Amy Garratt, ERYT 500 is a teacher trainer and an international seminar presenter.  She and her colleague, Julie Byrd, are co-founders of Balance Your Body Yoga. 

Amy began teaching yoga in the 90’s, drawing on a teaching background of pilates, fitness, dance and athletics. In her search to become a better instructor, she increased her studies in anatomy and nutrition. Her deeper understanding of muscular imbalances created the strategies to adapt poses for any student regardless of their starting point. With her concentration on the union of the science of the human body and the science of yoga, and the collaboration with her colleague Julie Byrd, Balance Your Body Yoga was developed.

Having studied different yoga styles, fitness programs and healing techniques, Amy centers on balancing muscle structures, and guiding each student to incorporate yoga as a method in their search for health and well-being.

Amy’s intention is to make yoga possible for everyone from the recuperative level to the elite athlete.  She teaches yoga from an intuitive and highly developed understanding and respect of the complexities of the human body. With Amy's compassionate guidance and enthusiasm, students learn to adapt poses and exercises to achieve their goals from a safe, intelligent and well-laid foundation.  Through creativity, imagination and inspiration, she teaches to honor the wisdom of the body and work according to its limits and strengths..
