Move with Intention 🪬📿🌗✨

Gypsy Rising was born from a desire to empower and uplift our community one yoga class at a time. The vision is to harness the power of the practice to make a meaningful impact in Pekin and beyond. Through a variety of meaningful practices, we hope to help people connect with themselves and awaken to their full possibility. A Gypsy Soul is a person who is full of energy and wants to live life in their own terms. They harness the spirit and rise from within. At Gypsy Rising, we want you to awaken to your own power and possibility. Amanda began practicing yoga in 2011 while living in Marietta, GA and received her 200 Hour Yoga Teacher Training in 2019 at OM on the River in Peoria, IL. In addition, she has over 400+Hours of Teaching Experience, 4+Hours of CEU credit for Yoga for Seniors and 4.5 Hours of IAYT (Yoga Therapy Credits) and is just getting started. She is a mother, a wife, a yogi and a forever gypsy.

The first photo is from the very first mommy & me yoga class I ever took…
The second is my girl now—11 years later—still moving with me.

I remember that season so clearly. Wanting to do something for myself, but also wanting to include my little one. That feeling is exactly why these classes live here.

✨ Only TWO spots left in our very first Baby & Mommy Barre class.
And yes… I’m already dreaming up future Baby & Mommy Yoga too 🤍

For the new mamas—this space is for you.

Today, our studio turns ONE. 🤍

When I opened Gypsy Rising Yoga last year, my hopes were humble… and if I’m being honest, my heart was full of fear.

What if no one comes?
What if they don’t like it?

What unfolded this past year has exceeded anything I could have imagined.

But my reflections have very little to do with the business side of things — and everything to do with how it feels to do something that brings so much joy and purpose.

I love seeing the same faces walk through the door.
I notice when someone hasn’t been in for a few days.
This space has become a beautiful little family.

I get to witness people surprise themselves, challenge themselves, and come home to themselves. And that is everything.

A few Year One highlights:
✨ We started with 3 teachers — and now this space is held by 9 incredible teachers
✨ We added Pilates (with more coming 👀)
✨ We grew from one Chair class to 6 Chair classes a week, with new formats on the way
✨ And yes… there are future plans quietly brewing

To my teachers: thank you for leading with heart, presence, patience, and care. Thank you for holding this space, for seeing our students, and for showing up with so much integrity. This community is what it is because of you.

To my students — thank you for trusting us, for showing up for yourselves, and for allowing this space to feel like home.

To my teachers, mentors, and guides — thank you for the wisdom and tools that shaped my own practice.

And to my family — especially my husband and kids — thank you for supporting this new way of life.

It’s not always easy… but having you in my corner makes every risk worth it.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU. THANK YOU.

Growth looks good on you.
And Gypsy will continue to grow as you continue to show up ✨

As a small token of my appreciation:
Book a FREE class on me via Momence.

✨ New students

✨ Meet Courtney Mickle ✨

Courtney brings the sweetest, most grounding energy—and I’m so excited for her to start leading you on the mat 💛

She’s kicking things off TONIGHT with Hot Vinyasa at 7p 🔥
Warm up before the chill sets in… and yes, you’ll sleep like a baby tonight.

You’ll also be seeing Courtney step into some Saturday Vinyasa classes—so be sure to show her some love and support as she begins this journey with us.

Help me welcome Courtney to the Gypsy Rising Yoga family 🤍

✨ Chair to Mat — 4-Week Series ✨

This series has been a long time coming. My hope is to run it a few times and eventually offer it as a permanent class.

Chair to Mat is for our Chair Yoga students who are feeling ready to explore more — without jumping straight into a full mat class.

We’ll use the chair as a key support while gradually introducing mat work, standing poses, and transitions to help you build confidence and comfort on the floor.

This series may be a good fit if you:
• Feel comfortable getting down to and up from the floor
• Feel strong enough to lift off the chair for poses like Side Angle
• Are curious about Downward Dog (or ready to learn)

To keep this experience supportive and personal, space is limited (max 8 students). The same group will meet each week so we can build steadily over the 4 weeks.

This series is intended for Chair Yogis who are brand new to mat practice. If you regularly attend mat classes, please sit this one out and help us make space for those taking this next step.

👉 Please read the full description before booking
👉 This is an additional cost outside of your monthly membership

If you’ve been thinking “I love Chair Yoga… and I’m ready for more,” this series was created for you 💛
