Breaking News: Ricciardo Announces Resignation and Departure from Formula 1 just today,…..see why

Amanda Baljsonis has become a familiar face for CBS Sports viewers and is one of the most recognised on-course reporters in golf, but she has a secret passion she juggles alongside her TV career

Amanda Balionis, a familiar face in sports broadcasting as a CBS football and golf commentator since 2017, is also an insightful yoga practitioner. From the peacefulness of her southern California home, she became certified in Baptiste yoga following an intense 200-hour training.

In a GOLF.com article from 2020, she elaborated on the benefits of yoga: “Through controlled breath and meditative movements, practicing yoga has taught me how to stay calm during difficult situations,” and “It was an intense 200-hour journey that transformed my mind because it forced me to sort through my own issues before having the capacity to teach others. I now teach whenever I can, and I continue to practice yoga at least a few times a week-the length of each session ranges from 10 to 90 minutes, depending on how stressed I am that day.”

Fast forward three years, Balionis embarked on an intensive journey to become a licensed yoga teacher. Despite describing the process as “exhausting,” she praised how it changed her reactive mindset and helped her focus on the elements of life she could control.
