A little about me...

Amy Gwaltney Matson
I used meditation techniques as a child, without realizing what I was doing, to cope with severe ear/nose/throat issues. As an adult, my yoga practice began as a way to ease the physical and emotional demands of my nursing career. It is through these experiences, I learned about the transformation power of the 8 limbs of yoga. During my training with the Barbara Brennan School of Healing, I realized that without a deep understanding of ones self, the yoga practice is often used to distract from real growth and wholeness. I believe incorporating the 8 Limbs of Yoga into every day life is an underestimated path for healing and transformation.

Training:
June, 2018, I completed a 200hr Ashtanga Vinyasa certification as well as 9 hrs Ayurvedic Massage training from Bend It Like Buddha in Portugal.
October, 2018, I participated in two trauma informed yoga certifications: Trauma Informed YTT with Purple Dot Yoga Project and Yoga for Self-Regulation and Trauma training with Hala Khouri of Off the Mat Into the World.
In 2020, I completed Breath Technique Training and Breathwork Teacher training with Breath Guidance.
June, 2024, I Graduated the Barbara Brennan School of Healing.
These trainings have brought me closer to my true self and I am passionate about helping others do the same.
​
I am dedicated to a life of learning and I truly believe joining ancient knowledge with modern science is the key to building a healthier self and in turn, a healthier community. Yoga is for anyone and everyone, if you can breathe, you can do yoga!
