“Amanda plans every class to be a bit new and different while making sure we cover all the basics needed to keep our bodies stretched and healthy. They encourage us to push ourselves a little further but always to take care of ourselves. Amanda’s style is positive, welcoming and motivational.”

"Amanda provided the right space, resources, and time. The entire process was thoughtfully planned and tailored to my personal needs. Many of Amanda's suggestions helped to make the experience truly unique to me. I felt completely safe, and every need was attended to."

Offerings
Experience yoga as a holistic and spiritual practice for regulating the nervous system, getting in touch with the divine, and improving the quality of your life. My classes are:
a little slower paced than what you would normally see in a Vinyasa practice
suitable if you’re seeking a grounding practice
infused with yogic philosophy you can take off your mat and into the world
characterized by inclusive language, particularly for gender expansive people
Whether you are interested in vinyasa, gentle flow, or restorative offerings, I have you covered. My training in alignment-based and trauma-informed yoga ensures safety for you, both physically and emotionally.

Curriculum Development
If you are a healing professional (yoga teacher, therapist, energy worker, etc.) and interested in developing workshops and trainings, I would love to support you. You might be an expert in your modality but unsure of where to start in designing a workshop for clients or a training for other practitioners. Drawing on my 11+ years’ experience working with university educators at Stanford University and the University of California, I can support you with:
Accountability to actually get the thing done
Coaching to keep you positive and temper any negative self-talk
Advice from the research that will maximize learners’ take-aways and keep them coming back
Feedback and editing for training materials like workbooks, welcome emails, and evaluation surveys.
