Sandra Amos
Yoga Instructor
With a background as a massage therapist, when Sandra first started practicing yoga 14 years ago she was initially drawn to the physical aspect - stretching and strengthening the muscles. But the more she learned and practiced, the more she began to understand the holistic benefits for the whole mind and body. Sandra then decided to embark on yoga teacher training so she could share the practice she loves so much. She strongly believes yoga can benefit everyone in some way. and can't wait to welcome you to the mat.

Passing a month later with flying colours, we were delighted to have her join the team to begin her career as a Barre Instructor and gain experience within our studio. We have no doubt she'll make a fantastic instructor and we can't wait to watch her grow as she embarks on her first year teaching!
