As a yoga teacher Mandy is a safe pair of hands. She delivers her practice with thoughtfulness and intelligence. Her yoga is ever evolving and feels "alive" and always relevant. That is to say, in our ever challenging and uncertain world, she provides grounding practices that help to navigate these complexities and to hold true to core values. Over the years that I have worked with Mandy, whether in a class, 1-1 or zoom yoga nidra, I ALWAYS feel the benefits. Without fail she offers up her work in the spirit of generosity , curiosity and fun. And this helps to keep me engaged in my own practice with the same spirit
