Hi, I'm Amanda — founder of Soulfully Amanda.
Soulfully Amanda was created from both heartbreak and deep love. After making the incredibly hard decision to close the doors of my studio at the end of the year, I knew I still needed to hold space for my students and my community. I spent two years growing that studio and poured every ounce of myself into it. It was only when I stepped away from teaching to support my health that I finally saw the truth. The stress of running a full studio on my own had slowly become the source of my health struggles.
I am completely in love with what I do and with the people who have trusted me with their practice. That love is what guided me to create a space where my offerings can still be found and where I can continue showing up fully and wholeheartedly. Soulfully Amanda is that home. Here I offer in person and online intimate classes that allow me to stay connected with my community and continue teaching in a way that supports my wellbeing. It gives me the freedom to focus on the heart of my work without carrying the weight of every other hat that came with running a studio alone.
I am forever grateful for the last two years of my life, for every experience, every opportunity, and for the love and support of the hundreds of individuals who stepped through my doors. My mission is not over. In truth, it is just beginning. I am here to make a meaningful impact in my community, even if it is no longer within the walls of Soul Stretch Yoga. Yoga is so much more than the practice. It is about honoring exactly where you are on your journey. It is about honoring the rest that is needed in order to heal and evolve. It is honoring your health and everything you need to grow into the highest version of yourself.
For all of my students who have found Soulfully Amanda and who have been part of Soul Stretch Yoga's journey, thank you from the bottom of my heart and soul for believing in me, my vision, and my dream. Thank you for the unwavering support and love you have shown me throughout these last two years. It has been an absolute honor to meet you, guide you, and watch you blossom. I am grateful beyond words for every moment we have shared and for every step we will continue to take together.
