Traveling through darkness into enlightenment....
Amy P. RYT (she/her) is an Austin,Texas based registered yoga instructor. She started practicing yoga when she was 18 years old living in Houston,TX. Her journey really began in Austin, TX in the early 2000's at Eastside Yoga owned by her beloved teacher trainer Steven Ross. She went to classes daily at the studio and quickly became immersed in the practice and community. The studio opened teacher training courses under the name Sacred Roots Yoga School. She graduated from yoga school in 2014 and began her teaching career immediately.

​

"The need for an alternative yoga in Austin ran deep. I had 50 participants in my first class. I asked my friends why they don't do yoga. Their responses led me to create an alternative fitness experience. I wish everyone would practice yoga. The benefits are countless from focus to flexibility and the bonus of gaining community. I combined my love of yoga, lighting, heavy alternative music, and people to bring you this class. Expect to laugh, roar, move with the breath, explore and restore your body in a dimly lit room with a dark soundtrack at my class."
