Amy teaches Yin Yoga on a Tuesday night once every other month, which will be added to the calendar when available. Yin Yoga is a floor based style of yoga which targets the deep muscle tissue called fascia and includes references to Traditional Chinese Medicine and the Five Element Theory.
Amy is also available for children's yoga and chair yoga.
