I had so much fun on Amanda's retreat to Peru in 2010! Amanda is such a kind, giving and FUN person who truly loves life, and it rubs off on people. And as a yoga teacher her classes are challenging, yet accessible. Cannot wait to go on another retreat with her!

★★★★★ One thing that can be described of Amanda's retreats is that you'll not only enjoy great yoga classes in beautiful settings all over the world, you'll have loads of fun and adventure! I have experienced something new on each retreat I've attended. I have gone rock climbing in Peru, hiked up a volcano in Guatemala, went diving and on a 3 day safari in Africa, and learned to surf in Nicaragua. Amanda is one of the sweetest souls I've eve known. As a teacher, she is gifted and nurturing with a keen understanding of alignment and the subtle movements of the body. Her classes are dynamic, flowy, with intelligent sequencing. Having lead retreats all over the world, Amanda has the experience to anticipate the needs of every type of client. I can't recommend attending one of her retreats highly enough!!

I went on Amanda's yoga retreat in Tuscany in 2013 with my partner. The venue was sublime. We both enjoyed our time there immensely and left feeling rejuvenated, inspired and having made new friends and kindred spirits. Amanda's passion for yoga and spreading its positive benefits radiates out to all around her. She is a gentle, free-spirited woman with a wealth of yoga experience to offer her students. The yoga sessions were inspiring and supportive, and if any adjustments were needed she seemed to always be there softly adapting the posture to individual needs. We really hope to attend another Sun Salute Retreat in the near future.

WOW. I think that's the best phrase to describe both Amanda and the various retreats I've been on with her. Like a good craftsperson, over the years, her art just keeps getting better and better. Her knowledge base never fails to impress me. I fee like every time I take a class with her, I learn something new. I have witnessed my own yoga practice evolve time and time again under her guidance. Amanda also knows how to pick great retreat spots and her naturally caring and joyful personality has a way of bringing people together; the lasting friendships I've made at the retreats have not been few. I can't wait for the next adventure!

Amanda’s attention to detail makes her retreats a shining star in a sea of mediocrity. She cares about the experience of every one of her students, and she bends over backwards (literally!) to offer a spiritual vacation, as well as yoga retreat. She comes with a plan for fun things to do everyday but will also understand if your choice is to simply chill. Her classes are filled with the joy and expertise that she brings to every aspect of her life. She works hard to keep the prices reasonable and somehow still finds the time to make herself available to anyone who needs a little one on one. Highly recommended.

​I've been on several retreats with Amanda Dee. I had taken her classes for about a decade in NYC and I was fortunate enough to go with Amanda and about twelve yogis to Nicaragua for a week. I also did two more local retreats with her after that. I find her classes have just the right mix of playfulness and groundedness. Her manner is so comforting and her flow so great that you naturally push yourself to new levels without really feeling like you are "pushing". She is a lovely person to be around outside of yoga classes and I find that she attracts a really mature, but fun loving group. I recommend joining Amanda Dee for a retreat anytime, anywhere. Out of five stars, she gets ten!

Amanda is the sweetest person and her yoga retreats are amazing. I got to explore Guatemala, Nicaragua, and Tuscany because of her awesome research and planning. She finds beautiful local spots, leads a variety of movement classes, and organizes lots of optional activities, so at the end of the retreat you're both drunk on yoga and high on vacation fun. Her classes are thoughtful and inspiring, teaching you about anatomy and philosophy while you sweat, dance, or meditate. She takes great care of her groups, and somehow makes it all affordable too. So grateful to know her!

I have had the wonderful opportunity to travel with Amanda to Costa Rica twice, Guatemala and Peru. Each retreat had a unique mix of yoga, meditation, adventure, culinary delight and friendship. Amanda is truly gifted in creating an amazing community of love and laughter and shares her gentle kindness both as a devoted yoga instructor and citizen of the world.

I attended Amanda's retreat in Tuscany 2013. The setting was wonderful and the yoga sessions were great. Amanda is the best yoga teacher I've ever had - she puts a lot into her sessions. She is very attentive during class and is always giving helpful adjustments and guidance. She has a wonderful personality and makes everyone feel welcome and special. She would vary the program, there were some fun excursions too. I would highly recommend one of her trips.

AMANDA QUERIDA: Soy la Mama Argentina del viaje AFRICA 2012. Con los souveniers arme "MI RINCON AFRICANO" como PRESENCIA DIARIA en retina y sentir en cuerpo el ATARDECER. Del Oceano Indico, con su SOL dorado y el YOGA. En blancas arenas viendo el ir y venir de barcazas de Pescadores, ver mujeres de coloridas ropas, con redes en agua, obteniendo la comida del dia. Zanzibar: la isla de las especies. Kilimanjaro: con sus nubes y su nieve. El Safari: convivir. El habitat de los animales. Dar Es Salam: como "Broche de Oro", el "TRATO HUMANO" que a pesar de la pobreza en que lo dejo la explotacion, NO PERDIERON LA SONRISA POR LA VIDA... AMANDA: Gracias hasta el cielo, por la perfecta organizacion y SELECCION de lugares... Gracias por permitirme SER PARTE...

I've been on a few of Amanda's retreats, including a trip to Peru in 2010. Her retreats are the perfect mix of yoga, adventure, relaxation, and culture. We practiced yoga outside in beautiful nature, which was so different than practicing in a studio. Amanda is such a warm, loving, and knowledgeable yoga teacher, that she makes every moment fun!

Amanda is not only a loving, caring, and soulful being, she is a consummate and highly creative yoga teacher. As a musician, I was often in awe at her extensive skill of weaving in and out of poses seamlessly and artfully, just like a jazz musician improvises combining musical understand and soul. It is a craft with Amanda, and one she excels in. She is truly unique in this manner. Taking classes and doing retreats with Amanda has been life changing for me and I am forever indebted to her for sharing her gifts with me. She is a gem!

Amanda is one of the best yoga instructors, with a heart of gold and a very unique ability to even in group classes make you feel like you're the only student there. She is incredibly organized which is key for any leader of yoga retreats. But while Amanda is experienced in getting groups of people to show up on places like Machu Picchu, she is always flexible and kind, and adjusts programs where needed. Since almost decade ago I had come to Amanda's studio in Manhattan. Since that I have been following my Teacher to the several Retreats including Italy, Peru, Nicaragua and Costa Rica. Her spirit is felt throughout her classes. All the activities She plans during the retreats are appropriate and fun and set the right tone. If I could go to every one of her retreats I would book ten years in advance! Tatyana Cherkasets

I met Amanda when she was teaching yoga in New York and would always rush out of work so I could make it to her class on time. There are a ton of yoga teachers in New York, but Amanda is truly unique. Her classes are thoughtfully sequenced and challenging, with a keen attention to form, alignment and breath. I attended Amanda's 2014 retreat in Bali and needless to say, it was an amazing experience. Not only is Bali a magical and spiritual place, but everything about the retreat space Amanda selected was perfect. The food was healthy and locally influenced, the space was serene and beautiful and the staff were welcoming and accommodating. Aside from that, Amanda herself is such a kind and generous person. She really goes out of her way to make sure everyone is happy and able to get the most out of their experience. I can definitely see myself doing another retreat with her in the future!

Amanda is one of the most accepting and loving people I have ever met and I have found her to be a masterful teacher. At whatever level one finds oneself at, she is there with you. Whether you have never taken yoga or are a yoga teacher yourself, she inspires. Her retreats are more than just about postures. They are about union, the yoking of the body and the soul. They are also about understanding oneself and others and letting go of fear. She is highly educated in anatomy and physiology, so when you ask her a question, it comes from a knowledge deep within. She deals not just with the physical but with the realm of spirit, of how to bring a joyous spirit to the practice and to one's life. For me this is the essence of Rumi's poem "Spirit sees nothing to criticize". Amanda sees people in their wholeness and this is the gift she shares with others.
