About Yoga Instruction Leader for the Retreat:
Amanda DiGiovanna
Amanda began her personal Yoga practice at the age of 12 after her mother
heralded its ability to relieve her scoliosis and sciatica symptoms. The practice
stayed with her ever since helping through life’s trials and tribulations.
While studying to receive her Bachelors degree in Psychology from the
University at Albany she worked three years as an Emergency Medical
Technician for New York State and Medical Assistant at a Cardiovascular
Hospital. She also studied Natural Therapies at Lorenzo De Medici Univeristy in
Florence, Italy. “The most important thing all of my medical study and experience
taught me about good health is prevention. Yoga is a process tediously tweaked
over thousands of years and could not be a more wholesome approach to
prevention; Disease prevention and what I like to call "freak-out prevention".
Yoga asana (physical practice) tones the nervous system so you are not so
apt to "freak-out" over little things. It teaches the body to detoxify, strengthen,
align, relax and most importantly heal itself. Yoga philosophy teaches the
mind the tools it needs to face anything and emerge contented and happy.
Yoga is a specific science, laid out for the student to experiment with step by
step, unlocking an incredible power source latent in the human being. I try to
incorporate all of these elements into my classes so when you step onto your
yoga mat you will be encouraged to have your own personal experience, find
what works for you, and apply it to your life.”
After college graduation the theme of Amanda’s life work remained the same.
She wanted to help people, but its agents shifted slightly. She wanted to help
people prevent health problems, to teach people to find their peace, and how
heal their bodies from the inside out. In 2007 she graduated Sonic Yoga’s
Vinyasa Teacher Certification and began the website www.alotofbeautiful.com.
In 2010 she took the jump and opened Revolution Yoga a nourishing space with
superb instructors, supportive students, lots of smiles, yummy yoga flows and
loads of candles.
