Amanda Lytle

Amanda is a happy and active member of whatever community she is a part of. A natural born leader, she went to university for teaching in a traditional classroom, but it was her early exposure to travel as an exchange student in her teens and world travels afterwards that have kept the spark for exploration and movement alive. Amanda stepped into her first yoga studio during her first year of university, but it was her time in Australia that her practice became more serious. Her practice ebbed and flowed (no pun intended!) with her lifestyle and movements around the world. She completed a 200hr Yoga Teacher Training in Costa Rica with the Marianne Wells Yoga School in 2017. This journey, the practice of yoga, and the yogic way of thinking has changed Amanda in ways she cannot describe. The training was initially for personal growth, but Amanda has since found a love for sharing her passion for life and yoga while in the studio. Amanda is certified with her Reiki Level 1 & 2 and has her training in Tameana - Vibrational Crystal Healing, and brings these healing modalities and support to our team.
