Open Heart Yoga NJ

This Fourth of July, I celebrate my 60th birthday.

When I was 29, I found yoga.
It carried me through my 30s…
Grounded me through my 40s…
And 10 years ago, it inspired me to found Open Heart Yoga, a nonprofit built on the belief that when one person pays for yoga, someone else who couldn’t otherwise afford or may need greater access to it, it can practice, too.

As I step into my 60s, I realize yoga has given me so much more than strength or flexibility.

It taught me to pause before reacting.
To stay present instead of worrying.
To bend without breaking.
To breathe through uncertainty.
To trust that growth often happens in the uncomfortable moments.

It introduced me to lifelong friendships.
It taught me that energy is contagious—and that the energy we bring into a room matters.
It reminded me that kindness is strength, service is purpose, and an open heart can enrich lives…including our own.

This milestone isn’t about getting older.
It’s about becoming more grateful.

Sixty years. Countless lessons. Endless gratitude.

(And yes…60 cartwheels later, I’m still flipping with joy (ohy story)

Some teachers have a way of making you feel grounded the moment you walk into the room, and Amy is one of them.

Her classes are an invitation to slow down, breathe deeply, and meet yourself exactly where you are. With thoughtful guidance and a calming presence, she creates space for both challenge and ease—helping you build strength, find balance, and leave feeling more connected than when you arrived.
