Bridget Yanni has gained an intimate knowledge of the body’s complex structural systems and physical potential during her dedicated yoga practice and 16 years as a massage therapist. She puts it to the test as she leads a group of certified instructors at Amma Yanni Yoga at Amma Center, where they cultivate a welcoming atmosphere for students at any point on their journey to physical and mental wellness. During group and private hatha classes, they emphasize alignment while lengthening muscles and conditioning tendons, which reduces stress on ligaments already burdened by Macarena marathons. This specialized combination of breath linked with movement boosts flexibility, stamina, and strength, as they lead students through a dynamic flow of postures entwined with meditation exercises, offering individual corrections along the way. When they’re not leading sun salutations, the dedicated instructors help others travel along the yogi’s path with teacher-training programs. The studio also hosts workshops that include guest teachers and chanting exercises.

Throughout her career in therapeutic massage, Bridget developed her own form of neuromuscular integration and structural reeducation, and further helps her clients heal with this restorative system. She also helps to ease her clients’ pain with therapeutic massage, polarity therapy, and reiki massage.
