Amy Manske

My name is Amy Manske.  I live in Breckenridge, Colorado.  I moved here 25 years ago to ski, and as they say, ending up staying for the summers.  I met my husband of 20 years here and we have two daughters, 15 and 11.  We also have two dogs, Miss "Patsy" Cline, a black lab/border collie and Mr. John "Dutton" a Shih Tzu. 

I like to do lots of activities.  I am very competitive.  I like to run, lift weights, mnt and road bike, climb, hike, paddleboard, swim, snorkel, ski downhill and cross country and of course YOGA.  I am an early morning gym girl, so when COVID hit, I had to find some home exercise apps which lead me to YOGA.  At first it was all about the Asana's but it did not take me very long to learn just how much more YOGA offers for the soul, spirit and heart.  I love YOGA and feel incredibly lucky to be able to teach/guide others on their mats. 

As a family we do lots of activities together including travel.  The beach is my favorite place and on our vacations, we usually end up on a beach, though this summer we did just get back from an off grid canoe trip in the Boundary Waters. It was an amazing trip.  However we usually travel in the Caribbean Islands and visit the Florida beaches.  One recent summer, we spent 3 months traveling the Caribbean islands via sailboat, ferry and puddle jumpers.  

I am currently the Senior Director of Operations for an Orthopedic practice.  I have held leadership roles for the past 20 years in the orthopedic industry.  Prior to my career in orthopedics, I was in the hospitality business as a restaurant manager, trainer, waitress and bartender.  I worked for Club Med in St. Lucia as the Children's Swimming Director and also flew trapeze for the team, as one of their GO's had to leave the island. 

I am a servant leader and a very hard worker.  I like to get things done and have a pep in my step. I love to create an empowering culture allowing for fun and dedicated work.
