About the teacher: Amanda Ings has
been teaching yoga since 2003, and currently teaches at The Yoga Lounge in Canmore. She draws upon many styles of Yoga (Vinyasa Flow,
Anusara, Hatha, Yin, Yoga Therapy) to create a soft, therapeutic approach that
embodies the non-dual teachings of Tantric Yoga, as taught to her by her
teacher, Parvathi Nanda Nath. This element-based system she studies has the
capacity to unblock reactive patterns, creating a fluid body-mind-breath system
that stabilizes both power and presence.
Come, move & be moved, connect with the elements & add a whole new dimension to your practice!
