Amanda LeClaire

My name is Amanda LeClaire, I'm born and raised in Ottawa Canada! I'm 24 years young and I've been dancing since the age of 4, which then led me to loving yoga! I've been teaching yoga for 3 years, but find my background in dance, and teaching dance made me a natural! I enjoy providing my students with a different experience in each class, by passing on a little bit of my knowledge to deepen their practice! My classes tend to have natural fluidity, and become a form of choreography all on it's own. I also enjoy leading my students through a Savasana, because let's face it, it's the best/most important part of a practice! I know that's what kept bringing me back for more in the beginning! And isn't that why people go on vacation?

I'm still dancing to this day, but find I need yoga to bring my body back to neautral, as it's more forgiving for a body at my age! I'm currently dancing on cruise ships, and have quite a bit of time off between contracts. I'd love to get back into the studio, but it can be hard when I'm only around for a couple months at a time now. I have a few fellow yoga instructors who have travelled to teach yoga on resorts and loved it. I do love the beach and warm weather. So mixing that with my passion for teaching yoga would be most wonderful!
