As a dancer and choreographer, Amanda was initially drawn to yoga as a way to deepen her movement training in a non-harming and non-competitve way. She infuses play, detailed movement instruction, and self-expression into her classes and by honoring each breath, encourages everyone to show up exactly where they are. Amanda is also a passionate dance and theatre educator; she choreographs dance for her modern dance company Amanda Selwyn Dance Theatre, and brings dance and yoga to NYC public schools through its arts-in-education division Notes in Motion Outreach Dance Theatre. When we continue to show up, anything is possible, as we stand in the reflection of our own nature -- tada drastuh svarupe vasthanam. Boundless gratitude to the teachers and community of Lotus for your limitless spring of inspiration, love, and truth.
