Amy is proud to have built and run a thriving community in NYC for a decade (passing the reigns in 2021). And has initiated and fostered similar communities in Johannesburg and Cape Town, South Africa as well as Miami, Florida and Charleston, South Carolina.

b) partner/collaborate with other instructors as well as yoga studios, restaurants, bars, stores etc to offer public experiences such as workshops, social and dating events, retreats.
