Amanda (she/her/hers) The lacrosse field was always my sanctuary. Then I took a yoga class, and very soon my mat became my sanctuary as well. No matter how often or how long it was between being on my mat, it always feels like coming home. After being a student for years, I took my 250 Yoga Teacher Training after returning to work following my first mat leave. It was a dream of mine for some time and I made it into a reality. I have dreams to deepen my teacher training, but after having 2 more kids (at the same time… yes, twins!!) life got a little hectic to say the least! I sit all day at work and I chase all day when I am at home, and yoga gives me whatever it may be that I need when I step on my mat. Some days it is a challenge, others it’s an opportunity to slow down, play with a new pose or find some quiet. As a teacher, I hope to offer to others what I have found on my mat - know that wherever my practice may take me that day, I always belong.

Hailing from India, which is the birthplace of Yoga, I have been practicing Yoga since my childhood. However, Life happens and after a long break, I started my Yoga journey again primarily during my postpartum recovery and since then, it has become a way of life for me. I believe, Yoga is transformative, rewarding and it endows magical results when it comes to healing mind & body. My teaching style is mainly rooted in Hatha and Ashtanga postures, focusing on spine flexibility, strong back & core as well as finer mobility. I believe the benefits of Yoga are not limited to the ones mentioned above, it has the power to cure numerous health related issues in your body. Through this practice, I would like my students to enjoy the benefits of a strong and disease-free body as well as a stress-free mind because yoga not only enhances physical strength and flexibility but also brings in mental resilience. I always consider myself a beginner and a learner. Therefore, I am here to share my learnings as well as learn alongside from this beautiful community.

Swaati’s parents immigrated from India years before she was born and they continued to keep their Indian culture and spiritualism alive throughout her life. What the Western world regarded as “yoga,” was culture, spiritualism and practices entertwined and infused in every day life for Swaati before practicing asana or entering a yoga studio.

She has always had a passion and interest in healthy living. After the birth of her two children, she came to understand the importance of care needed for her post-baby body and mind, and started practicing asana regularly. She knew her exercise and yoga practice needed to fit her health needs, but didn’t always know how.

When Swaati started teaching yoga, she realized yoga for pelvic health was what she needed and where she wanted to be!

She takes pleasure in helping her students gain confidence in movement and practice movement that eases their discomfort. Swaati is a lifelong student of pelvic health, yoga and the impact of the two on our mental and physical health.

Swaati has completed her 500-hour yoga teacher training, pre & postnatal training and yoga for pelvic health training.

She can’t wait to practice with you!

Jennine had the background of teaching various modalities of yoga for a decade before the practice of Kundalini yoga found her seven years ago. She feels a very specific enchanting and mysterious connection to Kundalini yoga that is unlike anything she had previously encountered through other forms. Jennine also recognized early on that music has the power to transform and unify people and has been manifesting a life that constantly calls sound and music to the surface.

Jennine’s classes are nourishing, creative and deeply inspired by the Naad (sacred sound). She feels honoured to hold space for her students to dance within a sacred oscillation - to become still and silent to access and listen to the intuitive voice within and to express, vibrate and open fully to the sound that longs to be sounded. You can be sure that you will be given the opportunity to chant your heart out in her classes. She feels a great reverence for gathering with others to amplify the collective creative consciousness and is delighted to be part of The Yoga Room community.
