Hey Omies!

Bryana and Amanda have been recording classes at lakes around northern MN for the past few months. Think soothing waves and serene water backdrops. Pair that image with gentle and inviting yoga classes.

We are excited to announce this five week challenge, with pre-recorded on-demand classes available, and some live check-in opportunities for help with accountability. Most on-demand classes are between 20-30 minutes, with a few 15 min classes and a few 50 min classes sprinkled in. We wanted to create something attainable for all levels and folks with busy schedules. The past seven months have been challenging to say the least, and we hope this series brings a bit of stress relief, and lighthearted joy and connection into your life.

Upon purchase, all pre-recorded classes will be available to you immediately. You may watch and practice with them as many times as you wish after purchasing. We outline a five week plan for you in case you’d like to follow along and complete the Lakeside Series Challenge by December 1.

Amanda Imes

Amanda seems to be most herself when reading, writing, planning or attending a theme party, traveling with her husband, visiting glaciers, dancing like a crazy woman, laughing, and when outside. She melts (and complains) when the thermostat exceeds 80 degrees and plans her life to avoid large crowds, traffic and big cities. She owns and operates a paddleboard outfitter in Duluth, SUPerior Paddle, with her husband and french bulldog Loki.

She is certified to teach yoga through Core Power yoga.

“As a teacher, I’ve found so many interesting new friends on the mat. Like anyone, I have bad days. Life breaks my heart sometimes. However, I always do my best to bring my best version of myself to class as a teacher. I know that some of my students might be having a difficult week too, and that one hour on the mat might just be the hour that turns their week around. I have yet to make it further than 45 seconds into a class with a bad attitude.

Teaching fulfills me. I leave class feeling joyful. That is what yoga (and writing) do for me - they save my life sometimes. They are my secret lifeline to joy, forgiveness, groundedness, serenity- to the truest version of myself.

Can’t wait to lead you in journaling practice, crafts, silliness, and an epic yoga sculpt dance party.”
