I want to let you know how much I enjoyed the Candlelit Flow classes I took with Amanda this month. I was visiting from Boston, where I have a regular practice, and was thrilled to discover Exhale Studio! Amanda was absolutely fantastic! Exhale is fortunate to have such a knowledgeable and gifted instructor. The beautiful symphonic gong music during savasana made it truly memorable.

I am very glad that I got a chance to experience Amanda’s yoga class before she leaves for Austin. She is a gifted teacher with a contagiously joyful personality.
