About Retreats by Amanda
Hello – I'm Amanda. I'm currently living and teaching in New Zealand. My own journey with yoga began as a teenager when I attended classes with my mother. That introduction quickly ignited a lifelong curiosity about yoga that led to me becoming a teacher. Through the years yoga has helped me through low points, helping to lift my spirits and has opened my heart to a deeper connection with myself and the world around me.
I have learned many styles of yoga along the way. In my twenties I practised a very athletic form of yoga that was the fashion and this stronger form of practice led to some yoga injuries. It was a painful, though useful lesson for me, encouraging me to take another look at my practice and to realise that this path of hot, fast yoga wasn't for me. From then on I began a more gentle style, incorporating yin yoga, mindful breathing and other restorative practices.
I now offer people a slow, gentle form of yoga with an emphasis on body awareness and the interconnection of body, mind and soul. This way, each individual is encouraged to work at their own pace in a safe environment. We all have our own yoga path that we follow and it is always an honour and a privilege to help others find that path to wellness and wholeness.

- I have a diploma from the International Yoga Teachers Association (IYTA) 2002 and I have completed a volunteer role as course coordinator for the Yoga Teacher Training IYTA NZ (2017/2018).
- I started up a yoga practice for pregnant women called "Mums to Be" in Brisbane (2006) and a pregnancy course called "Pregnancy Health Yoga" in Bethlehem, Tauranga, New Zealand (2011).
- Now my yoga path continues with a keen interest in teaching aged people the benefits of yoga, especially restorative, slow yoga. The retreats I am currently creating bring together all my experience and knowledge to offer a deep and lasting experience of yoga its transformative and restorative power.
