Amanda’s retreats and her self-empowering yoga workshop series laid the foundations for my yoga practice and how yoga weaves into my life. By embodying yoga, and a love of learning and connecting, in her life, Amanda is a beautiful guide – sharing her knowledge, wisdom and encouragement in an open accessible way. Those she collaborates with truly enrich the experience. And her underlying sense of fun will always bring some sparkle and lightness. I can confidently highly recommend investing in yourself with Amanda.
