Lost and Found! We will do posts here once a month on Fridays, so please look here if you are ever missing anything or drop us a note! Often times, water bottles, sunglasses, and yoga mats are left behind Currently, we also have a thick, black yoga mat and a thick black polyester, slim and trim, short sleeve women’s spandex top.

(Yoga mats will always be kept at the studio until their owners remember they are here:)

Drop us a line if these belong to you as they have been here since November. Hoping to find their home before March, when they will be donated.

Just comment or send us a message if any of these items sound familiar to you!

Meet Amanda, who kickstarts our Thursdays with her signature warmth in Align and Flow, before guiding Renew with a session blending gentleness into restorative poses. You can catch Mandy J. Yoga at 9:30 and 11 am today, or for those working then, please earmark her Tuesday nights at 6 PM starting in March, with Full Moon Restorative, followed by a four week beginners series.

Amanda Valdez, 200RYT has over a decade of personal practice and eight years of teaching experience. She completed her 200 hour yoga teacher training at PeaceLab Yoga in Grandville, Michigan, under the guidance of Melanie McQuown in 2017. Amanda has since pursued additional certifications, including Yin Yoga Teacher Training with Gioconda Parker (2020) and Rest & Renew® Level 1 Restorative Yoga Teacher Training with Judith Hanson Lasater (2024).

Amanda’s teaching style blends alignment-based Hatha, vinyasa, & peak pose sequencing all with a restorative finish. Each class is designed to foster mindfulness, balance, and self-care—encouraging students to build strength, move with intention, and find stillness when needed. Amanda believes yoga offers a path toward greater balance, awareness, and resilience—supporting physical, mental and emotional well-being.

Off the mat, she enjoys live music, travel adventures, time outdoors near the beach or in the woods, and comfy days at home in Pentwater with her husband and their beloved kitty cats.

Meet Amanda and you’ll be glad you did. Her classes are a wonderful way to stay consistent and connected to both your personal practice, as well as our yoga community.

Partner Yoga workshop coming up!

Partner Yoga Workshop:
Friday, February 13, 6:30-7:30 pm
$20, Guided by Lauren Sawson

Move, balance, and breathe together in this playful, feel-good class. We’ll explore supportive poses, creative shapes, and simple flows that invite connection, laughter, and ease in the body.

Come with a friend, a loved one, a sibling or your spouse- or be brave to jump in and meet someone new—this class is all about shared experience, not getting it “right.” Expect a lighthearted practice that’s accessible, adaptable, and rooted in moving together in friendship and community.

* Our guide has a commute to teach with us, so we will need four partner pairs registered by 2/12 in order to run this workshop. Email is to save your space and meet someone new to move with, or to snag your partner spaces alongside in the studio!
