Amy Brown received a metal on metal hip replacement just over four years prior to pursing her dream of opening a yoga studio. After finding out she had a faulty device, a revision surgery to remove the device resulted in her having to close her studio after two and a half months. Amy’s road to recovery, physically and mentally, has been one of many lessons.  She continues to do yoga and cycle, as these two activities play a significant role in helping her cope through this recovery.
