About me
Hello! I’m Amanda, the driving force behind Return to Soul. Here, it's not just about yoga; it's about embarking on a personal journey that will stay with you long after the experience ends. Picture this—connecting with your true self, discovering passions that ignite your spirit, and forming deep bonds with like-minded souls. Return to Soul is more than a retreat; it's an immersive experience designed for personal growth, offering you the chance to learn new things, take a respite from the hustle of daily life, and embrace a sense of community. Join us in this soulful adventure, where the focus is not on ‘just’ yoga, ‘just’ surf or ‘just’ another retreat, but on the profound, positive changes you'll carry with you from the heart of this experience to the heart of your everyday life.
I’m a certified yoga instructor specializing in mindful movement and embodied creative transitions within Vinyasa yoga. My classes go beyond the physical postures; they're a dance between breath, movement, and yoga philosophy, designed to help you connect with your true essence.
I hold a 200-hour certification in yoga, complemented by 50 hours each in Yin, restorative yoga, and pranayama and breathwork. While these certifications have added incredible wisdom and growth to my journey, the most valuable and profound lessons have come from my personal practice, interactions with my students, and the teachings of other inspiring teachers I've had the privilege of practicing with. In my view, true mastery of yoga is a continuous exploration of the mind, body, and soul, forged through interconnectedness with the community.
