Amanda fell in love with hot yoga on a chilly January day in upstate New York. Since that start in 2001, her practice has included a variety of styles at home and in studio leading to yoga teacher training for an RTY-200 certification at Om Shanti & Zenitry in 2022. Since then, Amanda has taught a 6 am sunrise vinyasa flow class, subbed for classes in a variety of styles, and continued her yoga education. When not in the studio, Amanda can be found using her Master's degree in Gerontology working with older adults, cooking, or spending time with her cat Mojo and dog Dorothy.
