Harrogate Yoga

I love Amanda’s classes and they are always one of the highlights of the week. They are very different from previous yoga classes I have attended which have sometimes felt like a slightly chaotic conveyor belt. Amanda creates the most relaxed, welcoming space with her very natural and holistic approach. She is really kind and clearly very experienced too. Each class feels like a hug and I always sleep really well afterwards!

Lessons with Amanda Latchmore add a new dimension to your yoga practice. A highly experienced teacher whose practice is informed by body mind centering and science as well as yoga tradition. Amanda often takes time out to explain why certain postures are useful anatomically, what those poses teach us and how to use them. Amanda teaches us to be aware of personal limits - paying attention to individual physical weaknesses or injuries. Amanda has been teaching for 30 years and has taught me for 15 years and in that time she has never stopped learning and developing as a teacher. She is extremely knowledgeable and each lesson is carefully planned to consider a certain aspect of yoga practice - for example, flow, breathing, building strength. Amanda is also a trainer of yoga teachers and our classes contain a real range of people from those looking for fitness or relaxation to trainee and experienced teachers. Her lessons are always interesting. Lessons take place in a gorgeous yoga room - there’s a scent of lilies and incense and beautiful music playing. Each class begins with a short discussion that leads into practice - inspired perhaps by a poem or a passage from a book - and ends with meditation and relaxation. Amanda provides mats, blocks, blankets and eye bags, so all you have to do is turn up and practice.

I've been attending Amanda's yoga classes for about 10 years now, and I'm still learning and feeling deeply nourished by her teaching. She never pushes, never judges, just delivers consistently high quality classes that gently help us to experience greater levels of connectedness and peace. She is very generous - both in what she gives through her teaching and through her general care for her students. Thank you, Amanda!

I started going to Amanda's yoga class 4 year's ago. Amanda is an excellent teacher and one of the things I love about the sessions is the advice on adapting different positions to suit everyone's different aches, pains and levels of flexibility. It is a very peaceful and friendly environment and I never fail to come away feeling more relaxed and energised. Thanks Amanda

Amanda's classes are friendly and supportive. Each student has the right amount of challenge to progress without overreaching their ability, and for me this has led to a sense of achievement as well as the other benefits of yoga. I look forward to class each week and emerge feeling exercised and relaxed!
