My name is Amy Harper. I am a certified yoga therapist, meditation/mindfulness teacher, and transformational coach who is constantly striving toward balance – both on and off the mat.
I’m a self-study junkie. I am mostly interested in how to use yogic tools to make my own life and the lives of my students better. This applies to different layers of the human system: physical, psychological, and spiritual. I don’t practice yoga for the sake of practicing, nor do I care about mastering complicated routines. To me yoga and coaching is about facilitating change that translates into living a balanced, joyful and more fulfilling life.The ultimate goal of yoga is to move towards freedom in our minds and bodies.
I was struggling with the question "why we are who we are?" and "If we are not satisfied with who we are and how are lives are unfolding, what can we do about it?" The path of yoga and meditation led me to look for the answers to these questions within myself. Yoga teaches us that our minds are aspects of the infinite, eternal, creative consciousness of the universe, and gives us the tools to remove the illusions and confused ideas that prevent us from realizing this sacred truth. There is no greater treasure than knowing ourselves, and no greater gift than to learn the techniques that will enable us to do this.
I feel grateful and excited to pass on some of these incredible practices that I have learned over the years: knowledge of movement, energy, and healing the body, persistent interest in spiritual development and the ability to break complex ideas down into manageable pieces. Even though I've had my fair share of physically demanding pursuits (mountain biking, running, rock climbing) I have always been interested in the therapeutic aspect of yoga, in its ability to heal broken bodies and wounded souls. That’s why over the years I've moved away from teaching large yoga classes to working with students one-on-one and in small groups.
When we work together you will get powerful tools to understand what is stopping you from reaching your fullest potential, and how to prevent the loss of mental, emotional, and intellectual energy, to negative situations and unhealthy interactions with others. You will learn how to develop your inner sources of creativity and personal power, letting go of patterns that are holding you back. You will develop skills to listen to the body and use the body as a messenger to heal yourself. I meet you where you are and bring in tools that are appropriate for you.
While on this path of self-awareness, what could possibly matter more than connecting with what makes you happy? What makes you feel alive? What brings you joy? Living in balance and purity is the highest good for you and our Earth.

Wanting to reform the world without discovering one's true self is like trying to cover the world with leather to avoid the pain of walking on stones and thorns. It is much simpler to wear shoes.
