Amanda is a happy and active member of her community. She is an educator, entrepreneur, podcaster, world traveller, Death Doula and Grief Companion. Amanda stepped into her first yoga studio in university, but her time in Australia is where practice became more serious. She completed a 200hr Yoga Teacher Training in Costa Rica with the Marianne Wells Yoga School in 2017. 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 also brings a variety of energy healing modalities to our team and is Amanda Rico's retreat co-host for Harmony!
