About Renew and Restore Yoga
Purpose
My goal is to provide small group and private yoga sessions that teach people to connect with their mind, body and soul. Once you learn techniques of yoga through breath practices, meditation or a sequence of postures you have a bag of tools to help you live in the present.
Meet Amy
I have a degree in elementary education and became a registered yoga instructor 5 years ago. I taught yoga at Dixie State University for 2 years and currently teach at a couple of local locations. I experienced trauma as a child for which I received *EMDR treatments and found it quite helpful. When I coupled my therapeutic treatment with yoga I discovered full body, mind and soul healing. For 24 years I've dealt with the chronic effects of Crohn's disease. Along with a mindful diet, the benefits of routinely practicing yoga improve my health daily. My desire is to share what I've learned to help others.
A unique yoga experience
I am certified to teach a variety of yoga methods such as restorative, vinyasa, meditation, breath practices, chakra based sequences, trauma sensitive and restorative partner yoga (RPY). I teach small group courses or private sessions. My practice is located in the office of Healing Crossroads Therapy with Tenille Jensen LMFT. Our objective is to provide the option of combining yoga with therapy for holistic healing.

Yoga Options
Restorative Partner Yoga
Restorative Partner Yoga (RPY) is practiced between two people. As the giver in the session, I move you (the receiver) through a series of yoga sequences with hands on adjustments. This modality of yoga helps you restore balance within your body and leaves you feeling incredibly peaceful. Sections of RPY can be integrated in any yoga practice to aid the receiver in obtaining postures.
Yoga
In a private yoga session you are able to choose what style you prefer to practice. I offer vinyasa - breath synchronized movement known as a flow. Restorative - a relaxing practice using props to renew your body. Chakra based sequences - postures that focus on specific chakras. Meditation techniques and several styles of breath practices.
Trauma Sensitive Yoga
Trauma Sensitive Yoga (TSY) is an adaptive practice with a physical focus. The key elements are breath, movement and awareness. Focusing on the physical sensation and breath grounds awareness in the present. The ability to accept the present moment provides the opportunity to become 'unstuck'.
