“Thank you for teaching us tools to help us be calm. I use “Mountain” breath before bed. You are a great teacher!”
– Lily, 4th grade Social Emotional Learning & Resilience student
“[My children] apply their learning often in real world situations from the mundane–what were fights between siblings have turned into moments of mountain breathing–to the powerful–when they lost their grandmother, [my daughter] told me that when she became overwhelmed she would stand barefoot and focus on wiggling her toes to help her refocus on the present. They impressed their pediatrician with their knowledge of the different parts and functions of the brain, and they taught the nurse practitioner hot cocoa and balloon breath as they used both to calm down before receiving their COVID vaccine. In a time when so much of their socioemotional learning has been stunted by the unprecedented challenges of living through a pandemic, I am so grateful for the ways in which [she has] not only been able to increase their self and social awareness, self-regulation, relationship skills, and decision-making, but also for including us parents in their learning by sharing tools that, in combination with our faith, strengthen the resilience of our family.”

– Yoga Teacher
“It is evident that Amy is passionate about Yoga which, I feel, is a strength and makes her a very good teacher. Her knowledge about Yoga is also an important strength that she brings to her class. What stood out in her class was how comfortable I was. I was not worried about whether or not I was doing a pose correctly or whether or not I was going to benefit from Yoga because of modifications I might have to make. She kept reminding the class to listen to our bodies and that poses should not be painful. This helped me to relax and get the maximum experience of her Yoga class. I felt amazing after this class.”
