She invokes practical wisdom with her deep understanding of the wisdom of Yoga. She is a Yoga Alliance registered Yoga instructor with a conscious study of Senior Yoga, Silver Sneaker Yoga and Gentle Yoga and Meditation. Meditation was her doorway into yoga. She began her formal study of meditation in the modality of Transcendental Meditation in 1976.

Amanda Oberbroeckling - Assistant Lead
Amanda will be teaching hands-on Anatomy and Asana sequencing and cueing Even before birth, Amanda was introduced to yoga as her mother, Melissa, Peaceful World Yoga founder, practiced asana throughout her entire pregnancy. As a child, Amanda was drawn to dance as a form of expression and exercise, and she trained as a dancer until she was eighteen. It was during this time that Amanda developed her interest in anatomy and physiology, and she began to learn how to tune into her own body, using this information to strengthen her dancing and avoid injury. Amanda’s yoga practice began to grow deeper, moving beyond physical practice, as she pursued her college degree. Learning to manage and overcome the stresses of a very challenging engineering program allowed her to realize the power of a well-rounded Yoga practice, and she has been integrating Yoga into her everyday life ever since! Amanda has been involved with Peaceful World Yoga from the beginning, helping in any way she could to promote and support her mother’s vision of building an inclusive Yoga community.
