Serving our military so they can be mission ready.

Meet our founders

Amy has experienced Army life from nearly every angle.  During her father’s 30 years as an active duty Army officer, she lived on several stateside military posts, as well as in South Korea and graduated from high school in Germany.

Amy commissioned as a military intelligence officer in the US Army after completed ROTC at Tulane University. She later deployed with the 2-3 Stryker Brigade Combat Team to Iraq from 2009-2010. Amy left the Army in 2011, but continued to serve as the spouse of an active duty Army officer.

In 2018, having found that yoga was a practice to help her own anxiety needs, Amy became a 200 RYT. Since that time, she has completed her 500 RYT training with nOMad always at OM, Warriors at Ease Level 1 Training, and the Veterans' Yoga Project Mindful Resilience Training as well as VYP's Advanced Training Summit. 

In 2019, she was excited to merge her two knowledge bases of the military and yoga to help found TRIBE.

She is passionate about building the resiliency of the greater military community in order to ensure their mental, emotional, and physical welfare and to honor their service.

Phoebe comes from a strong movement background. She received her BFA in Modern Dance from University of the Arts in Philadelphia, where she studied technique, anatomy, kinesiology, and pedagogy. As a professional dancer in New York City, her studies continued and she earned her Pilates certification from the Kane School of Core Integration, 500 hour Certification (ERYT500) under the guidance of her mentor Jeanmarie Paolillo from YogaWorks and Restorative/Therapeutics training with Jillian Pransky from YogaWorks. 

Teaching at various studios/programs in New York City since 2002, Phoebe made the move to the Hudson Valley in 2010.  She founded and directed the yoga program, Yoga at the Roundhouse in Beacon, NY. In 2014, she founded  nOMad always at OM that brings new experiences on and off the mat to yogis at nOMad's Online Studio, on yoga retreats, and at community events. Her mission through nOMad is to give her students the tools to live a fuller life with more joy, gratitude, confidence, and connection. 

Over the past two years, Phoebe & nOMad have had the honor to work with veterans and active duty through offering nOMad's yoga teacher training program at West Point. Under the mentorship of Phoebe, nOMad graduates, Amy Gatzemeyer, Jessica Bugbee, and Cece Givens have organized a new non-profit, TRIBE (we Teach Resilience, Increase Balance & Endurance) to offer the tools of yoga to active duty.

As a child, Phoebe lived alone with her dad until she was 14 years old. After her father's disappearance and then reappearance in 2009, he was declared 100% mentally disabled as a result of suffering from PTSD from serving two tours in Vietnam as a helicopter pilot. After her father's death in 2013, she was guided to work with the military community which she is extremely grateful to be of service in helping others use the tools of yoga for resilience & their own healing while she has also been able to do her own personal healing through the work.
