Welcome to You Are Me Yoga. I’m Amy Lenane, and I am a 500hr Certified Yoga Teacher and a NASM Certified Personal Trainer.

My love for movement began in the early 2000s when I took my first yoga class. What began as a practice focused on squeezing in as many arm balances as possible, slowly it morphed into something much more. I no longer have the strong desire to stand on my head or hands (though that can be fun), my focus has shifted to creating a body that will move through this life with ease and strength, and helping others do the same.

Through many years of practice, teaching, and training, I now understand to move well we should practice different disciplines and move our bodies in many ways. Although I still practice yoga, I also swim, walk, ski, and strength train.

As a teacher, I aim to empower people to explore their bodies with curiosity and self-compassion. Everyone is unique, therefore, I place function over form and esthetics. I encourage people to listen to their bodies and honor themselves by adjusting shapes, movements, and weight to better suit their individual needs.

Creating weighted strength flows that are unique, filled with layered, multiplanar movements, and focused on core strength is my passion. Our bodies and brains thrive on a cellular level when challenged with novel movements, followed by the opportunity to learn and master them through repetition.
