GYMANDA

Namaste.

I am Amanda York, a Register of Exercise Professionals Certified Level 3 Personal Trainer (2007), Yoga Teacher (300 hrs, 2011), Mindfulness Coach, Neuro-linguistic Programming (NLP) Practitioner, Wellness Mentor, presenter & writer serving in London and covering ostly but not exclusively Greenwich SE8, Rotherhithe SE16, Canada Water SE16, London Bridge SE1, Canary Wharf E14 and Wapping E14.

I’ve been weight training since a teenager and decided to trade the corporate world for the health & fitness industry after suffering burn-out in my mid-30s . I sought to share my passion of holistic health, having healed myself. Now in my late 40s, I still practice yoga daily, weight train several times per week and take up different activities to suit each season here in the UK.

A few years ago I won first prize a Bikini Competition which took a lot of hard work, knowledge and focus and have entered both the London Marathon & London Half Marathons, reached Level 7 in Figure Skating along with attending many Yoga & Meditation retreats and ashrams all over the world including the International Yoga Festival at Rishikesh, India.

As a published author in Yoga Magazine, Om Yoga, Natural Health and many more, I strive to help people reintroduce themselves to themselves by sharing my extensive knowledge and experience. I've taught at the Om Yoga Show, Olympia and Alexandra Palace and have also been on TV sharing my Mindfulness and Yoga tips!

Clients who work with me, either online or in person, always come alive again with a sense of overall wellbeing in mind, body, and spirit.

Exercise, rest & nutrition go hand-in-hand in achieving a state of well being, to feel buoyant & energetic. When you are physically healthy, your mind will occupy a place of well being too.

My ultimate mission at Gymanda is to create a fun yet effective, holistic & bespoke training programme in whichever field you wish & to help you develop optimum healthy habits for the rest of your lives.

I hope to see you at one of my Yoga Adventure Holidays or seasonal yoga classes or online or as a 1:1 session
