Amy is the winner of Boston Magazine’s Best of Boston Award for: Best Yoga Teacher in Boston! Check out the August 2007 issue of Boston Magazine! 
Best of Boston 2007 Yoga Teacher -
Amy Leydon
A former Emmy-winning television producer, Leydon spices up traditional (but challenging) vinyasa-flow yoga with inspiring music and unexpected sequences to show aspiring yogis how to find their own path to limber inner peace. Free advice: “Remember that yoga is noncompetitive. We live in a culture that makes it hard to let go of egos, but when you’re doing precarious positions for the first time, you have to back off and go at your own pace.”

The studio itself imparts a fresh feeling of Zen. Add in the unrivaled team of

Testimonials
“I began my yoga journey in January 2003 when I walked into Amy’s Yoga Basics class at the (former) Crunch Fitness in Downtown Crossing, not knowing my a$$ from my elbow. Well, the stars must’ve been aligned that Monday night, because from the moment I stepped onto that mat in Amy’s class, I never looked back. Because of her clarity, compassion, confidence, and humor, I fell in love with the practice, and am now, almost five years later, a certified yoga teacher.
Amy has been such an inspiration to me. She’s a truly amazing teacher and on top of that, one of the coolest chicks ever.
Best of Boston, indeed…and one of the best anywhere, period.” - Jonathan Ambar
“I feel so much better after taking a Yoga class with Amy. I highly recommend her services. She is a star on the rise.” - Ed Ziskind
“Amy’s yoga/hiking weekend retreat was a great time! It was the perfect combination of relaxation, exercise and fun. Doing morning yoga at the AMC lodge while looking out the windows at the mountains was beautiful. Hiking the Crawford Notch mountains later in the day was challenging, yet rewarding. I would definitely recommend it to students of all levels!” - Janet Pye
“I have been taking Yoga with Amy for 10 months at my work. I had only taken one Yoga class before and I never went back because I thought it was not for me. After attending Amy’s class I was hooked! She really showed all of us (who were beginners) the proper ways of holding the poses. She takes the time to explain and physically move you into the correct position. After a few months of class I could actually see my improvement and craved more. I planned all of my afterwork activities around Amy’s class, because I did not want to miss it. She is a great teacher and I am lucky to have started with her.” - Melanie Chaloner
