Amy McChesney, Certified Kid's Yoga Instructor and/or SOT (Fall 2020)
After earning a liberal arts degree from Scripps College, Amy moved to Los Angeles to pursue an acting career. To help make ends meet, she began teaching fitness classes only to discover teaching fulfilled her more than acting. This led her to Boulder, CO where she completed The Pilates Center’s 950-hour Advanced Teacher Training Certification program in 2017. While teaching Pilates, Amy began shadowing rehabilitation therapists, volunteering at clinics-including KidSPOT’s yoga program and ultimately, through these experiences, found her calling in Occupational Therapy (thank you KidSPOT). That said, Amy is excited to begin pursuing her Doctorate in Occupational Therapy this fall. Amy has been teaching kid’s yoga at KidSPOT since becoming a certified instructor in 2019. Dedicated to creating accessible yoga classes, she utilizes imaginative play to support every child’s unique abilities for participation. In her spare time, Amy enjoys theater, hiking through beautiful Colorado and eating Thai food whenever possible. |
