“This course was exactly what I needed to open my perspective on stress and evaluate ways to facilitate a safe space for moving through stress & anxiety.” ~ Anonymous

 

“My experience in this course was nothing short of incredible. The workshop was comprehensive, and I loved the balance of Western Science and Eastern Philosophy. I’ve struggled with an anxiety and panic disorder for years as a result of PTSD, and this weekend gave me so many take-aways. I can’t wait to practice what I learned at home. Thanks Amanda & Prem!” ~ Julia

Amanda has been practicing yoga off and on since her early 20s, but after back surgery in 2009 restricted her range of motion, she found her way back to yoga full time. When she first started back, touching her toes seemed like an impossibility, but, like many discoveries through yoga, there is no such thing as an impossibility. Yoga is a daily part of Amanda’s life both on and off the mat. Amanda has come to realize that the asana (postures) of the practice only skim the surface of what is available to be learned. Forever a student, Amanda has a thirst to continue learning and is on a lifelong learning journey that encompasses body, mind and soul. Her passions include mindfulness, loving kindness meditations, yin yoga and healing the physical body.

Amanda obtained her 200 & 300 hour trainings at Prana Yoga Studio under the delightful Yogi Vishvketu, and has certifications for both Prenatal (RPYT 85 hour) and Yin Yoga (115 hours). Amanda now has the pleasure of assisting the Prenatal Teacher Training through Om Mama Yoga. Teaching yoga has truly rejuvenated her and she loves being able to share all she has learned with the world.
