What her students have to say…
 Amy is a beautiful gift in my life! Her yoga offers a powerful blend of the practical and mystical. She has developed yogic solutions to many chronic health problems, and to many of the ways we habitually get stuck in our bodies and minds. Amy's yoga keeps me grounded and healthy, like the earth under my feet. —Mary Driscoll, freelance writer and Ph.D.,
Southwest Institute for Research on Women, University of Arizona
I’ve worked with Amy’s Yogic sets for the last two years and they have literally transformed my emotional state. Amy takes me, step-by-step, through postures and breathing exercises
that straighten out my emotional tangles. Practicing Yoga has positively affected my whole world. —S.S., retired computer engineer, Cambridge, MA
Amy Weintraub's talent as a yoga instructor is surpassed only by her ability to inspire compassion and depth in each of her student's practice. —LuAnn Haley, attorney, Tucson, AZ
Suffering from depression & chronic fatigue syndrome, I've tried medications, supplements, & many forms of traditional & nontraditional therapies without beneficial
effects. While taking yoga classes with Amy at Kripalu, I noticed a definite shift in my consciousness, a reduction in stress, & an improvement in my well-being. Amy's classes have helped me to love and appreciate myself. Amy is an outstanding yoga teacher & in dealing with the fatigue & depression I experience, participation in her classes has been a real gift to my yoga practice & me. —E.
M., teacher, Lenox, MA
As a teacher of yoga, Amy Weintraub has continually reinforced my longtime belief in the strong connection of mind-body-spirit. For the past three years, I have benefited, both personally and professionally (I am a clinical social worker), from Amy's supportive and competent guidance in yoga. Because of Amy's influence, I often recommend the practice of yoga to friends and clients. —Dory
Martin, CISW, Tucson, AZ I am indebted to Amy's Yoga instruction for teaching the part of me that had trouble letting go. My wife died almost two years ago, and I am now free of grief and other destructive thought-patterns. Since practicing Yoga with Amy, my meditation practice has
gone to new dimensions. —John deCoville, systems analyst, Tucson, AZ Amy is a treasure. Through her gentle and affirming teaching style, she helped me establish a yoga practice that has become a most satisfying and grounding aspect of my life. I was surprised by the depth
of the experience and the enduring nature of the changes I enjoy through this practice. —CA, journalist, videographer, Tucson, AZ In my private sessions with Amy, I learn, expand and heal, and I leave more vivid in every way. I rely on some of the exercises she teaches, throughout
the day, to reenergize and rebalance.
—L.D., writer, Tucson, AZ My experience in Amy’s classes for the past four years has been uplifting and powerful. I have found that the techniques she shares are powerfully effective for dispelling the dark clouds of negativity and hopelessness. But more than
that, Amy brings us the ability to easily access the inner world where healing and self-understanding reside. —Cynthia Athina Kemp Scherer, author, The Alchemy of the Desert and The Art & Technique of Using Flower Essences, Tucson, AZ
