yoga in Gloucestershire since 2003. She completed in excess of 1000
hours training with Ranju Roy and Paul Harvey through The Centre for Yoga
Studies (formerly Viniyoga Britain). This extensive training qualifies her to teach groups,
specialise in individual teaching and the therapeutic application of
Yoga for individuals. It is accredited by the Association of Yoga

Amanda’s teaching respects the traditions of T.K.V. Desikachar and his father Krishnamarcharya. The hallmark of this tradition is the wise application (Vini) of yoga, appropriate to the person and their situation.

Testimonial
' Yoga is my time, the time for me to 'park' all the chaotic thoughts in my head and have time for me. My breathing relaxes, my mind relaxes, my body relaxes and somehow those chaotic thoughts seem not so chaotic after my practice. Amanda is an amazing teacher and makes everyone feel so relaxed and able to do the best they can.'
