Amanda began practicing yoga as an art student to help relieve the stress of college demands. While continuing to strengthen her personal yoga practice she went on to complete a post-graduate certificate in Design from the Sotheby’s Institute in London, England. Wanting to share the gifts of healing and joy yoga had given her, she went on to complete the 200-hour Yoga Teacher Training certification at Kripalu in 2009. Amanda has been teaching in the Southern Maine area for the past five years and presently teaches a Flow & Restore practice at Yarmouth Yoga Studio in Yarmouth.
At Asia West, Amanda has been able to find a place to connect her main passions of yoga and design. She focuses on helping clients to bring serenity into their own homes through interior design. Amanda’s own sacred space is a walk-in closet she transformed into a cozy meditation room. |
Lecture: Creating A Sacred Space in your Home. Carving out a special place in your home to connect to mindfulness can bring more abundance, peace and joy into your life. A sanctuary may be a personal yoga space, meditation altar or simply a place for reflection. This discussion will help you to create harmony in your home design by weaving together the principles of Fen-Shui, Wabi-Sabi, symbolism and color meaning. Amanda & Jill will also discuss the design process in creating the altars for this and last year’s Maine YogaFest. The discussion will also be valuable to yoga studio owners or holistic practitioners looking to create a harmonious environment for their clients. Questions encouraged and welcomed.
