First Filipina AYRI-authorized Teacher
Amy Santos began practicing yoga as a college student in the late 1980s. In 2003, she was authorized by Sri K. Pattabhi Jois to teach the Ashtanga Yoga method. In 2009, Amy was invited to participate in the first authorized teacher training of the KPJAYI in Mysore, India, and now holds authorization level 2 status. She has also received teaching certification from the Sivananda and Laughing Lotus Yoga Centers, and studies in New York with Eddie Stern. In addition to ashtanga, she enjoys teaching yoga to NYC public school children through Bent on Learning.
Amy is grateful to her Guru, Mata Amritanandamayi, for opening her heart and gracing her with the opportunity to serve others.
Amy hold both a BS and MA from New York University, but still considers herself a student of life. In addition to teaching and practicing, she is a professional dancer. She lives in Brooklyn with her husband Steve, their dog Shanti, and their cat Geetha.
Amy offers her knowledge of Ashtanga in the spirit of Guruji's teachings, and hopes that all her students experience the joy, wellness, and blessings that she herself has received from a steadfast faith in this divine practice.
