Studying anatomy for many years with renowned teachers such as Leslie Kaminoff in 'Breath Centered Yoga' a therapeutic approach to yoga, using the breath as a starting point to understanding the anatomy of the body in depth, and Tom Myers, "Body Reading" understanding the individual needs of each body and working with the connective tissue (Tom is the Author of Anatomy Trains (Elsevier 2001) plus she has done many more trainings over the years.
Amanda's experience as a professional dancer and a licensed Thai Body-worker is reflected in her balanced teaching style as she weaves together her deep understanding of anatomy, choreography and bodywork to create a purposeful flowing sequence. Amanda is also the founder of Sun Salute Retreats and Sun Salute Studio |
"I was lucky enough to go on the Sun Salutes Yoga/Safari retreat in Tanzania. It was such an incredible experience, I can not recommend it enough. Well-organized with lovely accommodations, delicious food and jaw-dropping nature. And if you’ve never taken Amanda's yoga classes before, she’s one of my all-time favorites (and I’ve taken classes with so many amazing teachers in New York and Los Angeles). You truly feel the love and passion that she puts into every class. I can’t wait to go on another Sun Salutes retreat! Thanks!"

"When I heard about the yoga and safari retreat June 2016 with Amanda Dee I immediately knew I had to go. How could I pass up a yoga retreat in exotic lands with the opportunity to see wild animals roaming the Serengeti live and in person? This is the stuff dreams are made of! I had high expectations and was not disappointed. The place we stayed in Zanzibar was lovely and the island itself is wonderful. We had a nice balance of exploring, relaxing, and yoga with two excellent yoga instructors - one being Amanda. The safari part was every bit as exciting as I had hoped. I will never forgot spotting our first elephants, and then later giraffes, lions, zebras and so much more. There is nothing like it. I don't know how many people can say they went on vacation, lost all of their luggage and still had an amazing time but I can."
