Amanda McDowell

Amanda first came to the Gunnison Valley in 2002 to attend Western. She has left, worked, traveled and returned several times now. As a long time student of Brenda Flemming, she has gained a profound appreciation for the wisdom and vibrance BKS Iyengar has lent to the auspicious subject of Yoga. .She completed her first teacher training course in 2010 and finished another 6 month intensive study with Iyengar Yoga Center of Denver 2018. She has continued her education by studying with senior Iyengar teachers all along the west coast in the past several years.

She is excited to share some of the Iyengar tools and methods that help in the effort to maintain the razor’s edge of balance in our approach to daily contrast. With determined effort to expand our human potential tempered by loving acceptance and gratitude for ourselves just as we are, we will explore opposites and contrast to develop our ability to deliberately expand the peace within. Mostly, Amanda is excited to play and co-create in community. Play begets freedom and releases joy - so come rest in your own joy! Together we will address our needs in an innermost way with love and patience.
