NAMASTÉ

Originally from New Zealand, Amanda has enjoyed travelling often, becoming inspired from her various adventures abroad. Now a Mama to two beautiful boys, her sons are a new inspiration, teaching her the ultimate lessons in patience and presence. She resides on a tiny paradise- Waiheke Island, with her little family and feels there couldn’t be a more amazing place to raise children, close to the sea with incredible nature at your doorstep and the most amazing, supportive community.

Amanda has been practising Yoga since her early twenties and has been teaching now for over ten years. Trained originally in New Zealand at Wellpark College of Natural Therapies, she obtained a Diploma in Yoga studying under some of the most inspirational and authentic teachers she has found. She is always striving to learn more and further educate herself, and feels it is her destiny to share this path and these teachings with you.

While Amanda was living abroad in London and during her time travelling in countries such as India and Bali, she has had many incredible opportunities to attend further workshops and teacher trainings. During her time residing in Britain she received her Barre qualification and worked closely with Catie Miller at Xtend Barre London, where she taught Barre along with Yoga, and helped launch the Xtend Yoga Flow program for their Flagship Marylebone studio. During this time she also completed her Pregnancy Yoga Teacher Training with Nadia Narain at TriYoga in Primrose Hill, London. Assisting women through this beautiful journey continues to be a great love of hers.

Amanda has a love for creative and original sequencing and is fascinated with finding new and interesting ways of moving the human anatomy. Her classes are often set to an inspiring playlist that takes you on a journey from start to finish, complements the class and uplifts your practice. Amanda has a fun and friendly approach to teaching. She loves to encourage her students to push their boundaries in a safe and enjoyable way and achieve things they didn't think they necessarily could, which influences what they do on and off the mat.
