Amy Kassis
Owner/Founder

Amy has been a certified yoga instructor for 7 years. A graduate of Clemson University with a Bachelor of Science degree in Economics, Amy used yoga as a way to find balance between her working world and her spiritual side. Soon her yoga teacher encouraged her to become an instructor. This is when the road to Yoga Mama Karma Kid began.

After receiving her teaching certification from Stephanie Keach at the Asheville Yoga Center, Amy began teaching on a private basis. Then she moved to Paris, France and studied Ashtanga yoga for six months under a yogi named Merixtell. Also while in France, she learned the benefits of reiki healing and dream analysis

Back in the United States, Amy integrated her knowledge of yoga with reiki and opened The Spirit Room. Now, an Ordained Healing Minister and Reiki Master, Amy gives treatments as well as attunes others to practice the loving light of reiki.

After receiving training from Shakta Kaur Khalsa in Los Angles, California in the Radiant Child Yoga Program, Amy learned how to incorporate her love of children and yoga into a developing curriculum of yoga that nurtures the child’s mind, body and spirit.

Amy personally found the benefits of children’s yoga when her daughter, Noelle, integrated herself into Amy’s yoga practice. Even from the womb, Noelle affected her discipline as she modified her yoga routine to her changing body.

The oldest of six kids, Amy has been around children all her life. She has always felt she was born to be a mother. Yoga Mama Karma Kid will allow Amy to be that mother for all of the children who visit her studio. She sees herself as their “yoga mama” who will help them learn morals and how to grow to have a positive influence on society.
