amy baldacci

After her first savasana in 2013, Amy fell hard and fast in love with the practice of yoga and began teaching it the very next year. Since then, she has taught thousands of hours in group classes, workshops, private lessons, and more, and she has over 600 training hours for teacher development. Amy's main focus in any classroom is to hold a space where practitioners can feel free and safe to explore and develop their practice in whatever way is best for them. You can expect to laugh a bit and sweat a lot in her Flow classes, find some meditative chill time in her Yin and Restore classes, and just maybe find a deeper connection with your Self and the world around you in any class you take with her.

TOM BEN-KIKI

Yoga was "hard work" but also so healing. The combination of Acupuncture and Yoga gave her the tools to change her life’s perspective, experiences and gave the power to “control” her life and self-healing. This put her on the journey of deep exploration of Yoga, Acupuncture, Integrative Therapy and the Subtle Body Energies. Tom is honored to be able to help and share this practices with others and is a student and practitioner of the Hatha yoga, Meridian Pathways Therapy (TCM based), and the Mahayana-Vajra Buddhism.
