Amanda Niznik

Amanda discovered yoga at a South Florida gym in 2005 while working in the real estate industry. Initially, it provided her with a new kind of physical challenge but ultimately provided her refuge from a stressful career and an unhealthy emotional lifestyle. During subsequent years, she flirted with different styles of yoga and practiced on and off; then, after a life-changing medical event in 2009, she knew that she needed yoga to heal – she threw herself into her practice and hasn’t looked back since.

Yoga has taught Amanda the ultimate form of strength: to love herself unconditionally and lead with her heart instead of her head. Yoga has also taught her to be more present, less controlling, and to “live the questions now.” Amanda is a 200-RYT, and it is both an honor and privilege for her to share her practice with the community. She is also a writer for the local Brite Magazine, and a volunteer for the Travis Manion Foundation, which benefits wounded and disabled veterans and families of the fallen. She is honored to join the sparkling staff at Guruv Yoga and is, of course, eternally grateful to her teacher, Tymi Howard, for her continuing inspiration and guidance.

Peace, love, and lots of yoga!
