Meet Amanda Borosak: Yoga Teacher at This Is Yoga
WHAT WAS YOUR INSPIRATION FOR BECOMING A YOGA TEACHER?
In all honesty, I don’t think that I actually knew I wanted to teach when I decided to embark on my teacher training journey. I was very familiar with the asana having dedicated a large part of my young adult life to my mat before moving to Australia, but it wasn’t until I re-established my practice here in Sydney that my curiosity to dive deeper was sparked. I wanted to learn as much as I could about the teachings of yoga as a whole for my own personal development which organically evolved into me sharing it with others.
YOUR FAVOURITE YOGA POSE IF YOU HAVE ONE?
Always a hard one to answer but if I had to choose one, I think it would be Trikonasana. It’s such a grounding and equally expansive pose that lends room for space, breath, strength...all the things! Taking this into ardha chandrasana and eventually chapasana...owwf, I love it all!
WHAT DO YOU ENJOY MOST ABOUT TEACHING?
Yoga is ever-evolving and I feel very honoured to be able to share what I know and what I am continuously learning it to be with others.
HOW CAN WE FIND YOU ON SOCIAL?
About Amanda:
Encouraged and inspired from a young age to live from a place of creativity and love, it was no surprise to those around her when Amanda decided to embark on the journey of becoming a yoga teacher. Growing up attending her Mom’s yoga classes in the suburbs of Chicago, she was enchanted not only by the practice itself but the calm, powerful energy in the room.
After a bit of self-discovery in her growing years, moving from state to state in the US and working as a massage therapist, Amanda made the bold choice to hop on a plane to Sydney in 2009 and never looked back. Completing her teacher training in 2010, her journey as a teacher and forever student has been an ever-evolving one, gathering knowledge and basking in each and every experience as if it was the first.
Amanda offers slow, strong yoga flow classes that encourage pulsation in stagnation and self-expression. Passionate about not only the physical practice but the deep-rooted philosophy behind yoga both on and off the mat, her students are likely to get a taste of this each time they step into the room.
