Amy Perri

• Amy began practicing yoga while she was pregnant with her first son in 1996.  The transformational quality, along with yoga’s ability to cultivate self-acceptance, gratitude and compassion, led Amy down the path of teaching so that she could share the amazing life-changing qualities with others.  After completing her 200 Hour Teacher Training with Into This World Yoga Productions on Long Island in 2007, she became eager to expand her knowledge. Combining her love of vinyasa yoga with a strong desire to dive deeper into yoga’s spiritual teachings, she was drawn to continue her studies with Rolf Gates, (Master Yoga Teacher and acclaimed Author of “Meditations from the Mat”).  Amy completed Rolf’s 500 Hour  Vinyasa Yoga Teacher Training in 2010 from which she graduated  as a Yoga Alliance Certified 500 Hour ERYT.  As an avid swimmer and exercise enthusiast, Amy is also a Certified Aqua Instructor teaching Aqua Yoga Classes in local pools and private residences for the last 3 years.
