“Having just returned from Amanda and Jo’s Santorini retreat I cannot recommend highly enough. Their yoga styles compliment each other perfectly drawing on both the chakras and chinese medicine principles . The warm way in which they guide you through each session is second to none. The food we were served was nourishing and tasty. The Reiki treatment from Jo I can honestly say was so powerful. Already looking to attend next year!” Santorini, Greece 2020 – Paula Cornah, Wirral, UK

“I have just experienced the Santorini Transformational Yoga Retreat with Dr Amanda Bowen and Jo Crowder.
I was a little nervous about going, not having been away ‘on my own’ before.
What a fabulous group of people with a shared interest in yoga. The hotel was ideal for a retreat and the vegetarian meals were delicious.
Mandy and Jo are both so knowledgeable and inspirational.
The sessions were a mix of Hatha, Yin and Chakra,/Meridian work. I attend weekly sessions of Yin with Mandy on the Wirral so I had previous knowledge of her teaching style. She is amazing and has brought about so many positive changes for me.
The atmosphere on this retreat was caring, supportive and encouraging.
I came away feeling relaxed, re-energized and balanced.
What a fabulous experience.
Thank you so much Mandy and Jo.” – Lindsey Vernon, Wirral, UK

“I attended a retreat in Ibiza with Amanda and was so inspired by her teaching and passion. Amanda has a gift in the way she is able to engage you with the practice of yin yoga and her knowledge of the spiritual practice which she bases her classes around. I would not hesitate to recommend Amanda’s retreats and yoga classes and can guarantee a life-enhancing experience will be had.” – Helen Kiddle, London, UK

“Where to start? I cannot recommend Mandy and Jo’s Santorini Retreat enough!
Scared was an understatement the day we left for Santorini. I was determined to “feel the fear and do it anyway”! I was going on holiday, on my own (1st 3 days completely on my own), relatively new to yoga and had no idea what to expect from a retreat.
I need not have worried. The island is beautiful, the friends I made are lovely and Mandy and Jo are so knowledgeable, dedicated and friendly. Food was delicious, oh, and the yoga……. nearly forgot. Well the yoga was so relaxing and different every day. It went far too quick.Thanks for introducing me to the magic of yoga. You really do have to experience it to believe it”. – Jane Baker, Wirral, UK

“Yin yoga has changed my whole outlook on life & my thought process, I feel so much calmer & contented & my husband will vouch for me – it wasn’t something I ever dreamt of doing but it’s one of the best things I’ve ever invested in – we are so privileged to have Dr Amanda Bowen as our instructor as she is amazing & so dedicated in her teaching.” – Colette Ventre, Wirral, Uk

“The classes were fantastic. I learned a lot about yin yoga and discovered I could do more than I thought possible because of Mandy. Each pose was well considered and tailored to suit my needs. The support I received was helpful and positive. I have taken the lessons learned and have been applying them at home. A truly amazing teacher; inspirational, generous and talented. Highly recommended.”
– Rajia Khanan, London, UK
 
“Would definitely recommend Amanda as I’ve done 3 yin yoga sessions and I’m still going back because I want to, not because I feel I have to. I find it so difficult to sit still and stop my mind from racing but I think I’ve mastered the sitting still. Now to work on the mind. It’s a bit freaky as she’s speaking throughout the class and I feel it could be directed at me, but it isn’t as there are others there. She knows her stuff!”
– Jane Baker, Wirral, UK
 
“I have received amazing 1-1 sessions from Amanda in her intimate and peaceful studio. She tailors sequences to address specific chakras and organs, moving energy and stagnant emotions with long slow yin stretches, meditation and relaxation. The combination of her metaphysical and spiritual knowledge and experience provide a truly unique holistic approach. I would absolutely recommend her as a teacher, mentor and life coach, she goes above and beyond to develop your spiritual journey both on and off the mat.”
– Julie Clay, Manchester, UK
 
“Absolutely love Amanda and her yin yoga! Would strongly recommend to anybody. Have felt a big change in my life since I started her classes and am able to take her teachings with me and practice at home to continue the wonderful calm and peace.”
– Leigh Parkinson, Wirral, UK

“I went to Chiang Mai on Amanda’s retreat in January 2019. Chiang Mai, Thailand, January 2019

The whole experience was wonderful!
Luxury and serene accommodation and location, well planned active flow and restorative yin yoga classes twice a day overlooking the beautiful gardens or on the terrace, gorgeous food, lovely pool area and relaxing Thai massages.

Trips to temples, monk’s houses, local restaurants, cafes up mountains, flower and umbrella markets and to meet and trek with elephants close up and personal plus more! Most importantly remote places without tourists.

Reliable transport all arranged and fabulous hosts that made sure everything was perfect.
It really was one of the best trips I’ve ever been on and absolutely the best yoga retreat. Amanda’s philosophy and passion for yoga and mindfulness will change your life. I would definitely recommend to everyone and as I love her teachings so much I’ve also attended Amanda’s retreats in Ibiza and Goa. Both Fantastic! She really does go the extra mile to ensure that you get the most out of your retreat experience, whilst also making a very good friend too! “

– Julie Clay, Manchester, UK

“Knowing Amanda (Mandy) for a while, and doing lots of her yoga classes. I decided to book onto the Chiang Mai yoga retreat.  It was beyond my expectations.  The place was amazing, the hosts treated us like family and nothing was too much trouble the place was spot on very peaceful and tranquil and took my breath away.

Mandy is a lovely caring person and looked after us.  Her classes are very rewarding and everything is explained in detail.  Her attention to detail is remarkable, and she goes that extra mile. I came back from this experience a lot better, having been at a low point in my life, renewed invigorated and a lot more positive.

I will treasure these memories forever and often think back to that time when I am feeling low and it makes me happy. I would highly recommend Amanda’s classes and retreats.  I am really looking forward to her next retreat in Santorini which I have booked.”
