What to expect…

My approach to yoga centers on the belief that you know your body best. For a long time, I didn’t trust that and found myself contorting in ways that were prescribed to me; often over-efforting to people-please and fit into a mold of a body that society found palatable. After years of practicing yoga, I’ve come to land back in a place of JOY, celebrating and honoring my body and it’s energy through intentional expression of movement. I feel grateful to have landed into classes that have reignited my connection to my body, and teach classes that inspire the same.

My classes always begin with mindful breathing and an invitation to connect to a bigger purpose, if that is something that feels useful. Rooted in the eight-limbed path, there are bits of yoga philosophy woven into the tapestry of each session, but they are conveyed in applicable ways for the modern yogi to digest and utilize. I’ll often begin with a silly story from my classroom, or my observations from my own continued understanding of what it really means to embody “self love.”

As class picks up, you’ll flow at a pace that matches your breath to movement. Expect an invitation for isolated core engagement to support balancing postures before slowing back down to deeper stretches and of course, sweet sweet savasana at the end.

All along the journey, you’ll flow to music that curates the tone of each aspect of our practice. Find me on Spotify @ Amanda Michelle
