The winning bidder will be awarded two one-hour private classes with Amanda Brown.

Amanda Brown was born in Ohio but moved to Costa Rica when she was six, so she considers myself more "Tica" than anything else. When she and her dad first moved to Costa Rica, they bought a house on a mountain top (in the rainforest) by the beach that didn't have electricity. Growing up in the middle of the rainforest shaped her personality in many ways. She learned at an early age how to connect with nature, and since she can remember, sunshine has been her greatest ally. Eventually, she moved back to the US to attend the University of Pennsylvania, from which she holds a B.A.

She never was one to exercise, so when she discovered yoga after moving to NYC, it was life-changing. She kept waiting to lose interest, but soon realized she was hooked. She was getting much more out of yoga than just  physical exercise. She was connecting and learning more about myself each time she practiced. 

Five years later, she holds a 500-Hour Certificate with ISHTA yoga and is registered with Yoga Alliance as 200-RT. IShe is also an ISHTA Certified Restorative Teacher. Yoga has transformed her physically, emotionally and spiritually and she is eager to share that with her students.
