Mondays 3:30 Pre-Natal Yoga
Pre-Natal Yoga is the ideal movement class for expectant mothers,
providing awareness and support, as well as relief from pregnancy
related discomforts.  The class encourages deep abdomen
breathing, hip opening, and spinal flexibility to create a ready and
open body.  Visualizations and mantras for the mind complement the
practice to nurture a sacred and peaceful path into motherhood.


about Amanda
Amanda has created a life of studying movement arts.  Her evolution
began with varied disciplines through gymnastics, modern dance,
and capoiera, yet her present focus revolves completely on the
philosophy of yoga. She received her 1,000-hour Hatha certification
with Iyengar instructors Betty Larson and John Charping at the
Southern Institute of Yoga Instructors.  In 2004 she moved to NYC to
further her studies and trained in Katonah Yoga with Elizabeth
Andes-Bell.  Her explorations in Katonah Yoga, a method steeped in
Traditional Chinese Medicine and Taoism, opened the physical
structure of the practice, exposing energetic harmony between one’s
body and the surrounding natural world. A two-month journey
through India in 2009 allowed her to thrive, enriching her practice
and deepening her teaching intentions.

Amanda is currently director and co-teacher of the Teacher Training
program at Om Factory Yoga Center in New York City, a 200-hour
Hatha Vinyasa registered school. She actively teaches classes,
workshops, and retreats to students of all levels imparting the
balance of power and peace in the practice. Recent retreats to India,
Mexico, and Italy have spread her therapeutic and compassionate
touch worldwide. Amanda’s love for humanity blends with the
energetic flow of nature to create a yoga experience both personal
and present in our ever-evolving world.
