Our Story & Philosophy

After completing her MFA in Acting at The New School in 2014, Amy was introduced to yoga through a Groupon class with Austin Sanderson at what was then Jivamukti Jersey City. What began as a single class soon became a dedicated practice, and in 2019 she enrolled in the 200-hour Yoga Teacher Training at Asana Soul Practice, completing her certification virtually during the pandemic in 2020.

In 2021, Amy began a 500-hour mentorship with Austin Sanderson as he developed the Urban Sadhu Yoga Method. During this training, she discovered a passion for hands-on assists, which have since become one of the hallmarks of her teaching.

In early 2026, Amy earned her 850-hour Yoga Therapist Certification through the Prema Yoga Institute. Her studies deepened her appreciation for yoga nidra, pranayama, chanting, sound healing modalities, yin, and restorative yoga. She especially enjoys sharing these practices with seniors, individuals recovering from injuries, and those in recovery from substance use.

Amy’s classes combine thoughtful alignment, therapeutic awareness, and compassionate guidance, helping students build strength, confidence, and a deeper relationship with their practice.
