Student Feature: AMANDA

What's your name?

• Amanda Connolly

What brought you to Liberty Life Yoga?

• I signed up originally for the classes with one of my best friends who happened to live in the building as well! We joined as a way to spend time together as well as to fit some zen into our busy weeks without having to go too far from home (a 10 second elevator ride is hard to beat)

What are one or two things that you LOVE about practicing with Liberty Life Yoga?

• I absolutely LOVE the instructors but especially love Sarah Memme. Unlike most yoga studios where I've always felt intimidated, Sarah always made us feel so welcome in her classes, and actually that's been my experience with all of the instructors and students alike! Coming to class I feel like I'm finally able to put aside my day and leave it off the mat when I step into the LLY classes, and that's a great feeling. 

What pose are you currently working with? Your favourite pose? Or a pose that you are finding challenging? Why?

• I'm always working on my Crow. My dad promised me he would join me for a class once I could hold it for 10 seconds, so that's my goal and I'm happy to say I'm almost there !

Tell us about your yoga journey...

• I've always practiced yoga on and off over the years but I've never found a studio or an instructor I've wanted to commit to, until now. LLY is so great, it's such a non-judgemental and open-hearted group of people both leading and taking the classes. By practicing twice a week I've seen such an improvement in not only my poses and fitness but my overall outlook and attitude.
