After this course I started teaching chair yoga with two different organizations. I feel well equipped with the knowledge and experience I need to offer an excellent class. Can't recommend this course enough!

About Amanda Lawford

​I have been teaching internationally for over 20 years and have completed over 2000 hours of yoga teacher training including courses in chair yoga, yin yoga, restorative yoga, meditation, and Pilates. I am a Yoga Alliance Continuing Education Provider (YACEP) and also hold a Master’s Degree in Dance Technique Pedagogy and a Post Graduate Certificate in Creative Industries.

My soul has always been attuned to the rhythm of movement and the intricate language of the body. However, upon being diagnosed with a rare blood cancer called Myeloproliferative Neoplasm, I found myself navigating sickness, physical pain, and increasing anxiety.

Through the support of my yoga and meditation practice, I discovered a renewed sense of strength in both my mind and body. This helped me to manage the side effects of my cancer and calm the mounting anxiety that accompanies chronic illness.

Now, at the age of 52, I feel a remarkable sense of resilience in my body and mind. Yoga and meditation have infused my life with happiness, optimism, and a deep appreciation for the abundance that surrounds me.
