Amy Farahay, E-RYT 500
Founder, InspireTM Yoga Education

As a mother of two, a yoga educator, and a lifelong learner, I understand the balance between purpose and practicality — between nurturing others and continuing to grow yourself. That same awareness inspires my work today: helping yoga studio owners and teachers build businesses that feel aligned, sustainable, and deeply fulfilling.

My yoga journey began in 2007, and five years later, I stepped into the role of Director of Operations for a local studio where I developed our first 200-hour Yoga Teacher Training program. What started as a single offering quickly became an international program, bringing quality yoga education to communities around the world.

That experience shaped my understanding of what studios truly need to thrive — not just curriculum, but clear structure, mentorship, and systems that make growth easier. In 2015, I began collaborating with studios to develop teacher training programs that allowed them to expand their offerings and strengthen their communities without adding more to their plates.

Over time, these collaborations grew into InspireTM, a company dedicated to empowering yoga professionals with the tools, training, and guidance they need to lead with confidence. Through InspireTM, I now help studio owners refine their business models, develop leadership skills, and align their operations with purpose — all while earning recognition for the work they’re already doing.

I believe that a successful yoga business doesn’t come from doing more, but from doing what matters most — with intention, clarity, and heart. My role is to help teachers and studio owners bring their vision to life through mentorship that blends strategy with soul.

At its core, my mission is simple: to make growth feel lighter. To help leaders in yoga step into their purpose with confidence. And to remind every teacher and studio owner that what they’re already doing has value — they just need the structure and support to make it shine.

With love,
Amy Farahay, E-RYT 500
