Amy Viara began her study of yoga in 1999 and now, yoga is a central focus of her life. She fosters an environment where students can work with their individual circumstances, exploring awareness and compassion. She approaches her teaching with acceptance and humor.

Strongly influenced by her studies with K. Pattabhi Jois, Richard Freeman, and David Swenson, Amy’s classes reflect her study in the Ashtanga, Vinyasa, Iyengar and Kripalu traditions.

Amy holds a B.A. in English and is currently working on her M.Ed. When not teaching yoga, Amy is teaching high school English or enjoying the woods with her husband Matt and their dogs, Bella and Rory.
