A little about Amy…
In April 2005, The Salt Lake Tribune featured Amy Conn on the front page of the Sport’s section, Running through Adversity: "Amy Conn will run the Salt Lake City Marathon four days before undergoing chemotherapy and one month following a lumpectomy."
In 2006, after a year of completing her own regiment of chemotherapy and radiation treatments, Amy began the program A Quality Life Community (QLC): Yoga for Survivors, Caregivers, Loved Ones; a free class for people who desired a healing program that would extend beyond the doctor’s appointments.
In the Fall of 2008, The Catalyst Magazine featured the A Quality Life Community yoga program describing the benefits of yoga. “Fear can be a chronic emotion for those dealing with cancer: fear of the treatment process, the outcome, and even recurrence,” Conn states. “Practicing yoga in a setting like Quality of Life brings a student face to face with that fear and gives them tools to move past it.”
A Quality Life Community (QLC)
Yoga for Cancer Survivors is currently taught on Zoom and in-person by QLC teachers on Wed at 6:30 pm (Utah Cancer Specialists), Mondays at 6:30 (South Jordan Valley Hospital) and Friday at 10:00 am (Infusion Yoga and Pilates in Bountiful).
Amy is a 30+ year school teacher and currently teaches at the Salt Lake Arts Academy.
Amy holds teacher licenses in Special Education, Physical Education and as a Yoga Instructor. One of her passions is teaching Yoga to pre-teens and teenagers.
Home
Amy lives with her husband, Firefighter/Paramedic Capt. Michael Conn and her animals. Her grown children have been raised in and out of yoga studios and are currently on their own spirit path.
Amy finds respite from her active life in the mountains surrounding her home. Almost every weekend, Amy can be seen hiking with her dogs up a mountain trail stopping at the top for a brief meditation.
Yoga for Wellness
Amy conducts Yoga for Wellness Retreats, Workshops, and teaches weekly in-person classes with:
Mosaic Yoga SLC, 1991 South 1100 East (in Sugarhouse Ally, next to Best Friends and Sugarhouse Coffee. SLC, UT 84106)
How Can We Assist YOU?
Yoga for Wellness is a practice intended to assist the student practitioner to DISCOVER their practice regardless of the “level” the student perceives themselves to be at that moment.
As our bodies change through various mobility stages, Yoga for Wellness will meet you at your beginning and progress through your practice with you. Yoga for Wellness is also about self discovery, self awareness and Fun! We like to integrate the “JOMO” in life. (Joy of Missing Out - in other words, removing Fear and replacing it with Joy. Taking a “time out” from things that can create stress; feeling the moment joyfully)
