Yogaroma with Amanda

I've been lucky enough to practice with Amanda for the last 4 years.She is always so positive and encouraging and adapts her classes for everyone, she can include more challenging practice for stronger students as well as making sure those less experienced or with mobility problems are working safely and to their level.I had a major life changing illness last year requiring long treatment and recovery. Amandas online yoga practice helped me so much during this challenging time. She was always very supportive and helpful, making sure I was comfortable every step of the practice.When I couldn't manage my usual class I joined her adaptive yoga class on a Thursday, which helped me feel I was still being active and in touch with other people. The gentle moves and her support aided my recovery I'm sure of that.I'm glad that we are getting back on the mat in person again, but the online classes were a lifeline in covid times.Amanda's a lovely, warm, experienced teacher and I had been searching for the right class for me for a long time before I found her. She's not in it for the money, as other people I've come across are, she has a genuine desire to encourage everyone to be as active, mobile, and inclusive as possible through yoga practice. She also has a warm spiritual personality that drew me to her and she makes her classes fun - even when they're challenging!

I have started my yoga journey with Amanda three years ago and I have attended her Monday classes, Workshops as well as various zoom classes during the pandemic. She's an amazing teacher, yogi and friend. Her wisdom is inspiring and during her class you can challenge yourself as much or little as you want or need to. I never felt better and Amanda's yoga classes not only keep me fit and mentally balanced, but also help me manage health issues like headaches. She's build up a lovely community as well. NAMASTE

I have practiced yoga for many years and have been very fortunate to have Amanda as one of my teachers. She is amazing!!Her love and dedication for both yoga practice and philosophy are evident in all her classes and workshops. She always shares her knowledge & experiences and encourages students to contribute too.Her classes are well structured and always hold a theme, therefore, providing an excellent opportunity for students to truly embrace asanas, meditation and relaxation whilst gaining an understanding of the meaning of “Yoga”.On personal note Amanda’s teachings inspired me to become a yoga teacher. I am extremely grateful for the support and encouragement she gave me.For those who practice on a regular basis life would not be the same without it. Therefore, I would encourage everyone to experience the benefits of yoga and attend a class with Amanda. Whereby, you will be taught by one of the best.

I started doing Amanda’s classes on zoom during lockdown in April 2020. I have been practising yoga for 35 years, 15 of which were as a yoga teacher, and I have found Amanda’s classes to be amongst the very best I have ever attended. She is a better teacher on zoom than most are in person. Her classes are extremely well planned, she teaches attentively and with well thought out adaptions for all abilities. She is innovative and always stimulating, and well grounded in yoga theory. I am looking forward to resuming in person classes with her.

I was blessed to have found Amanda 3 years ago when I moved to London in 2016. She has been my first yoga teacher as I moved to Uxbridge - lucky me to have found such a knowledgeable teacher.She explains the history behind the practice and covers a lot of theory as to why one needs to practice and how it benefits us. She has variations for all body types, so if a person can’t practice a posture, she will ensure that she modifies the posture according to the limitations of the person.I have been practicing for almost 10 years now and so glad that I get to learn something new from Amanda every time I attend her classes. I have tried her Monday evening class, Tuesday evening class, she used to have night meditation classes which has stopped which was excellent and I do miss it :), her saturday morning classes at Ruislip and her summer term classes along with a couple of workshops every year. Her deeper dimensions (mini retreat 3 hours) covers a lot of yoga postures, pranayama, some meditation with chanting and relaxation towards the end of the workshop.My sister-in-law who visits me from Singapore also enjoys her classes whenever she accompanies me.Her students are so kind and helpful that I was felt welcome very soon on my move. I have learnt some tips from her for my own home practice. It is fun too when she does partner postures during the workshops. She makes us challenge yet remaining within the limits of the capacity of the body.My deep appreciation to Amanda for allowing me to be a part of her learnings and practice. She is very accommodative.

I have been practising yoga with Amanda for a few years now and I am always learning something new. I attend the Monday evening and Tuesday morning classes at Christ Church Halls and enjoy both classes very much. Amanda is a great teacher and will always find a way to adapt the class to everyone's level. I always leave the class feeling totally relaxed and I know that my body and mind have benefitted greatly from the postures and breathing. I have made some good friends as well since attending Amanda's classes. If you haven't tried Yoga before, Amanda's classes would be the perfect way to begin and you will soon wonder how you ever lived without yoga in your life ! :)

Amanda is simply the best!I originally met Amanda through recommendation as my Pregnancy Yoga teacher. Post baby, I needed some relaxation and TLC time. I joined her Tuesday Morning class at Bailey Hall, Uxbridge and absolutely love it! Every class is different, I look forward to it, I don't ever want to put it off...infact, its the opposite and I'm addicted to it! Amanda is a very clever yoga teacher that explains things so neutrally, that each individual can interpret it in their own way; for their own benefit.The mixed ability class is just that, everyone pushing their own levels in each practice - my muscles, flexibility and core strength have massively improved. It allows you to grow, better yourself and for me personally bring peace and calm. My brain is very active and Amanda is probably the only person to make me work hard and sweat and then switch off my thoughts completely and relax! It boosts my physical and mental health and brings calmness and happiness to my life. I have Amanda to thank for that!

Yoga with Amanda has changed my life! I am everything that one would expect a yogi not to be - an older lady, overweight, inflexible, non athletic and osteoarthritic. I used to be unable to retrieve things from a bottom cupboard or the floor and was not able to get up off the floor unaided. Amanda was not deterred by any of that and welcomed me into an all abilities class. She is incredibly versatile and able to adapt the class to suit the individual. The improvement in my daily life due to the additional flexibility from yoga class is amazing! In addition Amanda prepares wonderful themed classes which go way beyond the physical aspects of yoga touching on mindfulness and mental health. Her caring and embracing attitude make yoga the highlight of my week. Thank you Amanda.

Having not been to Amanda's class for several years, on my return, she is still as great as before!, And continues to be so. Thank you.Always something new to learn!
