Amanda McCarthy Searle - Studio Manager/Yoga Teacher
— Amanda was born in Halifax in 1980 and grew up in Fall River. Playing various sports throughout high school, Amanda eventually attended Bishop’s University to study business and play soccer. It was a knee injury in her final year that prompted Amanda to leave sports behind and venture into the new world of yoga. Initially unacquainted with the practice, Amanda was scared of the prospect of having to sit and meditate. Despite her trepidation, she fell in love after the first class and couldn’t get enough. Eventually Amanda travelled to Bangalore, India for three months of study with Mr. Viswanatha (Masterji), which included Mysore practice 6 days a week, pranayma at noon, evening chanting, and the study of philosophy and anatomy. Upon returning to Halifax in December 2004, Amanda completed a second teacher-training program and kick-started her official teaching career. Amanda is now a certified Holistic Nutrition Consultant with experience in Colon Hydrotherapy, and she continues to be grateful for the opportunity to practice and study with wonderful yogis in Halifax including David Williams, Tim Miller, Mark Darby, Hart Lazer, and Cindy Lee.
