Name: Amanda Pell
Age: 40
Occupation: Yoga instructor
Bbusiness/workplace: ONE Hot Yoga
Grand goal: Live an authentic life where I help people see the value in physical, emotional and spiritual health and well being
When not working, I … am playing with my family and friends, and taking care of my house and other responsibilities when I have to.
What I like most about Ocala: Everyone is so friendly!
Pet peeve: When people who got to the stop sign before me wave and tell me to go first.
Philosophy in a word: Perspective
My personal superpower: Finding peace in chaos.
If you could have a superhuman power, it would be … teleportation. My son says he’s going to invent it.
Favorite cause: Kimberly’s Center
Guilty pleasure: Pistachio cheesecake at Kayta Vineyards.
Historical dinner: Britney Spears right before she shaved her head. Because #freebritney
People who know me say I am … Not what they expected me to be when they first met me.
Biggest professional achievement: Bringing hot yoga to Ocala and seeing progress in my students.
Greatest personal achievement: My kids! I look at them every day and think, “How come I get to be their Mom?”
Favorite part of my profession: It doesn’t feel like work. It feels like I get to see my friends every day and watch them grow.
I indulge too much in … cute clothes that I never wear.
