About Amanda

Yoga Instructor, Newburgh Yoga Shala

Student to Teacher Journey

I found yoga in 2010 looking for a way to get better sleep and recover from a sports injury, and soon discovered it was healing much more than the injury. I stayed committed to practicing and in 2016 completed my 200 RYT with Yoga District in Washington, DC.

Teaching Style & Influences

I've studied Black Lotus and Ashtanga yoga with Ty Landrum, Wambui Njuguna, and Petri Raisanen. My academic work in conflict transformation, trauma-sensitivity, and religion and spirituality all inform the yoga I practice on and beyond the mat. I strive to bring a focus on sacred space creation and non-harming (ahimsa) into every class I teach. Classes with me generally start with steady heat-building, are playful and alignment-focused, and end with healing relaxation.
