My Story

yoga

Hi, I’m Amy Kerman-Gutzmer.

​

I created Everyday Yoga Escape as a gentle space for women who are overwhelmed, stressed, or carrying more than anyone realizes; a place where you can finally exhale and feel supported again.

​

For over 15 years, I’ve taught yoga, meditation, mindfulness, and energy-healing practices in the Chicago suburbs and beyond.
But what I do now goes deeper than teaching movement.

​

My work is about helping you:

  • calm your nervous system

  • feel safe in your own body

  • reconnect to your inner strength

  • soften the stress you’ve been holding

  • experience real moments of peace again

​​​

Alongside my teaching, I’ve spent more than a decade studying personal development, energy medicine, trauma-informed practices, and the mind-body connection. All of this blends into the gentle, compassionate way I teach - especially for beginners and anyone who finds traditional yoga spaces intimidating or overwhelming.

​

Everyday Yoga Escape began as a simple idea:to help people find their inner calm.

​

Today, it’s a sanctuary - in-person and online - where you can breathe easier, move gently, and feel supported from the inside out.
A place where your nervous system can finally settle.
A place where you don’t have to earn rest; you’re allowed to arrive exactly as you are.

​

I teach weekly classes, present at conferences and workshops, create guided meditations (featured on the AURA Meditation App), and offer simple tools to make life feel lighter and more manageable.

​

And because I know life is full, I created the Everyday Yoga Escape Online Studio: even five minutes of gentle movement or meditation can shift the course of your day  and I want you to have access to that escape whenever you need it.

​

Wherever you are on your journey, I’m here to help you find your calm, your balance, and your inner resilience, one soft, supported step at a time.

​

I’m so grateful you’re here. Welcome to your escape.
 

Amy
