with Amey Amey Matthews has been practicing yoga
since 1994; she received her first teaching certificate from the White Lotus
Foundation in 1999. She currently studies primarily Iyengar Yoga with Kofi Busia. Amey says, “In teaching yoga, it is my
goal to impart to my students a sense of enthusiasm, curiosity, and acceptance
towards their practice. I try to share the elements of yoga which have most held
my attention, and which have helped me to feel increasingly optimistic about
myself, others, and the world at large with each year that I practice yoga.” What to Expect: Classes generally include yogic
philosophy, breath exercises, flowing sun salutations, and static postures held
for strength and flexibility. Students new to yoga are always welcome and will
not be encouraged to push past their limits. Cost: $10 per session For more information about Amey, go to www.yogawithamey.com
