Amanda Sowersby is a Hawke’s Bay artist, Art Alchemist, and founder of Art & Alchemy, an art and wellness school dedicated to creativity, embodiment, and holistic wellbeing. With a background in yoga teaching spanning many years, Amanda’s work now focuses on artistic expression, somatic movement, ecstatic dance, artistic therapy, sound healing, and transformational wellness practices.
Passionate about helping people reconnect with themselves through creativity, movement, and self-discovery, Amanda creates experiences that nurture balance, healing, and joy. Her offerings weave together art, colour, sound, mindfulness, and embodied practices that support deeper connection to self and community.
At the Yoga Festival, Amanda will be collaborating in a Somatic & Ecstatic Dance experience, inviting participants to move freely, release stress, and reconnect with the wisdom of the body through music and movement. She will also be co-facilitating a Balanced Energy Sound Healing Workshop alongside Aaron, blending sound, vibration, and energy awareness to create a deeply restorative and grounding experience.
Be sure to visit Amanda and Aaron’s festival space, where they will be sharing a beautiful collection of crystals, selected yoga and wellness products, art prints, and information about their creative, movement, and healing offerings.
