Hi! I'm Amy, owner and founder of Willow Lane Yoga & Wellness. If you would have asked me if I planned to be a yoga teacher I would have laughed in disbelief. My yoga journey started as a search for healing in my body to deal with my autoimmune diseases and as a way to combat the mental and emotional stresses from my regular job. I was dealing with a major flare and physically could not work out the way I had in the past. It was scary to step away from the traditional workout methods that I so deeply loved. As I began my search, Christ-Centered yoga entered my life.

In addition to faith-based yoga, health coaching is something that I am also passionate about. Desiring to find relief from feeling unhealthy when I was doing everything I could to eat healthy left me feeling "down in the dumps" and searching for answers. This led me to my studies and certification with the Institute for Integrative Nutrition in New York. What I quickly learned is that there is no one size fits all approach. Our bodies are unique, just as God designed to be original. Bio-individuality is the heart of health coaching.

My faith is central to who I am and has carried me through many joys and challenges through my life. Finding faith based yoga was the tool that allowed me to find healing on so many different levels. The further I continued into my instructor training, the more I felt the Lord nudging me to share this modality of faith and fitness with others. Living with Celiac Disease, thyroid disease, Adrenal Fatigue and inflammation led me to finding ways to nourish my body from the inside out instead of just treating the symptoms. ​

Whether you are coming to class to find peace on your mat or get a "workout," or have someone come alongside you in your health journey, know that you are loved.
