Amanda Trevelino | Host
As student of the Kripalu yoga lineage, my teacher, Yoganand Michael Carroll, was a storyteller. He used myth and metaphor to share yogic philosophy and embodied learning. His descriptions of characters in the Bhagavad Gita, brought yoga to life for me; then taught me that all life is yoga.
I embrace various forms of yoga as personal inquiry, and I strive to create judgment-free environments for Self-awakening. In 2016, I founded Santosha Studio to offer the community a collaborative sanctuary for meaningful practice with an emphasis on uplifting the sacred feminine. Conscious travel expands that vision, broadening explorations of Self — physically, mentally and spiritually — as well as building life-long connections. As Anaïs Nin teaches, “we don’t see the world as it is, we see it as we are.”
Nothing makes me happier than inspiring people on a journey of expanding consciousness. As we travel together, we experience ourselves and our personal stories in entirely new ways.
