Amanda Smith

We are delighted to welcome Amanda to our team at Viney Hall as a Pilates Instructor, and particularly since she decided to train after attending classes with us here.

Originally from Essex, Amanda has a long background in the food and catering industry. She moved with her family and dogs to the Forest of Dean 3 years ago to open a holiday cottage and change the pace of life. To complement this change of lifestyle Amanda started Pilates at Viney Hall over 2 years ago and has been hooked ever since! She is now hoping to share what she has learned on her Pilates journey.

She has undergone the rigorous training provided by the Australian Physiotherapy and Pilates Institute (APPI) over the past year.  She has studied anatomy and physiology as well as the Pilates method, participated in, observed, and practiced teaching classes at Viney Hall under Veronica’s mentorship, and now taken the theory and practical exminations for APPI certification.

As well as Pilates Amanda loves being in nature and hiking with her dogs, cooking up a storm in the kitchen and collecting all things Moomin. She is also a very keen skier, taking any opportunity to get up on the slopes!
