TRU-Entrepreneur Speaker Series Features Local Alumna

As part of the TRU-Entrepreneur Speaker Series, Amanda Montgomery (’12) will speak from 12:30-1:20 p.m. Oct. 9 in the Doug and Diane Villhard Innovation Lab in Pickler Memorial Library.

A student-athlete at Truman, Montgomery competed on the swim team and earned a Bachelor of Science in biology. After graduation, she became a certified yoga instructor and pursued several opportunities related to sustainability, awareness of self and food knowledge while traveling both nationally and internationally.

Montgomery returned to Kirksville in 2017 and began teaching yoga classes to the community and at the University. She offered her first yoga teacher training in 2018 and opened Mystic Meadows Yoga in downtown Kirksville in 2021. She continues her personal mission of promoting a comprehensive awareness of self, both physical and spiritual, a more meditative lifestyle and an acute awareness of where food comes from and how it affects human beings.
