Aimee and Tim were first introduced to AYP while training with AYP co-founders, Baron Baptiste and Paige Elenson. These meetings sparked a commitment to being a part of what AYP is up to.

How Connecticut Power Yoga Supports AYP

Since 2014, Aimee has been mentored an AYP teacher named Meshack from Nairobi Kenya. Each month, she meets with him to discuss visions and goals. Together, using the tools of the Baptiste Methodology, they are able to create impacts on their own life, and in the surrounding community.
In the fall of 2015, CTPY had the opportunity to host two amazing women, Margaret and Sharifa, through the “Hugs Handstands & Highways” tour. In the Fall of 2017, CTPY again hosted teachers during the Hugs Handstands & Happiness tour. We welcomed Lucas Wandukwa, and Bernard Gitonga to the CTPY community. This year, Millie and Lizie will be joining us.
In March 2018 Aimee traveled to Nairobi Kenya to assist Africa Yoga Projects 200hr teacher training program.
