Classes by Amanda June Giannakos
Amanda has a long history with sports and movement. As a young girl, she practiced gymnastics and figure skating before moving on to a career as an elite junior tennis player where she first developed a foundation in strength training and conditioning. Amanda complements that dynamic experience with over 10 years as a yoga teacher with a strong focus on restorative movement.
In Amanda’s collection you’ll find a diverse range of movement, from restorative yoga, to prenatal movement, to stretching and creativity-focused workouts, to breathing and functional core exercises. Her classes balance effort with ease, making time for both high-level strength training and a quality of rest in practice. In every class she stays true to her core value of teaching movement from any starting point at any stage of life.
