Amanda Lynne fell in love with yoga around 2008. After becoming a mom of two beautiful daughters and years later, the stars aligned and she completed her 200hr RYT through Yogalution Movement in 2019. “Serious life changer,” she says. Learning how to allow yourself space in time to drop into the body and understand the breath is a blessing as well as a continuous practice. Her classes are fun and she hopes to hold space for you to experience and explore feeling comfortable in your own body. Come flow with Amanda! 

Andrew has practiced yoga for more than 25 years and is a yoga teacher, teacher trainer, and mentor. His training includes 200-hour and 300-hour certifications through Sundara Yoga and Wellness, along with 50 hours of Yin Yoga training with Bernie Clark. His practice draws on Iyengar, Vinyasa, and Yin yoga, as well as pranayama, Sanskrit, and yoga philosophy.

At Vive LA Yoga, Andrew teaches the Sanskrit module in the 200-hour Yoga Teacher Training program. His background in art history and religious studies informs his interest in yoga’s philosophical traditions and the relationship between practice, culture, and meaning. His classes emphasize mindful movement, thoughtful alignment, and adapting the practice to meet students where they are.

Andrew creates a welcoming space for exploration and connection, encouraging students to practice with attention and compassion—and not to take themselves too seriously.

Angel has been practicing yoga since her belly dancing years as a teen. Her dancing practice led her to find new movements through yoga. Over the years she found herself coming back to her mat again and again. In 2020 she was called in a dream to become a yoga teacher. She immediately enrolled in a 200hr teacher training in beautiful Costa Rica. Angel has continued to expand her knowledge and receive certifications in trauma-informed practices, yin yoga, and Ahimsa philosophy. Angel brings a fun and funky vibe to her classes, incorporating meditative elements, and tribal sounds. She believes her calling as a yoga teacher is to help her students awaken the connection to the ultimate bliss that is already present inside them.

the mat and transfer those lessons learned into daily life

Stephanie is a recent graduate of ViveLaYoga’s 200 Hour Yoga Teacher Training Program and found her way to the mat as a way to heal and transform. Her training includes Vinyasa and Power Vinyasa and her teaching style focuses on yoga’s definition as a moving meditation, breath connection to movement. Through pranayama, philosophy, and asana, Stephanie wishes to share yoga’s transformative benefits with others. 

Michelle first found her way to yoga as a young dancer searching for a movement practice to supplement her training. Early on in her journey, she discovered a much deeper connection to yoga that embodied movement, breath, meditation, and connection to self. Throughout her career in education, she found ways to incorporate yoga into her teaching with dance, fitness, and physical education classes. After years of hoping to one day become a certified yoga instructor, Michelle completed the 200 hour yoga teacher training at Vive LA Yoga. Michelle strives to offer classes that encourage practitioners to listen to their bodies. She holds a deep belief that our movement practice is our own and each day is a new opportunity to honor our bodies and move with intention.
