“These trainings are so far and away better than anything I have ever seen”
Tara M. Studio Owner
I am so completely blown away by Amy's knowledge, expertise, tenacity, creativity, professionalism, and talent. I have been a part of the teaching staff on four different teacher trainings so I hoped that I would *eventually* do the enormous work of writing my own, getting it approved by YA, and selling it. Three years have gone by and I constantly find an excuse to NOT write my own TT (too much work, too many hoops to jump through). Finally I had a call with Amy and later that same day she proposed the bones of a 200-hr AND 300-hr teacher training. These trainings are so far and away better than anything I have ever seen because she has so much experience with so many different studios and has crafted these trainings from so much feedback. I am now deep in the process with her and am impressed and grateful at every single turn. I HIGHLY recommend investing in your future alongside Amy. You will be totally blown away and you'll wonder what took you so long.
“Amy consistently exceeded my expectations, handling all the behind-the-scenes work flawlessly.”
Shastidy E. Studio Owner
From the very beginning, Amy made the yoga teacher training program with Yoga Alliance a truly seamless experience. She was incredibly responsive and readily available to answer any questions I had about the manual. Amy consistently exceeded my expectations, handling all the behind-the-scenes work flawlessly. If you're looking to start a yoga teacher training school, I wholeheartedly recommend Amy..
“I was so happy to connect with Amy! She made it easy to get my YA-certified Yoga Teacher Training going in just 3 short months!”
Jennifer K. Studio Owner
I was so happy to connect with Amy! She made it easy to get my YA-certified Yoga Teacher Training going in just 3 short months! Amy was so knowledgeable and helpful in answering my questions as I prepared for the training. She also did all the work on the back end to make sure my program was Yoga Alliance-certified. The YTT manual and supporting materials were very complete. With over a month before my YTT officially begins, I already have 8 committed students! Highly recommend working with Amy!
“This process has been so simple, Amy has continued to be a wonderful guide and super supportive.”
Grace L. Studio Owner
OMG, where do I begin? I opened a yoga studio about 2 years ago in my hometown and was repeatedly asked about teacher training. Definitely shying away from it, I put it on the back burner consistently. Eventually, I ran into Amy (online) with regard to Inspire TM and the options for YTT and Yoga School. After about 3 encounters, I finally was ready, and Amy was right there! This process has been so simple, and she has continued to be a wonderful guide and super supportive. I am so excited about our first YTT at Embodhi. Thanks, Amy, I so appreciate you!
“Not only did she exceed our expectations, but the work was of high quality”
Heather & Elana. Studio Owners
Amy is a joy and delight to work with! She quickly responded to our original inquiry, was efficient and thorough in our initial process to determine what would be best for us, and delivered results lightning-fast. Not only did she exceed our expectations, but the work was of high quality, and Yoga Alliance approved us before their pre-determined deadline without any revisions necessary. Amy will be available to us if we have questions moving forward related to the product she provided, which is another bonus. We feel lucky and grateful to have found her, and we consider her one of our best investments in growing our business.
“She took my vision and brought it to completion,”
Karen M, Studio Owner
My name is Karen Moss, and I own Better Bodies Yoga in Memphis, TN, which opened 20 years ago. I’ve been in the process of writing a 300-hour teacher training manual for Yoga Alliance, which was incredibly daunting. Despite spending over a year on it and watching hours of YA videos, the instructions were unclear, and I struggled to finish. On top of that, I was juggling running a 7-day-a-week studio, teaching classes, and handling all the business operations. Having undergone nine-foot surgeries in the last few years, the process became even more overwhelming. It took a toll on my physical and mental well-being.
I cannot even remember how I found Amy Farahay, owner of Inspire TM, but I am so thankful that I did. I initially contacted her and scheduled an online appointment, which went very well. She was nice, well-spoken, intelligent, and exceptionally knowledgeable about yoga. I sent Amy every bit of information I had already prepared and continued to send more until I became stuck in the middle of my healing journey. I am incorporating the Great Yoga Wall® in my TT. Amy organized and revised every piece of material I sent her and then added the sections I had not finished magnificently. Amy prepared and submitted my teacher training application and acquired my YA 300-hour program.
She took my vision and brought it to completion, thus removing an enormous amount of stress I couldn't muddle through. The manual is concise, clear, and ready to use. I am so grateful for Amy's patient persistence, tenacity, kindness, organization, communication skills, love, and knowledge that she brought to this project, which I would have given up on. I will use Amy to produce and publish my Great Yoga Wall® book and any other projects so I can use her professionalism. She is a true gift and will not disappoint.
Please feel free to contact me via email should you have any questions regarding using her services.
“I'm truly impressed”
Alexa B, Studio Manager
Amy was incredibly helpful throughout the process of running our own Yoga Teacher Training. Her manual is not only well-organized but also easy to read—I'm truly impressed.
Everything is neatly arranged in a Google Drive folder, making it simple to reference and stay organized. If you're looking to host a YTT and aren't sure where to start, look no further.
This manual covers all the essentials and can be easily customized if needed. Amy completed all the backend work, which could have taken us years to complete on our own, in just about a week. She was kind and supportive throughout the process and always willing to answer any questions we had.
“Working with Amy was easy and stress-free!”
Stephanie G, Studio Owner
Working with Amy was easy and stress-free! She quickly followed up with any questions, and her directions regarding the process were clear and easy to implement.
We are grateful to have had so much support in this otherwise overwhelming process!
“Working in partnership with Amy has made my dream of offering yoga teacher training possible”.
Jennifer Lenhart, E-RYT 500, Studio Owner
I had been wanting to develop a 300-hour teacher training program for many years (and had even tried to start doing so a couple of times), but as the busy sole owner and lead teacher at my yoga studio, I just didn't have the time to do what needed to be done to get a program off the ground.
Working in partnership with Amy at Inspire to develop a customized YTT manual (and to navigate the ever-changing and complicated Yoga Alliance guidelines) has been a delight and also has made my dream of offering yoga teacher training possible. I highly recommend Amy and the services she offers.
Throughout the whole process, Amy has been professional, clear, receptive, and helpful. I chose to create a customized program so that I could focus on my areas of specialty and the teaching lineage I come from, include the materials I have developed and curated for workshops over the years, and give the program the "flavor" of my teaching style.
Amy provides guidance, support, insight, ideas, and encouragement during every step of this process, and the fact that she herself is a yoga teacher who also happens to have a good head for this kind of work is invaluable. I am so glad I decided to hire Amy to help me with this project, and I would happily work with her again in the future.
“Simply tell her what you want, and she’ll take care of it for you.”
Shannon Shugart, E-RYT 500, Studio Owner
Amy Farahay is an exceptional professional in the field of yoga, and I wholeheartedly recommend her for any yoga-related projects or collaborations!
She has the remarkable ability to simplify complex concepts into a 200hr. Yoga Teacher Training Manual approved by the Yoga Alliance saving you the time and energy of figuring it all out. While at the same time creating marketing plans to go along with your training. Simply tell her what you want, and she’ll take care of it for you.
Amy goes above and beyond, taking the time to truly understand your business, making her not only a reliable business consultant but also a trusted friend. Her deep knowledge of yoga and her knack for personalization set her apart. In addition, she's a skilled web designer and created a professional website for my studios that perfectly captures our essence.
Amy Farahay's dedication, expertise, and warm personality make her an invaluable asset to any yoga endeavor she puts her hands on.
after reading through the rough draft modules that amy has created, she was able to pin point my teaching style in written form with all the details better then I could‘ve done for myself!
Sarah Rehman, E-RYT 500, Studio Owner
Teaching is my passion and teaching yoga is where that fire was lit within me over 13 years ago. Through those years, I have continued to do trainings and certifications yearly and consider myself a forever student since there’s always so much to learn! I opened an aerial yoga studio called Flying Buddha Studio, 7 years ago and the concept has evolved into a mindful, movement studio that includes yoga, aerial yoga, aerial dance, aerial arts with the hoop and hammock, bungee fitness, The Great Yoga Wall, pole fitness, burlesque, and so much more! I love to teach and my home is always with yoga. I have learned to apply my yoga to all these different movement modalities and the time has come in my career to share all the wisdom, knowledge, and experience that has been shared with me. I have felt that I should be teaching teachers and it’s been a goal to create a yoga teacher training program for over a couple years now. The process of creating the teacher training manual has felt overwhelming especially on top of the day to day responsibilities with my business, family, and the unexpected twists and turns that come with life.
I saw Amy’s advertisement in an email a year before and I did reach out, but I was hesitant and thought that I would find the time to put in the work to create my manual. A year later, I hadn’t made that much progress in the manual making and I decided to reach out again but this time I set up a meeting to learn more about Amy’s services and to get answers to my questions. Our 15 minute meeting turned into an hour and I felt very comfortable talking with her and this led to me becoming a client. She asked me questions about my yoga influences and favorite books. I told her about my training experiences and she listened. I didn’t quite understand at the time what she meant when she said that creating these teacher training manuals is how she lives her yoga practice, but after reading through the rough draft modules that she had created for me I realized she was able to pin point my teaching style in written form with all the details better then I could‘ve done for myself. I also realized that leading a teacher training is going to allow me to go full circle. Like many, yoga started out as a more physical practice but when I needed to heal and go deeper within myself my practice and learning to teach gave me a strong sense of purpose and spirituality. Reading through all the details in the modules that Amy had so eloquently put together reminded me of why I came to yoga in the first place to heal.
We are still in the process of creating the yoga teacher training manual, but the draft that she has shared with me to read over has sparked excitement and creative inspiration in me as my goals have become more concrete and attainable from Amy’s services. I highly recommend working with her and allowing her to add her talents to your future programs.
“I was impressed with the clarity of her communications and the confidence she had in her programs.”
Cynthia Johannes-Beecher, RYT500, Studio Owner
Amy Farahay’s passion, talent, caring focus, and hard work brought my goal of establishing a Yoga Teacher Training School to fruition. I was impressed with the clarity of her communications and the confidence she had in her programs.
As a yoga studio owner with a busy life in addition to yoga, I didn’t feel I had the time nor the expertise to develop a ryt200 level training program on my own. When Amy reached out and I learned about InspireTM, I was impressed. Amy’s professionalism, competence, and caring nature was evident on our first meeting. She understood what I was looking for and would provide a program that met all the requirements of the Yoga Alliance but was personal to my studio.
Amy followed a clearly communicated process to gather information from me and share information back. She told me exactly what I could expect and what she would provide, and when. Amy consistently over delivered. I would highly recommend Amy for supporting anyone who is looking to begin a Yoga Teacher Training School of their own.
She was professional, passionate, competent, and always responded in a timely manner. Most of all, the 200-level program was amazing. Her passion for yoga shines through this program. I cannot wait to receive my approval from the Yoga Alliance and begin this next chapter in my yoga life.
Thank you, Amy, for reaching out and supporting me to attain my goal of continuing to spread the knowledge and love of yoga to our community.
The manual Amy created is incredibly detailed and comprehensive, meeting all the expectations of Yoga Alliance. It provides clear and concise information for both teacher and student.
Wy Wakefield, Studio Owner
Amy recently developed a complete YTT manual for me, meeting the requirements of Yoga Alliance and I'm extremely pleased with the results. The manual Amy created is incredibly detailed and comprehensive, meeting all the expectations of Yoga Alliance. It provides clear and concise information for both teacher and student.
It is NOT a generic template but specifically tailored to my curriculum, philosophy, and teaching approach. Amy delivered the manual well within two weeks of her promise. She was responsive and communicative throughout this process, promptly addressing any questions or concerns I had and kept me informed at every stage of the process.
My investment in her services has proven to be invaluable considering the time and headache Amy has saved me. Her professionalism, attention to detail, and client satisfaction makes her a standout choice in her field.
I'm so happy she found me!!!
I mean EVERY word. I would never have been able to do this on my own. YA would laugh at me right out the door. I am so grateful you found me <3
This has been the absolute best experience!
Jessica G, Studio Owner
I appreciate you! This has been the absolute best experience! I cannot wait to teach another 200hr in January! The growth
I have experienced wasn’t expected but has been the biggest blessing!
Amy has made what could have been a very stressful experience super simple and pleasant. Her commitment to her clients is unmatched. She is compassionate, consistent, and reliable. I am grateful for Amy with Inspire.
I highly recommend her services!
“We just concluded our first yoga teacher training and I must say, it went really well. The students truly enjoyed the material and pace of the program and the length (5 months).”
Cynthia Johannes-Beecher, RYT500, Studio Owner
Hello Amy!
We just concluded our first yoga teacher training and I must say, it went really well. The students truly enjoyed the material and pace of the program and the length (5 months). Each student began their certification journey for different reasons and felt the program met all of their expectations.
One of my students who began the training because her church eliminated the yoga classes they were offering there. She is a past minister, avid yogi, and is very much involved in her church. She felt that if she could get the certification and deepen her practice , she would share it with the members at church that were truly missing this wonderful class. So, in just a few weeks, those classes will resume at their church, led by her, and all given as a gift back to the community.
Also, since our school opened, we have welcomed 15 new students to our studio, and I'd like to believe that the fact that we are teaching folks to become teachers, has increased our allure and credibility.
Many thanks to your hard work and support. We look forward to beginning our second teacher training on October 5th.
Namaste, Cindy

Kimberly M, Owner
When I first began the process of looking at opening a Yoga Teaching Training School, I felt overwhelmed by the time and information it would take for me to do it the way I wanted to.
Amy at InspireTM was so incredibly helpful and knowledgeable about the process that I knew I wanted to have her as my consultant. What a great business decision it was!
