Milissa Roberts, RYT

Restorative Yoga Certificate

"A superbly organized class that covers all aspects of teaching and practicing Restorative Yoga. Without a doubt, she is the best yoga teacher I have experienced with tremendous respect for the learner. Her videos are an excellent example of showing techniques and physiology--her expertise and joy is enthralling. Certainly her written material is book quality and pedagogy perfectly organized; what an excellent learning opportunity in every aspect."

Jennifer R. Misterka, RYT

Meditation Certificate

"This is a beautiful meditation program to help people understand the different meditation methods, their histories and philosophies as well as practical advice on lifestyle, self-care, ethics, business aspects and its impact on anatomy and physiology. I really enjoy Amanda Lawford's courses. I find her soothing voice to be an added benefit for retaining the knowledge taught in a very relaxed manner. I never feel stressed taking her courses and I always feel like I've retained the information well."

Marina Church, RYT

Chair Yoga Certificate

“This course was very clear, comprehensive and useful. The instructor was patient, kind and knowledable. Was able to learn so much and directly started teaching a chair yoga class at the Senior Living community near my home to seniors and am still teaching to this day. I feel like I was prepared to teach chair yoga after this course. Thank you!”

Michele A Tampa Hoag, RYT

Yin Yoga Certificate

"I have taught Yin Yoga for over a decade (2-3 times per week), and I have to say, this course went above and beyond my initial training. The deep dive into each pose was fabulous (and I learned some modifications that I have never seen before, e.g., using a bolster to make Snail pose accessible to almost every student). Exceptional job Amanda! Even if you have taught Yin Yoga for years -- please do yourself (and your students) a favor and take this course. It is well worth the investment in time!!! Thank you, Amanda, for always going above and beyond with your course offerings."

NEW About Me

My Yoga Journey

About Me: Yoga, Resilience, and the Power of Healing

Welcome! I’m a certified yoga and meditation teacher, international educator, and founder of Inspire Movement Coaching Online Academy.

My journey with yoga began in my 20s during my career as a professional dancer. Performing eight shows a week, I struggled with chronic back pain caused by scoliosis. Seeking relief and healing, I turned to yoga, and it changed my life.

Yoga not only strengthened my body, but it also transformed my mind. It helped me overcome performance anxiety, manage stress, and build the emotional resilience I needed to succeed on stage and in life.

Navigating Cancer with the Support of Yoga and Mindfulness

Years later, when I was diagnosed with a rare blood cancer, yoga and meditation became essential tools in my healing journey. These practices supported me through treatment, calmed my anxiety, and helped me reconnect with a sense of peace, purpose, and inner strength during one of the most difficult times in my life. Now, at 52, I feel stronger and more grounded than ever.

 

Yoga and meditation continue to bring joy, balance, and gratitude into my everyday life.

My Teaching Philosophy & Credentials

I’m passionate about helping others tap into the transformative power of yoga, meditation, and breathwork to support their own healing and growth.

With over 20 years of international teaching experience, I’ve completed more than 2,000 hours of yoga teacher training and hold specialized certifications in:

  • Chair Yoga Teacher Training

  • Yin Yoga Certification

  • Restorative Yoga Training

  • Children's Yoga Teacher Training

  • Meditation & Mindfulness

  • Breathwork & Pranayama

  • Pilates Instructor Training

I’m a registered Yoga Alliance Continuing Education Provider (YACEP) and hold a Master’s Degree in Dance Technique Pedagogy as well as a Postgraduate Certificate in Creative Industries.

Through Inspire Movement Coaching Online Academy, I offer affordable, online yoga teacher training and continuing education, designed to be accessible, flexible, and empowering for wellness professionals worldwide.

Whether you’re beginning your teaching journey or expanding your wellness toolkit, I’m here to guide and support you every step of the way.

Living in Nature, Teaching from the Heart

I live in the heart of a beautiful rainforest in Australia. Surrounded by waterfalls and wild nature, I find inspiration daily for my personal practice and course creation. When I’m not teaching, you’ll find me hiking, swimming in local lakes, or simply soaking in the serenity of my surroundings.
