Mandy took her first yoga class in college nearly a decade ago; contemplatively she has been practicing ever since. In 2002, during a three-month Hatha yoga teacher training in southern Thailand, including Iyengar therapeutics, and yoga philosophy she immersed herself deeper into the vast ocean of yoga. In Thailand she taught yoga at a small resort. Upon returning from Southeast Asia she further deepened her practice for five years with the guidance and instruction of Timo Jimenez utilizing the Ashtanga-vinyasa system. In 2004 Mandy ventured to India to study Ayurveda and inquire into the originating lands of the ancient system of yoga. Mandy has continued to study with various senior teachers. She is currently a student of the Shadow Yoga practice under the guidance of Zander Remete and Matt Huish. Mandy is interested in the integration, sustainability and preservation of eastern practices to support western life. Mandy believes that within a devoted yoga practice, clarity is being sought, not perfection. She draws upon the wisdom of the masters and the sacred knowledge of yoga. She strives to bring this into her teaching both playfully and earnestly.

Mandy is also a practicing licensed massage therapist. Her knowledge of both physiology/anatomy and esoteric anatomy including the principles of Ayurveda enhances her teaching capacity. www.inspirehealingarts.com
