E-RYT500, YACEP

    • I stepped into my first yoga class in March of 2014.  I had a past of injuries that caused me daily pain, so the physical component was a bit intimidating and I didn't know if I'd be up to it.  I quickly learned that with the use of blocks and modifications, yoga met me right where I was at.  After months of regular practice, my body was no longer in pain.  The mental benefits were also pronounced.  What first started off as "stress relief" slowly began to evolve into a greater sense of self-awareness and mindfulness.  It became very important that I help share this profound practice of both mind and body with others.  In 2015, I trained and began my teaching journey in Atlanta, GA. In 2018, I returned to Springfield, MO and am grateful to have continued the journey!  When I'm not on the mat, you can find me making beeswax candles, taking long walks with my four pups, or going down a UFO rabbit hole with my husband, Josh.  Whether you come to class for physical, mental, community, or other, I can't wait for our journeys to merge and to help guide one another along the way!
