Amanda Richards
Amanda is certified in Yin yoga by Joe Barnett, and has been teaching Yin exclusively since October 2017, and practicing various forms of yoga for over 25 years. The focus of her teaching is to nurture the body and mind – increasing flexibility & mobility, releasing stress & tension and cultivating a strong and calm mind. So much of our daily attention is focused outwards. In the practice of Yin yoga, we find balance by bringing our attention inwards, using our senses to guide us on an inquiry & inner exploration. By increasing our awareness of the breath, sensations in the body & mind and the sounds we hear around us, we can more easily access a portal to presence and embodied stillness. It is from this place, when our minds are quiet, that our intuition speaks louder than our fears and we can begin to trust ourselves more deeply.
