Phew! I have more than 1000 teaching hours and over 700 continuing education training hours. If you are a nerd like me, see all my training here. I started Amy Toft Yoga because I truly believe that yoga is for Everybody. Every. Body. Including those who are thinking, well, not me. It's for you!
My diverse yoga teachings reflect this motto – I do workshops, corporate, and private yoga events, including on Zoom. I've given Safe Space class for members of the LGBTQ+ community. I host pop-up yoga gatherings in unusual places. I lead classes with Twin Falls County Juvenile Probation as a volunteer. I also offer free one time sessions to church groups & book groups. I have taught at the Magic Valley Alternative High School. I find great satisfaction in teaching yoga to people recovering from drug or alcohol addiction. I also teach breathwork and meditation to yogis with health challenges or who are bedridden. I have a warm place in my heart for the yogi who doesn’t yet know he or she is a yogi. If you think you are the wrong size, shape, age, gender, fitness level, or skin tone for yoga... you aren’t!
I teach vinyasa yoga , restorative, yoga for addiction recovery, children’s, slow flow, chair, silver sneakers, family, and beginning yoga. When I’m not teaching, I am the Director of Development for the Magic Valley Symphony. I also like to get strangers to take my picture wherever I am while doing a yoga pose. My other hobbies: I like to sing, hike, knit, and read!
Thanks for stopping by – I would love to do yoga with you soon!
