About Us

At Infinite Love Yoga, LLC, we embrace a holistic approach to yoga that goes beyond the mat. From meditation and mindfulness to movement and spiritual exploration, we’re here to support your full journey.

Yoga is an art, a subtle science, and a healthy way of living that encourages us to open our hearts and experience interconnectedness. Yoga is ancient and has deep cultural and spiritual roots. 

A regular yoga practice can help you gain strength, balance, and and flexibility, but it also has many benefits beyond the physical; including for your nervous system and mental health. 

We pride ourselves on being a welcoming community with experienced teachers who teach yoga as a system not a workout; bridging the gap between yoga’s ancient roots and your modern life.

Infinite Love is a peaceful space for self-healing and inner exploration. In addition to yoga, you’ll find practitioners of reiki, sound healing, energy healing, astrology, and monthly gatherings to encourage well-being, support, and connection. 

Your journey is a personal one, and we are here to assist you on your unique path. We want to see you thrive both on and off the mat.

 Welcome to your yoga community. Om shanti.

Amy VanScoter

Founder/Owner, Registered Yoga Teacher

Amy is the Founder/Owner of Infinite Love Yoga, LLC, managing the studio and all operations, including serving as caretaker to our many plants and guardian to Shanti, our therapy dog. She teaches several studio classes each week, provides 1:1 personal sessions, and travels to businesses and schools.

Amy has been practicing yoga and meditation for more than 25 years. She received her 250-hour Yoga Teacher Training Certification from Subtle Yoga in Asheville, NC, with Kristine Weber, with whom she continually studies. She is an experienced Registered Yoga Teacher (E-RYT), a Continuing Education Provider (YACEP), and has been teaching children and adults of all ages since 2008. In addition to Subtle Yoga, Amy has studied Kripalu, Kundalini, Hatha, Restorative, and Viniyoga. She is also attuned and certified in Usui Reiki I & II.

Amy teaches holistic yoga as a lifestyle for healthy living, guided by the ancient wisdom of yoga philosophy. She gently encourages students on their journey demonstrating how traditional yoga practices are still incredibly relevant to today’s modern life. Her style of teaching is trauma-informed and adaptable, coordinating breath with movement, and modifying postures, with a focus on how the asana feels more than how it looks. Her classes are subtle and work with the body’s energy, utilizing slow and mindful movements with breath, gentle flows, holding and balancing postures, and softening to release tension.

She encourages students to slow down, breathe, notice body sensations, and to see the beauty in the every day. Amy’s classes are especially helpful to those who often feel overwhelmed, experience anxiety or depression, or have inflammation in the body.

Whether you are someone interested in taking your practice deeper into the heart of yoga, or just starting out, Amy’s classes are a supportive place to land.

Julie

Julie Cypher

Astrology

Julie has been studying astrology for more than 15 years, and has organically become our “astro bestie,” at the studio helping us understand astrology in day to day life. She is endlessly fascinated by how the stars and planets reflect what’s going on in our lives. From birth charts to moon phases and planetary transits, she loves to dive deep into the cosmic patterns that influence our personalities, relationships, and growth. Her goal is to help you understand astrology so that you can find the patterns in how the skies mirror our lives on earth. Julie believes when we follow our “north node” we live a more true, authentic, and happier life. 

Nancy Bowden

Nancy believes you were meant to be well. She helps you return to this natural state of grace and well-being by using ancient energetic techniques and sound immersion therapies to bring you back into your natural state of being. She believes the body can often heal itself when it is cleared of negative energy and one is in a state of relaxation. Nancy draws upon her intuition and a wealth of experience and knowledge in her practice to help clear your energy centers, balance your mind, and energize your spirit. Nancy has been trained in Singing Bowl Therapy by Shree Krishna Shahi of Nepal; Energy Medicine with Deborah King of Life Force Healing; Quantum Entrainment (Basic, Advanced, and Eufeeling) with Frank Winslow; and the Magical Awakening System with Brett Bevell.

Elizabeth Keane

Reiki and Energy Healing

With nearly two decades of experience in energy healing, Liz offers a heart-centered practice aligning with her mission to support healing, balance, and transformation. As a Master-level Reiki practitioner, Liz feels deeply called to this path of healing, and over the years has expanded her practice with certifications in Crystal Reiki, Animal Reiki, and Color Reiki.  Each modality she works with allows her to connect more fully to the unique energy and needs of every individual, and to support the body’s natural ability to heal on physical, emotional, and spiritual levels. Liz offers both individual energy healing sessions and Reiki Circles—group gatherings that create a sacred space for collective healing, relaxation, and renewal. Whether you are new to energy work or have walked this path for years, these sessions are an invitation to reconnect with your inner light, release what no longer serves you, and restore harmony from within. Liz feels it is her joy and purpose to hold space for your healing journey—gently, intuitively, and always with love.

Shanti

Pet Therapy

Shanti (shaan·tee) is the embodiment of infinite love. Her name means “peace” in Sanskrit. She was named after the Shanti mantras, which are prayers for peace. You may notice a shanti mantra written in our local wildlife mural in the studio. Shanti reminds us that all living beings deserve peace. An 8-year-old Australian Shepherd and Border Collie mix, Shanti was adopted from Erie’s ANNA Shelter by Infinite Love’s founder, Amy. She has received her Therapy Dog certification through Therapy Dogs United. She is also a certified AKC Good Citizen. Spending time with animals has long been shown to assist with stress, anxiety, and depression. If you are new to the studio and feeling anxious, she can help. Shanti visits the studio with Amy when everyone in attendance has agreed prior that they welcome her visits. You can usually find Shanti at our Thursday 5:30pm restorative yoga class. She will help you relax and keep you grounded in the present moment. Shanti loves your attention and pets on her belly but, we ask that you please do not bring her treats as it tends to distract her from her very important job.

Christina Ohmer

Registered Yoga Teacher

Christina encourages students to be curious– open to exploration of body, mind, and heart on and off the mat– in the interest of cultivating deeper awareness, inner listening, and connection with self and others. She teaches with an emphasis on application for daily living, and incorporates yoga asana, somatic and functional movement, restorative yoga, meditation, breath work (pranayama), and classical yoga teachings into her classes. Inspiration comes from over 20 years of Christina’s own exploration of the yogic path. In 2010, she completed Prajna Yoga’s 200-hour yoga teacher training with Tias and Surya Little in Santa Fe, NM. She has also completed their SATYA (Sensory Awareness Training for Yoga Attunement) training, which is a somatic movement modality that complements yoga asana. She is a student at heart and continues her studies with various teachers.
