Hello and welcome!
I'm Amanda, the heart behind Kind Green Hearts, and I’m so glad you’re here.
About Me
My journey into teaching yoga is deeply personal, shaped by my passion for understanding the human experience and my own path through chronic health challenges. As a RYT® 200 yoga teacher, my approach is rooted in creating a space where every student feels seen, safe, and empowered. Before dedicating myself to yoga, I pursued a degree in psychology, including studies in counselling and nutrition. This academic background, combined with years of personal practice, revealed the profound connection between our mental, emotional, and physical health. I quickly realised that yoga could be a powerful tool for integrating these aspects, offering a path to calm and self-compassion..
But it was my own lived experience with melanoma, and navigating fertility treatment and acceptance of (CNBC - Childless Not By Choice), that truly shaped my teaching philosophy. I understand first-hand the challenges of living with a body that sometimes feels uncooperative, the anxieties that can arise, and the deep need for practices that nurture rather than push. This has made me incredibly passionate about trauma-informed and accessible yoga. My classes are thoughtfully designed to honour your unique body and mind, offering modifications, choices, and an unwavering focus on feeling at ease and safe within yourself.
My aim is for Kind Green Hearts to be more than just a yoga class; it's a place where you can gently explore movement, calm your nervous system, and reconnect with your inner wisdom. Here, you'll find an atmosphere of acceptance, free from judgment, where you are encouraged to listen to your body and move in a way that truly serves you. I believe that everyone deserves to experience the profound benefits of yoga – a calm mind, a more comfortable body, and a renewed sense of peace. I look forward to welcoming you to our kind, green community
