Amanda began her journey into yoga over a decade ago. However, it wasn't until 2020 that she realized the immense impact the practice of yoga was having on her life. She began practicing daily and knew this was the path for her after seeing the many benefits the practice was having on her physically, mentally and spiritually. After completing the 200HR Yoga Teacher Training program with Pranayoga Institute in Fort Wayne, IN September of 2022, she began teaching right away. She has continued with her training at Pranayoga Institute and is currently in the 300 HR Level 1 Yoga Therapy program. 

Prior to this path, Amanda spent 15 years as a residential real estate agent, helping and serving others to realize their homeownership goals and desires.  Amanda left the field of real estate in 2021 to pursue other areas of interest and to find her true passion.  Following the guidance of her intuition and diving deeper into the sacred practice of yoga, she has found the courage to pursue her dream of teaching and guiding others to find their own path to wellness through yoga and other holistic practices. 

Amanda started The Mindful Moment in mid 2023 and is excited to expand her yoga teachings into the community of Fort Wayne, as well as grow her online yoga offerings. Her side passion project is The Mindful Moment Shop featuring handmade jewelry, and other mindful items and gifts.

Amanda is passionate about yoga, loves learning and teaching, and will forever be a student.
