Mandy started practicing yoga about six years ago to stretch after intense cardio workouts, such as running and TRX circuit training. Once she learned how to do the yoga poses properly, without allowing her body to 'cheat', she realized that yoga can also be a deep and very satisfying workout. But even more, she learned that concentrating on her asana practice, incorporating breath with movement, allowed her to clear her mind of the stresses of a corporate job, daily 'to do' lists, and city-living. She enjoys the end result of each yoga practice, feeling physically stimulated and mentally refreshed.
Mandy started teaching yoga as she continued to learn more about its benefits and wondered "Why doesn't everyone practice?" As such, her classes are structured such that they are challenging for both mind and body, with the end result of feeling rejuvenated inside and out.
Mandy recently completed the YogaWorks 200-hour teacher training and has applied for the YogaAlliance certification.
Mandy is inspired by her dedicated and sincere teachers, and hopes to be one to all of her students so they can reach their full potential through yoga.
