Amy McAndrew

Yoga Instructor

Open Doors Yoga - Dorchester

Amy’s yoga journey began over 20 years ago at Open Doors in Braintree. Her practice became even more consistent in 2009 when she became a certified ACE Personal Trainer and owner of Inside Out Fitness. The physical aspect of her practice is what she found alluring which always brought her back to her mat. She was impressed with the beautiful poses, inversions and arm balances. Yet being present, mindful and calm is what fascinated and challenged her the most. This started to shift her passion for fitness into a love and appreciation of the entire wellness of body, mind and soul. she realized without the connection of mental stillness, body awareness and proper alignment her yoga practice would never evolve and grow. This new perception led her to a new chapter of her journey into the Open Doors teacher training program in 2019. She feels that her background and knowledge as a wellness coach and body trainer allows her to help students access, connect and challenge their “true” strength both physically and mentally. By learning how to feel each movement rather than “going through the motion” one’s practice can transcend the mat in many gratifying ways.
