Amanda kindly answered a few questions for the Yoga Buggy Media team.
YBMT: Your yoga students love you Amanda! What are the ingredients in your special teaching sauce?
I’m just out there having fun and being me, a dash of fun, a sprinkle of laughter, relaxed, calm, genuine :)
YBMT: What led you to teaching yoga?
Things just kinda worked out...I started my teacher training to increase my own knowledge and then decided, well, might as well try teaching. I love yoga, so why not share it? Teaching kids was the next natural step for me.
YBMT: What recommendations do you have for new or aspiring yoga teachers?
Practice on your friends or look for shadowing or volunteer opportunities to gain experience. Don’t try to be anything but yourself when teaching. Use what you’ve learned from your training and from your favorite teachers but make it your own.
In conclusion: If you want a terrific yoga experience with a talented and lighthearted teacher, we recommend checking out Amanda’s classes.
