Yoga

Tune into the sensations of the breath and body

Amanda Stivers Yoga

Classes are taught in the Hatha Yoga tradition, where asanas (yoga poses) will be held for several breaths, allowing students to tune into the sensations of the breath and body, as each pose is practiced and refined, mindfully and safely, at their own pace.

Through Amanda’s encouraging guidance, participants will learn a variety of yoga poses, breathing techniques, and meditation practices. You can expect a fun, challenging, and ever-changing class. Each class will stretch and strengthen the body, build better balance, bringing better focus and flexibility.

Attending Amanda’s yoga classes will leave you feeling calm, grounded, energized, and ready to face your day. Students should bring their own yoga mat, yoga strap, and yoga blocks.
