ABOUT AMANDA ‘I began practising Yoga over 30 years ago and learned Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga from 1990. I loved the dynamic and flowing qualities of Ashtanga which complemented the dance stuff I was doing at that time. I experimented with Movement Ritual, Indian Dance, Contact Improvisation, Authentic Movement. It was also in 1990 that I first came across Body-Mind Centering® and began studying it, initially in dance settings. At first I taught Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga, but by the late nineties I was experimenting with more creative ways of practising and teaching Yoga. I am a creative person – an artist and so the form of Ashtanga which had given me so much, began to feel constraining. I studied intensively with Donna Farhi in 2000 and on many subsequent trainings. Her work includes integration of universal movement patterns based on the principles of Body-Mind Centering®. These principles work brilliantly with Yoga because they are so simple and can be applied to everyone and every style of Yoga. This way I can help students towards the development of embodied awareness and movement of the greatest ease, enhancing the practice of Yoga and maybe the living of life as well!' QUALIFICATIONS Amanda has diplomas in the following: British Wheel of Yoga Teaching, Integrative Bodywork and Movement Therapy (accredited with ISMETA), Jabadao Learning Through Movement. Also Advanced Teacher Training Certification with Donna Farhi and Erich Schiffmann. |
