Hi, I'm Amy

founder of A&Z Yoga + Wellness
A little about me:
I began my career in early childhood education, specializing in imaginative play and creative movement. Years later (after a detour through the world of corporate graphic design) I was able to combine my love of yoga and education by training as kids yoga teacher with a focus on yoga + mindfulness in education.
In addition to teaching, I helped developed the EVOLvED Heart Centered-Mindful Education Teacher Training. This 8-hour Yoga Alliance approved training is designed for educators and yoga professionals who want to share yoga + mindfulness in classroom settings. I'm is thrilled to be able to share techniques and tools with educators & students that help cultivate a positive & healthy school environment.
I know through training, experience, and practice that these techniques help manage stress and reduce anxiety for students and teachers, and promote empathy and tolerance towards others (and ourselves.)
During treatment for breast cancer I became increasingly interested in complementary healing modalities such as Reiki and meditation, and subsequently completed trainings in energy and natural healing techniques. I love finding new ways to weave and intertwine different techniques in interesting and effective ways.

I firmly believe in collaboration, not competition, and that there is room for many different types of teachers to work together, alongside, and near each other. I've had the pleasure of working with many wonderful preschools, families, and professional organizations locally and globally, including Yoga Home, Water & Rock Studio, and Next Generation Yoga. I look forward to adding you to list!
