Amy Dannheim

The musings of Miami Beach based yoga instructor and yoga and lifestyle blogger Amy (Steiner) Dannheim.

strong as a mother⚡️i didn’t fully get it until i became a mom. it’s not just the physical ability to carry a child but the mental fortitude to hold space for someone small who is just learning to communicate. it is warrior work to continually practice patience, empathy, compassion - for both them and us - and to trust ourselves through the process 💖 yoga tonight at @tropicalvinyasa 6pm or anytime with the @movewith app 📲 my mamas out there - i have some 15 minute classes you can sneak in during a nap time (like i’m doing rn) #yogamom

we tried to be festive 🤷🏼‍♀️ but we lasted all of 5 minutes at the pumpkin festival today. a zillion degrees, techno music pumping and no shade. so we beelined over to cool off with our favorite treat 🍦 and charlie bumped her eye today and i’m hoping her other shoe is in the car #parenting #saturday #miami

we’ll be flowing at the @nwsymphony this saturday oct 13th! 🎼 join me 9am - 10am for a free outdoor yoga class in beautiful soundscape park 💚 it’s the kickoff for yoga mornings, a seasonal yoga event led by some of miami’s top instructors 🙌🏼 kids are welcome, charlie will be there teaching with me 💖 #yoga #nwsyogamornings #miamiyoga

🎉💓🎂 charlie, you are 1️⃣ today!!! i never expected my heart to grow the way it has over the past year. it is my absolute joy to be your mom. i love you, my beautiful girl. swipe to see her grow 🌱 #love #birthday #babygirl #oneyearold

the shapes that the body makes on the outside reflect the opening being created inside. i practice yoga because it feels so good for my physical body, but also to unlock closed doors in my mind and to unravel old patterns and outdated programming 💾 one of my favorite quotes is that “yoga is measured in millimeters” and it’s like that with the internal practice too. slowly you begin picking foods and people that make you feel good, presence over perfection, space for understanding over being right 💫 #yoga #love photo by @miamidanceart and outfit by @livemiami 💝

eleven years ago today, i put on a dress, did my hair and walked into a starbucks in jacksonville to meet a guy i was messaging with on match.com. he greeted me with a big smile and a loud laugh and bought me a latte. i put aside my initial impression (trucker hat, polo shirt, baggy jeans 🙄) and three hours later, we closed down that starbucks. he texted me later that night and we met for lunch the next day. today we have a marriage, a beautiful little girl, a few businesses and a full life together. we have also weathered job changes, entrepreneurship, living in different countries, canceled wedding plans and financial struggles. but always stronger together 💖 i love you @moiked #marriage #relationships #love

me. a year ago, overdue and losing my mind. #tbt #countdown #babygirl #overdue #pregnantyogi

being strong has always come easily to me, it’s the softness that i’ve had to learn 🖤 it’s easy for me to get things done - tougher for me to slow down and consider how i show up as i’m doing them. through lots of missteps, coaching, tough conversations and forgiveness - both of myself and others. and i’m still very much in the work... because the inner work never ends 💫 photo by @sobeyogi outfit by @glimpsemiami #yoga #yogalife #love
