After a few years sharing Reiki as a hobby I found a passion for sound-healing and so I decided to make a career change. It was then when I travelled to Nepal, where I had the chance to be part of a sherpa community in the Himalayas and to serve at the Buddhist Pema Choling Monastery. After that, I went to explore India and became a Hatha Yoga instructor. Captured by the beauty and the benefits of the singing bowls and other shamanic instruments I was then able to connect all my interests together. Upon my return to Mexico I decided to start an entrepreneurial adventure aimed at making meditation and sound-healing an affordable practice for everyone. Honored and grateful to life for being able to share space with great yogis in this edition of the International Festival of Yoga and Music!

Después de unos años compartiendo Reiki como hobby, encontré una pasión por la sanación a través del sonido y decidí hacer un cambio de carrera. Fue entonces cuando viajé a Nepal, donde tuve la oportunidad de ser parte de una comunidad de sherpas en los Himalayas y de servir en el monasterio budista Pema Choling. Después de eso, fui a explorar la India y me convertí en instructor de Hatha Yoga. Capturado por la belleza y los beneficios de los cuencos tibetanos y otros instrumentos chamánicos, a mi regreso a México, decidí emprender una aventura empresarial destinada a hacer de la meditación y la sonoterapia (sanación con sonido) una práctica asequible para todos. Honrado y agradecido con la vida por poder compartir espacio con grandes yoguis en esta edición del Festival Internacional de Yoga y Música!

Amanda Cimiano

I recently achieved a Bachelor of Arts in International Relations and Business Management from Oxford Brookes University. This nurtured my interest in the fields of Ethics and Environmentalism. Although I have practiced Yoga since childhood it has been in these recent years that I have connected with the influence that spirituality can have on our daily lives, and ultimately, on how we run the world. Which is why last year, I ventured to India to become a Hatha Yoga instructor. Upon my return to the UK I decided to start an entrepreneurial adventure called Greenfluencing where all these interests converge and come to live! And I feel very honored and grateful to life for being able to share space with great yogis in this edition of the International Festival of Yoga and Music!

Recientemente obtuve una licenciatura en Relaciones Internacionales y Administración de Empresas de la Universidad de Oxford Brookes. Esto alimentó mi interés en los campos de la Ética y el Ecologismo. Aunque he practicado Yoga desde pequeña, ha sido en estos últimos años que me he conectado con la influencia que puede tener la espiritualidad en nuestra vida diaria y, en definitiva, en cómo manejamos el mundo. Es por eso que el año pasado me aventuré a la India para formarme como instructora de Hatha Yoga. Regresando a Reino Unido decidí emprender una aventura empresarial llamada Greenfluencing donde todos estos intereses convergen y ¡cobran vida! Y me siento muy honrada y agradecida con la vida por poder compartir espacio con grandes yoguis en esta edición del Festival Internacional de Yoga y Música!
