MEET AMANDA
Namaste
I first came to my mat 11 years ago. After experiencing the profound impact of my personal practice, I travelled to Baja, Mexico to complete a teacher training program with Yandara Yoga Institute and obtain my 200RYT certification from Yoga Alliance. For two years, I taught in studios, privately, and for special events in Anchorage, Alaska before migrating back to my hometown of Cincinnati to start a family with my husband, Dave. After giving birth to our son in December 2016, I returned to teaching with a new sense of humility, purpose, and understanding of the power of the human body.
I believe in living a life full of gratitude and free of judgement. These feelings inform and guide my teaching and practice, which is focused on helping my students achieve their personal fitness goals while also building space for the mental and emotional benefits a yoga practice naturally brings. I offer private in-home sessions, workplace group classes, prenatal and postpartum yoga, and special event yoga.
OFFERINGS
I specialize in Vinyasa (continuously moving) and Yin (restorative) styles of yoga. One of the luxuries of private yoga is having the option to blend these styles or to focus on just one. If desired, I offer hands-on adjustments during class and relaxation with essential oils at the conclusion. The following are descriptions of my typical offerings; however, if you don't see what you're looking for, please contact me so I can begin designing a program that's ideal for you.
IN-HOME PRIVATE SESSIONS
Commit to taking time for yourself. With private in-home yoga sessions you no longer have to internalize the guilt of missing class because you're too busy, too tired, too whatever. I'll come to you on a regular basis and guide you through a personalized practice that I adapt to how you are feeling that day, while keeping steady aim on your long-term goals. This is a wonderful option for beginners as well as those seeking to deepen an existing practice. Open to individuals, couples, and small groups.
WORKPLACE GROUP CLASSES
Promote wellness. Employee wellness programs are shown to decrease sick leave, reduce healthcare costs, and minimize workers' compensations claims. Moreover, at-work yoga classes are a meaningful way for employees to connect with one another while taking the time to calm their nerves and refocus their energies. These classes will move at a moderate pace with an emphasis on strength building and relaxation. Sessions can be offered on a recurring basis or as one-time events for corporate retreats or team-building programs.
SPECIAL EVENT YOGA
Take in the experience. A group yoga class is a memorable addition to any celebration. Maybe you're planning a bridal shower, reunion, or girl's weekend, or perhaps you're trying to build foot traffic in your new small business. Hosting a yoga class can be the creative element that sets your event apart from the rest.
PRENATAL & POSTPARTUM YOGA
Strengthen. Connect. Heal. A woman's body creates an entire universe in just nine months before delivering a new life into the world. Prenatal yoga helps you harness the mental and physical strength required to prepare for and give birth. After birth, your body continues to experience dramatic changes and should be honored and nurtured. Yoga can help to restore strength and elasticity to the muscles and tissues most exhausted during pregnancy, labor, and delivery. During pregnancy and after, the mind is busy and excited. A regular yoga practice allows a mother to stay present for each stage of the journey.
“Amanda has been a wonderful in-home private yoga instructor for me during my second pregnancy! She is very flexible & works with me to tailor our sessions as needed. She is kind & caring, a true gentle spirit. I would recommend her to anyone! She's a gem!”

"Amanda brings a rare mix of confidence and humility to the practice she leads. This made the atmosphere welcoming and relaxing for guests of all levels of yoga practice. In addition to creating a session that was accessible for all guests, Amanda fosters a serenity that helps ground and calm a group (especially a wedding group!), creating a shared experience for bonding. You will not find a more thoughtful, gracious, and qualified instructor to create an unforgettable experience for you and your friends or family. "

"We are partnering with Amanda to build our corporate wellness program. Amanda has been great to work with: she’s prepared, communicative and very enthusiastic. On the day of class, Amanda was there early, set up the entire room for us (and provided yoga mats and blocks) and held a class that was well suited for our class participants, all of whom had varying levels of experience with yoga. Everyone loved the class and we are looking forward to the next one."
