Amanda Ware discovered Yoga about 15 years ago, when she began practicing in Sydney, Australia at a Bikram studio. The practice has transformed her life both on and off the mat. As a former competitive gymnast and athlete she understands the importance of balancing work & play. She views yoga as an ongoing journey and is passionate about sharing her knowledge and energy with others.

She earned her 200-hour Yoga Teacher Training Certification in Kauai, Hawaii in 2015 along with a teacher assistant certificate; making hands-on adjustments a key focus in her classes. From 2015 to 2019 she continued her learning and teaching in Scottsdale, Arizona. There she worked for and was a Programs Director at one of the largest health clubs in Arizona. Amanda went on to be the group exercise director for the cutting edge fitness concept TruFusion. There she led multiple trainings and mentored different instructors. During her time at TruFusion, she was given the opportunity to lead a teacher training for 15 new instructors with one of TruFusion’s founders and creators. While employed by TruFusion she completed Tru Flow and Yin yoga training with master instructor Mark Balfe-Taylor from Las Vegas, Nevada.
Amanda has lived in Lubbock, Texas for 6 years. Recently she opened up Soul Yoga Studio and continues to teach and mentor. During the past 3 years she has led workshops for yogis and instructors around the city. Also, Amanda created a yoga teacher mentor program for people who were certified online during the pandemic but weren’t quite ready to take on a live class. This program led to teachers feeling confident and safe to lead classes. She consistently attends workshops and trainings to continue her education and growth as a teacher.
In addition to her yoga training she has an extensive background in indoor cycling, sports training, and other group exercise modalities.
