“What began as a personal journey of healing has grown into a lifelong mission to share peace and build community.”
-Namaste, Amanda M.
“Amanda led a yoga for Jiu Jitsu class daily at a Jiu Jitsu Camp I was at this past October. I was amazed at how relaxed my body was and activated my muscles felt for the training that followed. It was masterful how she integrated Jiu Jitsu and yoga in such a seamless way. I plan to regularly incorporate the poses, breathing and stretches into my routine. Amanda’s teaching style was truly warm and welcoming. I can’t wait to work with her again”

From the blog:
My affirmation is ” I am ready.” I am ready to step into my dharma. My duty, my life’s purpose. To heal myself and help others find peace and healing along the way. I do not practice or teach Yoga because I am calm, Zen and all the other words people perceive yoga teachers are. I am always seeking to find peace because it comes and goes. I am fortunate to have the tools of yoga, meditation and the support of my community both yoga and jiu jitsu. I believe a private practice, a tribe and putting your wellness first are keys to feeling really good about your life. A quote I love is “healing is not linear” for me it’s minute to minute and the more mindful I am of my own reverence and disciplines the better life at that moment is. I hope to share what really has worked in my life as I have overcome so much and choose to live with true joy. Today I love my life.
