Amanda Winkler 200hr ERYT, A.S.F.Y.T, Yoga Tuneup(r), & Aerial Yoga Educator
Amanda grew up in upstate NY and dreamed of one day moving to NYC to be a fashion designer. In 2005 that dream became a reality, and Amanda spent the next five years immersed in the fashion industry. To balance the fast-paced lifestyle of her fashion career Amanda began practicing yoga, which quickly became more than just a hobby. As her relationship with her yoga practice deepened, she enrolled in Om Factory’s 200-hour RYT program. Since completing this program Amanda has focused her yoga practice and teaching strongly on anatomy and alignment.
She completed a 108-hour Yoga Anatomy certification with Jason Brown, and a Yoga Tune Up Level 1 certification with Jill Miller. Through the study of the human body Amanda aims to teach poses with a purpose, and hopes to inspire her students to play creatively in their own bodies. Amanda recently became a Lolë ambassador, and loves how Lolë inspires women to be strong and confident in their own skin. When Amanda’s not on the mat you can find her teaching high school students to design, working on her own creative projects, and spending time outside playing in the sunshine!
