What People Are Saying
students & peers
Lyndie Greenwood
"Amanda's approach to teaching is warm, accessible and inclusive. Her Yoga Sutras class has genuinely changed my life. While I was going through cancer treatment, she was there to guide me and the rest of the class through ancient, practical [strategies] towards a more fulfilling life. When treatment was over, I was left with neuropathy in my hands and arms. I went to Amanda for yoga therapy, and again received her magic. She developed a morning routine for me, and taught me about what pain and neuropathy are in the brain and body. My symptoms have eased so much that I no longer need to take the nerve-pain medication my oncologist prescribed."

Through her guidance, I have gained strength I did not know I had, clarity when I felt overwhelmed, and hope when I felt stuck. She meets you exactly where you are with compassion, wisdom, and real, practical support. She has genuinely changed my world, and I am so deeply grateful for her."

"Amanda B'Hymer brings such clarity, warmth, and thoughtfulness to her work, and it’s impossible not to feel supported in her presence. Her knowledge and the care she pours into her work, practice and shop have been invaluable to me. I trust her wholeheartedly and feel grateful for the way she shows up for our community."
Elise Kost
Energy Medicine Teacher, Joshua Tree CA
"For over 30 years, I have explored self-development, consciousness, and many spiritual paths to holistic awakening, liberation, and an embodied understanding of The Sacred. For several years, I taught shamanic energy medicine for one of the most renowned energy medicine schools in the world. It now takes excellence, precision and grace, to inspire my attention in another teacher. Amanda not only exudes these qualities, but her genuine generous kindness, deep wisdom, vast clarity, and thorough experiential comprehension of what she teaches, moves me farther into my own breath and humility, expanding my vision. It is a joyous honor walking beside her, as a colleague and friend on The Path, a student of this magnificent life which Amanda translates exquisitely, heartfully, and with great integrity."

"Working with Amanda has been incredible in so many ways over the years. Starting with yoga therapy working to relieve nerve pain. My in person and home practice curated for me with her depth of wisdom and love is priceless. As my needs shift she is there to guide and I know she will be one of my teachers for years to come."

"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."

"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."

Film Editor, Yucca Valley CA
“To say that [working 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."
