In the year 2001, on a chilly day in upstate New York, Amanda fell in love with heated yoga. Her personal yoga journey continued, gaining experience with various styles and sharing her home practice with a few confused pets. In January of 2022, Amanda completed her RYT 200 certification course through Om Shanti & Zenitry with the goal of sharing her love for yoga with a community. When not practicing yoga, Amanda can be found running with her hound mix, Dorothy, or recovering from those runs snuggling with her cat, Mojo. In addition to yoga training, Amanda holds a Master's degree in Gerontology with a practice focusing on supporting caregivers.
