Mandy Morell
Barnstable, Massachusetts
Mandys love of yoga began in a hot room on a cold night in Anchorage Alaska She took her first yoga class in but didnt really discover her love for the practice until her students came to her asking for a yoga club in At the time she was teaching high school Photography and English classes and knew very little about yoga Feeling unprepared she was reluctant to say yes to their request but as young people do they convinced her to try! Beginning with yoga DVDs and guest teachers the teenage energy and excitement for the club was contagious Wanting to do the best she could as their club leader Mandy started going to a local yoga studio and took a Bikram class It was there that she discovered her love for each asana and where she saw her body change and her practice grow with each class Soon she was going to many classes per week and after learning many of the asanas she branched out to a vinyasa flow class The high energy teachers made the dark Alaskan nights warm and inviting Soon Mandy was comfortable leading the yoga club and ending up teaching yoga to the high school American football team the swim team and even to the PE classes The club began to meet twice a week and even the staff joined as well The power of yoga and guided meditation was like a fire that had caught the student body athletes and faculty It was a joy she had not experienced as a teacher before and it spurred her to deepen her own practice She received her hour YTT in the beautiful city of Rishikesh on the holy River Ganges Mandy brings her high energy and her love for music into her classes creating a dynamic rhythm to the practice Mandy believes yoga is integral for physical and mental health and believes in the power of yoga to rehabilitate She hopes her students enjoy a good sweat and allow themselves to laugh out loud in each class.
