About the Instructor

Amy Bowman, E-RYT 200

Amy Bowman is an E-RYT 200 yoga instructor with over 1,000 hours of studio teaching experience and a personal practice that began in 2006. Known for her grounded, approachable teaching style, Amy creates classes where students feel supported, informed, and at ease in their bodies.

Her recent continuing education has focused on yoga for the female anatomy. While traditional yoga was largely developed around the male body, emerging research highlights alignment variations and cueing that better support women’s bodies. Amy is passionate about sharing these options, empowering students to move in ways that feel sustainable, anatomically informed, and genuinely supportive.

Breathwork is at the heart of Amy’s teaching. She believes the breath is the true foundation of yoga—often reminding students that if you’re sitting on your mat and breathing, you’re already doing yoga.

Outside the studio, Amy works full-time, is a mom, a devoted dog lover, and an enthusiastic explorer of the outdoors.

Sign up soon, space is limited, designed for adult students 18 and over. The Class meets from March 3 – 31st on Tuesday evenings in Gaylord. Cost: $70.
