Testimonial
' Yoga is my time, the time for me to 'park' all the chaotic thoughts in my head and have time for me. My breathing relaxes, my mind relaxes, my body relaxes and somehow those chaotic thoughts seem not so chaotic after my practice. Amanda is an amazing teacher and makes everyone feel so relaxed and able to do the best they can.'
