Amy Clement

HOT 26+ Founder and Master Trainer

As your HOT 26+ lead instructor and master trainer, here’s why you can expect great results from our signature program:

I spent 25+ years in corporate commercial real estate, traveling the globe handling multi-million dollar projects for Fortune 100 companies. During that time, my professional commitment, values-based leadership, productivity, teamwork, and aptitude skills were tested repeatedly, with great success.

I became known for my unique ability to mentor others, and took a year to achieve the level of certified Executive Coach through Duke University. The training was first class, and as I applied it in my work, business got even better.

My bank account held more than I thought possible.

But I knew I had something more to achieve. I knew breaking free was the only true option. I had paid the price of financial and business success by degrading my body and my joy through overwork, perfectionism and imbalance. (The list is much longer, but you get the point!)

As a 10 year Bikram student, I knew pursuing Bikram Yoga more rigorously would be my ticket to health and wellness. So I moved temporarily to Los Angeles in 2012 to successfully complete the Bikram Yoga College of India’s nine week (500+-hour) training program.

Everything changed when I had a new vision for a completely different future.

I would gather all I had learned to help others avoid what I went through.

I would gather all I had learned to create a different path forward to whole body fitness.

And that’s what I did.

Welcome to your path forward… available only with Hot 26+ Teacher Training.

This is what you’ve been looking for.

Amy’s unparalleled teaching skill can only be surpassed by her commitment to her craft. She is a pioneer in her field and studying under her has been nothing short of an honor. The clear and articulate curriculum, materials and sessions made for an inspiring and enriching learning environment that will leave a lasting impression on my students. Also, it has taught me lessons that will remain with me for a lifetime. In my almost 20-year experience as both a teacher and student, I would be hard pressed to name a mentor that compares. She is the perfect mix of love, diligence and professionalism. I fully honor and endorse the Hot26+ program created by Amy.

Patti SicilianoOriginal Hot Yoga Instructor

Bikram Yoga Lake Norman is the best studio for Bikram Yoga in the Charlotte area and one of the best I’ve been to anywhere. The owner, Amy Clement, sets the bar high. The studio is exceptionally clean and has a state of the art heating and ventilation system. The classes, which include several types, are challenging and professional but not competitive. There’s a welcoming and friendly atmosphere, and I always look forward to going there. Amy has also provided me with the opportunity to teach Pilates, and I am now also training with her to teach Bikram. She is a great teacher, encouraging yet always challenging me to grow and be my best. She sets the example in her own commitment to continuously learn and grow. My time at Bikram Yoga Lake Norman continues to be rewarding and fun, and I highly recommend it.
