Amanda Denton : Yoga Beat (Dynamic)

Amanda Denton has studied a wide range of yoga styles. Variety is the spice of life! She teaches with great enthusiasm, body awareness and compassion for the practitioner. Amanda grew up in Dorset and was from childhood fascinated by nature, dance and performance. She trained in contemporary dance at the Laban Centre (BA Hons), but after a riding accident turned her attention to the healing arts, qualifying in massage and aromatherapy. In the late 1990s, she discovered yoga and through the exploration of many styles (including Iyengar, Kundalini, Ashtanga and Sivananda), she travelled to India and trained as a Sivananda teacher (Yogi Siromani). Now living and practising in London, her yoga journey continues.
