​Sweet Life Yoga Founder Amy Dixon (E-RYT 200, YACEP, Ayurvedic Yoga Specialist)
In 1992, I was a sophomore in college and I found yoga.   I loved the freedom and strength I felt in the physical movement of each pose and, with continued practice, yoga became a source of great physical, mental and emotional support and growth for me. After working in the corporate world and having my four children, I began teaching vinyasa influenced classes out of my home to some fellow mother friends.  In 2009, I received training with YogaFit and ultimately completed a 200-hour teacher training with Aura Wellness Center in 2011.  A couple years later, my love of the natural world and cooking led me to pursue an herbal medicine apprenticeship through Sky House Yoga.  In 2021, I graduated from Kathryn Templeton's Ayurvedic Yoga Specialist program--a huge dream finally come true.   My yoga journey includes Prana Flow, kundalini, restorative yoga, ParaYoga nidra, and meditation.  I am honored and humbled to have studied with the brilliant and kind Ashley Litecky Elenbaas, Hannah Leatherbury and Kathryn Templeton.  My goal is to help each person find their unique strength and purest expression in their lives.  I'm so thankful to all of my teachers and wellness colleagues.  To my dear and patient husband, four children, friends and students,  thank you for your precious guidance and inspiration.  Each day, I try to apply the wonderful lessons of yoga and to see the goodness and possibility in each moment.  I look forward to knowing you.
