She began her yoga asana practice over 17 years ago, but feels her philosophical exploration has been with her since she was a young girl. It was in college where she developed a deeper passion and commitment to study, and notably found mindfulness and meditation, along with many styles of physical movement.

Influenced mightily by her science background, Amie is drawn to exploring the link between the physical and mental aspects of the practice. In 2013, she completed a 200hr RYT training program in Pittsburgh and in May 2018, she completed a 500hr RYT training program in D.C.

As a hands on and anatomically attentive instructor, she provides extra good feels and guidance on alignment, all while trying to take her students just a little deeper in their practice.
