  • I’ve “re-discovered” yoga

    “Amy Wolfe’s on-line classes have revolutionized my yoga practice over the past year. Poses that I’d struggled with have become more accessible thanks to her efforts to bring mobility and build strength in key areas (such as outer hips, shoulders, and ankles but also my “core” through her Pilates classes). In my "home studio”, under Amy’s guidance, I use my walls, chairs, bolsters, and other equipment in ways that we rarely could in the studio setting to safely work into advanced poses such as handstands, shoulderstands, and headstands. The results have been deeply satisfying; I feel I’ve “re-discovered” yoga during the pandemic thanks to Amy’s thoughtful and fun classes.”

  • i love the focus that amy pays toward alignment and balance

    “Amy is uniquely talented in her ability to assess each individual’s needs. I love the focus that Amy pays towards alignment and balance in her classes. She incorporates a wide range of movements that keeps each class interesting. Amy provides modifications and feedback throughout her virtual classes which reassures me I’m doing each move correctly. Her cues keep me focused and present. I always get a great workout in Amy’s class that is both relaxing and challenging. She has helped my posture and overall understanding of my body.”

  • one of the best body-related teachers that I’ve ever had

    "Amy Wolfe is one of the best body-related teachers that I’ve ever had the honor of learning from. From the very first class I took from her in person back in 2018 until now, she is one to be highly regarded and trusted. I still vividly remember my first class with her, one where she explained chair pose in a complete new way: succinctly and clearly. I was blown away, and felt so glad to have found her! Amy has impeccable cueing, informed by years of experience. She is clearly dedicated to her own learning and growth. Teaching on a virtual platform, she is the only teacher I've had who always speaks to the actual students in the room — there is not one second where I don’t feel held, even through a screen! I’ve had the pleasure of taking a couple of teacher training modules on Zoom with her as well in 2020, where she adeptly discusses the business of yoga, giving me some incredible advice that helped me succeed as a teacher myself. She has always extended her guidance to me as a teacher and as a forever student in my own right and has always responded with such kindness. Although I’m afraid teachers like Amy are so rare, my hope is that everyone can find an Amy Wolfe in their life — her dedication, knowledge and drive is admirable and so needed in today’s yoga world. Thank you for so many amazing classes and your support, Amy!"

  • Amy has given me a consistent practice that provides huge benefits

    "Amy's online live classes have been my lifeline through this past year. Her classes are small, and Amy gives us a lot of individual attention. She knows our goals, interests, quirks, restrictions, and injuries day to day. She has formidable powers of observation: she can spot a slightly-off limb rotation from across a blurry Internet connection and quickly recommend adjustments. More important -- practicing with Amy has given me a consistent practice that provides huge benefits: I made more and deeper progress in my practice in just this past year than I had in the previous 7 years of sporadic, in-person, often large group practice. Amy's offerings are not just asana. Every week brings a mix of asana (very alignment-oriented), functional movement, HIIT, and Pilates for a well-rounded yet ultimately yoga-centered set of sessions. And of course, the best thing is Amy herself: caring, intelligent, knowledgeable, super-supportive, and creative. She's got her own style and approach. I can't wait to see what we do next."

  • forever grateful

    "I was practicing with Amy in person for two years before the shutdown. No better a time was it to learn she had an option to continue her practice online. Her live virtual classes make me feel like I never left the studio; yet often, my schedule doesn’t allow me to attend a live class so I am forever grateful to have access to her library of videos. I tailor my practice to the time I may have, the targeted areas I want to focus on or just pick a challenge and go for it. Her practice deepens my knowledge of poses I’ve been doing for decades, I finally feel like I’m doing them right! Amy’s practice has a unique, creative and fun approach and she is always available to guide you. The things I didn’t know I was capable of; from doing splits up a wall, hanging upside down on two chairs or a lovely classic flow; I feel like the super woman I am when I am done."

  • so taken by her skill and teaching I signed up for private sessions three times a week after the retreat

    "I had never done yoga before attending one of Amy's retreats. Despite being a complete novice and being at a retreat with advanced students, Amy helped me fit right in and not feel out of place. Her instruction was relevant to me and the more experienced people. I was so taken by her skill and teaching I signed up for private sessions three times a week after the retreat.'"

  • I am lucky to consider Amy a teacher, mentor, and friend.

    "I met Amy through a Therapeutics Teacher Training she was co-leading. Her teaching immediately resonated with me. She creatively shows multiple paths for her students to take, helping each own navigate their practice based on their own unique needs. As she offered more trainings, I immediately signed up: I wanted to continue learning from her and wanted to be in her community. Through her trainings, I've found alignment: within my body, within my yoga practice, and in my life's work. I am lucky to consider Amy a teacher, mentor, and friend."

  • A Necessary time in my week for me to connect to myself. Thank you, Amy!!

    "Amy’s meditations have brought immense calm to my work day. I have seen my energy levels rise and my stress levels lower because of it! Amy checks in at the start of a session and adapts the mediation to fit the needs of the group! She is encouraging and helps set you up to grow in your meditation practice outside of the sessions. It’s become more than a habit: these sessions are a necessary time in my week for me to connect to myself. Thank you, Amy!!"

  • super high quality

    "Amy’s on-demand library is super high quality: it's very much like being there in person. I tap the library when my personal schedule does not allow me to take live classes and can tailor the class to my needs: active, short, recovery, propless, or so much more."

  • feel like I have a new foundation on which to build my lifelong yoga practice

    "Amy is an inspirational instructor and is adept at tailoring her queues to each individual student's ability. This is a remarkable trait in any class setting. However, to perform this on the new video platforms is truly masterful. My practice has grown so much during the pandemic because of her dedication, diligence, and creativity. I feel like I have a new foundation on which to build my lifelong yoga practice."

  • Amy always brings joy and wisdom to her students

    "I love Amy's workshops! Her teaching meets students where they are—she's clear and non-intimidating. Every class I take deepens my own practice and her workshops are like an ultraboost. Whether she's giving guidance on creative prop usage to access an asana in a new way or sharing stories in her teaching of the yamas and niyamas, Amy always brings joy and wisdom to her students."

  • gained strategies to cope with my anxiety around work, pregnancy, and labor.

    "Through Amy's individualized teaching, her nuanced understanding of the body, and her thoughtful advice, I gained strategies to cope with my anxiety around work, pregnancy, and labor. She helped me reframe thinking patterns, release the physical tension I stored in my neck and shoulders, and together, we came up with a step by step plan that powered me through my anxiety and fear. I would not have gotten through it nearly as well without her guidance - she's amazing in everything she does :)"

  • a truly magical, glowing experience.

    "My Well By Wolfe retreat was a truly magical, glowing experience. Amy took care of every detail, which left me nothing but space to relax, explore, and grow. Amy knows how to teach any level of student, and she gave personalized, deeply caring attention to all both in and out of class -- whatever came up and wherever we were on our individual journeys. The uniquely wonderful locale featured awe-inspiring, healing nature, and if you know Amy at all, it's no surprise that the food was amazing. Finally, the people -- there's really nothing like practicing and just being with a group who are all there for the same reason, and Amy attracts a fascinating, delightful, and supportive set of humans!"

  • amy's retreats have really allowed me to disconnect and come home feeling very recharged

    "I have attended two of Amy's retreats and have had an amazing experience on both! She cultivates a warm and inviting group atmosphere with a great mix of yoga, planned activities, down time and delicious food :). Amy has a great way of adapting her teaching style to the bodies in the room and makes recommendations and adjustments to each individual she is teaching. With the use of props and hands on support she gives me confidence to try poses that I wouldn't feel comfortable otherwise. One of my favorite parts of the retreats is the family style meals which really allow everyone in the group to connect with one another. Amy's retreats have really allowed me to disconnect and come home feeling very recharged. I hope to attend many more in the future!"
