Amanda MacEachern
I didn’t find yoga, yoga found me. I wasn’t ready until I was ready, which happened to be when I joined Sherry’s yoga community a few years ago. My experience began with the physical practice and loving the amazing physical workout I received but when I started to notice my yoga life happening off of the mat, that’s when I knew I was completely devoted to this practice.
I’m dedicated to developing my own personal practice but I also have such a passion for bringing yoga into the lives’ of the kids I teach.
I want to share with them the tools that I’ve learned through yoga; practicing gratitude, staying present, finding compassion AND having fun!
My passions in life are traveling, cooking, being on the water and of course, YOGA! I am forever grateful for all my mentors at HY. xo
