Via the video and the live online classes you’ll learn how to optimise range of movement in your hands and feet, apply new found support from hands and feet to asana. And you’ll find out what the lumbricals actually are!Classes are slow flow style with a somatic approach, including PNF patterns of hands and feet, asana and relaxation.

This is what Justine Brooks says about the mini course experience: ‘I’ve been looking to deepen my yoga practice and learn new elements to bring into my personal practice for some time, so this short course was perfect for me. Amanda’s understanding of somatic processes, her breadth of training and experience is enormously impressive and she has much to impart for any yogi who wants to explore a deeper somatic awareness in their yoga practice. As a psychotherapist specialising in trauma, I find so much at so many levels in Amanda’s teachings and feel that this course has benefited me on a professional as well as a personal level.’

What is Yoga?
Very simply, yoga can mean ‘union’ or ‘focusing of attention’ – depending on the tradition of origin. However, through the practice of yoga, we aim to integrate mind, body and spirit, fulfilling our potential for vibrant good health. This includes a strong, supple body, clear and calm mind.
There are many ways in which yoga can be practised. Most people in Western culture begin with postures – asana, and work with the breath – pranayama. When yoga begins in this way it is known as Hatha Yoga. Some well known forms of Hatha Yoga are Astanga Vinyasa Yoga, Iyengar Yoga, Vinyasa Flow.
Amanda studied Astanga Vinysasa Yoga for some years: astanga meaning eight limbs, while vinyasa means ‘breath connecting movement’. Flowing movements synchronised with the breath are characteristic of ‘vinyasa,’ and also of Sun Salutations which are practised at the beginning of the Astanga series and in many of Amanda’s classes.
