What is the name of your name and the name of your business?

Hi, Im Amy Bishop of Yoga Life With Amy, LLC

Why did you open Yoga Life With Amy?

I was informed of a medical issue and told to reduce my stress. My husband and I decided it was best if I left the corporate interior design world. I found yoga as I was looking for a form of movement my doctor’s allowed. The benefits I received from yoga were many and I decided that I wanted to teach and give that gift to others. Therefore, I went through training and graduated in May of 2020. I enjoy bringing the gift of movement/mobility, flexibility and balance to others and hearing how my students are enjoying their life!

What services do you offer to the community?

I'm passionate about assisting others in aging gracefully through movement and energy work. My offerings include mobile private one-on-one and small group sessions where I can come directly to your home, workplace, or wherever you might be. I also teach techniques for self-massage using Tune Up® balls to help release fascia and enhance mobility. Additionally, I provide reiki attunements, meditation sessions, Yoga Nidra, Restorative Yoga, and various workshops. I'm also available for public speaking engagements to share the benefits of these practices.

What’s your favorite part of your job?

My students would be my favorite part. Witnessing my students transform and helping them live their lives more fully is such an honor and privilege to be a part of.

What’s your favorite service?

I truly enjoy private sessions because they allow me to tailor each session to the specific needs of individuals or small groups, whether it involves various forms of yoga, self-massage, or a combination of services. However, I'm also passionate about expanding my public speaking opportunities. Sharing my knowledge and experience in a public setting lets me reach and benefit a wider audience, helping more people embrace a healthier lifestyle through movement and mindfulness. This blend of personal customization and broader outreach is what I love most about my work.

What makes your business unique?

What sets my business apart is our deep commitment to personalized wellness. We understand that each body is unique, so we emphasize proper alignment and encourage clients to tune into how each pose feels in their body. This approach recognizes that the body has an inherent ability to move and heal itself. By closely collaborating with our clients, we can better understand how their bodies respond to different practices, allowing us to tailor our sessions to maximize benefits. This focus on individualized care and responsiveness to each person's physical needs and responses is what truly makes us stand out.
