YOGA TEACHER TRAININGS
I have been teaching Yoga Teacher Trainings in Thailand, Spain and Finland since 2016. I founded my own yoga school and Training system called Somaya Academy in 2019 and it is under this umbrella I currently teach.
The trainings include gathered knowledge from years of teaching and training and also continue to evolve as I do.
I love sharing practice, the philosophy behind and all things related to Yoga and self evolution, expansion, transformation and I am glad you are here too: curious. Which in my opinion, is one of the most important qualities needed for the path of Yoga and Self Healing.
Welcome to explore the information about trainings, and please do not hesitate to reach out with questions and inquiries.

Kind Words
200HR Yoga training:
"I cant say it often enough how much I appreciate your way of teaching - aiming to let us discover our own potential and gently pushing us a little to step into it. Thank you so much for that! Knowing and experiencing over and over again that you are a teacher who sees the potential in her students and wants them to unfold it makes me deeply grateful to be a student of yours"
"Loved how often you integrated Mantras and chanting. Especially these practices were so freeing and powerful for me. And the CACAO and tea ceremonies- so special!! I appreciate your way of teaching so much. Working with Prana, embodying that the function of a pose is much more important than its form, building strength and then flexibility, creating that safe space for us where progress can happen, each single class always an inspiration - not only on the mat but also off the mat.
200HR Online Training:
"I had no idea what I really had signed up for when I emailed you about my interest. I now know though, this is onw of the best decisions I have ever made in my life. This is so much more than a training... And I hope anyone who is curious and feels a call, has the courage to follow that. Thank you, thank you, for all your guidance and one-one support and encouragement."
300HR Yoga Training:
"I have completed one of the most rewarding continuing educations I have ever attended - Breathe Yin with Amanda/Somaya Academy. If you ever have the opportunity to attend this course, I warmly recommend it to anyone who has an interest in Yoga, Yin or wants to look inwards, into yourself - it can change the way you perceive life. It did for me.!
