Amy had arthritis when she stepped into a Bikram Yoga studio for the first time in the Fall of 2004. Regular gym exercises were too hard on her joints and she needed a low-impact venue to keep her joints healthy as well as burn any excess calories to maintain a healthy weight. Classes for the first 8 months were definitely challenging, but after each month she noticed improvements - mentally and physically.
After seeing the improvements in her own condition, Amy wanted to help people improve their minds and bodies by being able to teach Bikram Yoga. Amy completed her Bikram Yoga teacher's certification training in Fall 2006 in Los Angeles. Now she enjoys being able to share the Bikram Yoga experience, beginners and experienced practioners alike.
"A heathly mind and body isn't achieved by being complacent. One has to give his or her 100% in each class to reap the benefits of the yoga. Otherwise, they're just cheating themselves."
