- Certified Yoga Instructor
Biography
The decision to become a yogi wasn’t one that I consciously made but rather one that unfolded through a series of life events and well-planned timing ( thanks Universe). Cliche as it may be, my practice began as a means to escape, and an attempt to mend, a very broken heart. While I have come to discover that yoga is much more than poses placed skillfully on a mat, it was this physical practice that gave me refuge. At a time in my life when nothing seemed to make sense, yoga did.
The initial step into my first YTT was one fuelled by a longing for something more. I am forever grateful to Rob Walker at the Alberta Yoga College for instilling a sense of curiosity in me and for allowing me to explore the transition from a student to both a student and teacher of yoga. Since graduating from the College I have been incredibly blessed to mentor daily under the gaze of my most cherished yoga teacher Tamara Terry.
Presently, I am completing my 300 RYT with Kate Mak at the Mynah school of yoga. In my classes, I aim to weave the physical practice with music, laughter, mindfulness, and most importantly, love. I will challenge you to move through the asana practice skillfully and ask that you trust yourself enough to move from a place of intention rather than one of habit. From one yogi to another, I would be honored and delighted to share my practice with you.

Biography
Amy is a local Parkhill resident and yoga instructor. She has been practicing yoga for over fifteen years and was grateful to deepen her practice as a student of Rob Walker at the Alberta Yoga College teacher training program.
Her classes adopt a flowing vinyasa style with elements of breathwork and the occasional deeper, longer hold. Amy is passionate about movement, proprioception and breath, and their relationship to brain plasticity and adaptation.
Yoga makes us feel good and there are endless reasons why this is true; Amy loves to explore and express this mind/body/breath connection through her practice of teaching.
