A little bit about me ...
"We can softly build strength without being hard on ourselves"

About Me
I am Amanda Roy! I am a certified yoga instructor and studio owner of YogAmanda Studio. I am based out of Norwich, Ontario, a small town a couple hours outside of Toronto. Here I am living the yogic path, running my studio, guiding and supporting my children and husband.
I am fairly new to the world of yoga - having done not much yoga other than a few yoga workouts. After injuring my back in healthcare, I had no other option but to leave my job and begin my search for something else. Discovering that there is so much more to yoga than a few workouts, my eyes were opened and I immediately knew that this was my calling. Yoga has guided me as I navigate through my own inner work and trauma, and strive for unity with the Divine.
I started my Yoga Teacher Training - an 8 month intensive online program in the Sacred Yoga Methodology - in September of 2021. I have since then graduated, started my own studio and would be honoured to guide you through your journey.
Fun Facts
I opened my first studio, YogAmanda Studio, in February 2021 and it is my heart's pride and joy
I have 4 children, 2 cats (Smalls & Smudge), and 2 dogs (Daisy & Fern)!
You will most likely find me practicing yoga, teaching yoga, gardening, reading sacred texts, and spending time with my family
Namaste!
My Philosophy
The ultimate goal for me to help my students to understand what Yoga truly is. Yoga is the realization of the true self, by transcending the mind, we dive deeper than the world around us to discover the truth of who we truly are. We begin to release the constructs, labels and roles we play in this life, and allow ourselves to be liberated from the illusion that we are separate, broken and disconnected.
We are infinitely and unconditionally loved. Your worth is untouchable. Open your heart to yourself, see everyone around you is just doing their best. In this world, spread love and kindness to all you meet.
