Balancing Passions: Amanda Hatfield on Fitness, Felines, and Transitioning Careers

The Modern Yoga Podcast

Meet Amanda Hatfield -- successful business owner, Mother, Wife, Cat rescuer and one of our newest additions to the Modern Yoga teaching staff. Listen in as Joyce and Mary Beth weave through Amanda's journey starting with gymnastics and how she first got into the fitness industry.
They get into the earlier and more chaotic times in Amanda's life, where she was balancing her career in cosmetology, coaching, being a Mom and starting a new business. She talks about the struggles of balancing passions and some of the sacrifices she had to make to get where she is!
As we wrap up, we delve into Amanda's teaching journey and her unique approach to yoga. We underline the importance of presence - both in the studio and in life. Lastly, we indulge in a fun chat about our mutual friend, Joe, and the concocted history we share. This episode is a perfect blend of laughter, passion, and some truly unforgettable cat tales. So, tune in, and let us whisk you into the world of fitness, felines, and a whole lot more.
