Amanda says:
“Bright Skies classes are born out of my interest in embodiment and a belief that there is a movement style that suits everyone. Movement classes should be adaptable to the participants rather than participants struggling to fit in to the movement. I strive to create new and interesting classes, that meet a diverse range of needs and inspire people from all walks of life”.
“ I discovered yoga, searching for relief from a spinal condition 20 years ago. Since then, developing a practice that suits my physicality and individuality has become critical to my self-care routine, supporting me through various stresses, anxieties, and traumas. So, I have a very real and lived experience of the positive impact that ‘moving freely’ can have on all aspects of health and well-being. I have also been an avid dancer, more specifically belly-dancer, for fifteen years. I am interested in all forms of movement with ‘soul’ and my day-to-day practices are an integral part of how I approach life and the world. I believe in accessible movement that is ‘human’ and ‘has a heart!”
