Amanda Noel McKinley was raised in Southern California where the definition of fitness is largely based on aesthetics and performance. Knowing that there was a deeper need to connect body and mind, she stepped into her yoga practice in search of peace and contentment and as a means to revive flexibility and strength. What she found in yoga was not only a means to a healthier body and mind but a path to spiritual enlightenment and wisdom. Amanda has been doing Hatha yoga since 2007 and has been certified by Purple Yoga in Long Beach, CA as a yoga instructor at the 200-Hour level. During her teacher training, her knowledge of asana and yogic philosophy deepened, as did her ability to share yoga with others. For Amanda, yoga is simultaneously a strengthening and humbling practice and it is where one finds the balance between pride and compassion. It has helped her cross many physical and emotional boundaries and her goal is to help others cross their boundaries as well. |
