Amanda Ramirez

As Amanda started her yoga journey, she kept feeling like she needed another tool. Her body was telling her to try something else. This led her to her first Tai Chi class at Greenville Yoga with Hector Munoz. She almost didn’t come to her second class. She began having a panic attack at home. She realized if she went to class she would be in a room of people who cared and she wouldn’t be alone. Within fifteen minutes, the anxiety left her body from head to feet. After that she wanted to know EVERYTHING!

She went to every class she could attend. Eventually, as Hector was ready to retire, he asked Amanda if she would like to learn to teach. Within the first month of learning this form of healing movement, she could feel a connection to the stream of people who taught this lineage before her. As she reflected on her decision to teach, she thought, “This practice has helped me so much in my life, how can I not share it with others?”

Amanda can be found here, at Downtown Yoga Greenville, Zen Rabbit Yoga and various parks around town. She is available for private lessons as well. Find her on instagram @nicelifephotography and message her for more info.
