About Amy

I’m Amy Menconi. While studying Community Health and Wellness, I was introduced to the art of Yoga. My journey began with taking classes in Costa Rica. Recently, I traveled to Spain where I continued my education with International Frog Lotus Yoga. My style of teaching is rooted in the breath-based Vinyasa Flow and draws on other types of Yoga; including Ashtanga, Hatha, Kundalini, Forest Yoga, Restorative Yoga, and Yin. I encourage my Yoga practitioners to move at their own pace and work slowly toward more challenging poses. When I am not teaching or on my mat, you can find me cooking vegetarian meals, walking my beagle, riding my bike, hiking or delving into anatomy or a Yoga philosophy book. I enjoy traveling, and exploring the beautiful sites on earth to learn about local cultures. My weekly lessons accommodate all levels of ability and age groups. I work with athletes looking to balance their workout; such as golfers who require increased focus and flexibility
