Hair Stylist, Joshua Tree CA

"I’ve been working with Amanda for [several] years and came to her [originally] with serious pain from a bulging disk! I felt safe and seen and heard from our very first session. My neck has healed and my journey is continuing!

The deep layers [of experience] that we discuss and work with are so helpful in my life as I believe we are always practicing. A true healer, Amanda holds the most beautiful space for me every week when I come to her and my mat. Forever grateful."

"We have been practicing yoga with Amanda via Zoom for several years. Weekly yoga with Amanda has proven to be an effective and body-friendly antidote to too many hours spent navigating traffic on the road or the internet. She has the skills and knowledge to lead us in a practice that works with whatever physical, mental, and emotional condition we bring to the session, and we finish our practice feeling calm, refreshed, and capable."

The Reverend Ms. Paula P Durrant

"Studying with Amanda has changed my life for the better. Her knowledge, kindness and skill in communicating the essence of the Sutras makes her a powerful teacher. She delights in engaging in both philosophical and psychological conversations that arise from the ancient teachings. Every time we meet I feel understood and I also learn and grow. Amanda is a superb resource in our desert."

“To say that [work with] Amanda changed my life is no exaggeration. When we first met, I explained to her that I felt like my abdominal core was missing. I had constant low back issues, could not bend down to pick anything up without bracing against a wall or a chair, and would often wake in the middle of the night with shooting pains from sleeping on my back. Amanda patiently guided me from a novice practice to where I am today - standing up straight, pain free, and with a strong, flexible spine. As a bonus to all of that, my heart is lighter after every session we have together because of her incredible spirit.”

"When I began practicing yoga for the first time ever, the world had just shut down and thankfully, Amanda was able to [offer online], tailored to me, instruction of breath and movement. Her insights into science, nature and spirit have helped me not only heal my body but to apply non-violent teachings inward and outward to every facet of my life. Honestly, I can say that I have never met anyone with such integrity, dedicated to the purpose of helping others as Amanda. Our weekly practices leave me restored, inspired and joyful and able to face and be part of this world and all of its experiences."

Disability Advocate, Yucca Valley CA

"Amanda is AMAZING!! She is so knowledgable when it comes to somatic breath work, asana and yoga philosophy. The combination of these modalities makes the work with her unlike any Yoga experience I have ever had.

She is so kind and truly understands what it means to hold space. I would recommend this practice as beneficial for yogis and non-yogis alike."

"My weekly online Yoga class with Amanda is the highlight of my week. Amanda’s enthusiasm and devotion to the practice of Yoga is infectious. I come away from class feeling refreshed and relaxed in body and mind."
