Amy Manning
Teacher
Inferno HIIT Pilates, Vinyasa Yoga, Yin Meditation, Power Vinyasa Yoga, Fusion Yoga
Amy grew up in Airlie Beach living and breathing a life of fitness. Making friends has always been easy for Amy with her outgoing bubbly personality along with wanting to just help people where she can.
She has always had a passion for health and fitness so it is no wonder when she left High School, she ended up going to Griffith University on the Gold Coast to earn her Batchelor’s Degree in Exercise Science and Human Movement.
Amy returned home to Airlie Beach where her heart it is and eventually started a family where she has 2 beautiful girls who keep her on her toe’s day in day out with sports activities nearly every day of the week.
It was only a matter of time that Amy would find herself doing what she does best, Yoga!! She gives it 100%+ and if you are in one of her classes you will definitely come away feeling energized and wanting to come back as soon as possible.

Airlie beach is now where my life partner and I call home! We share the love for the ocean through sailing, swimming and fishing, so what better place to settle.
With years of teaching experience and a passion that's allowed me to connect deeply with my clients, I embody the essence of yoga.
Rooted in love for the practice, I live and breathe yoga daily, believing in its transformative power to heal and create space for growth.
Fun Fact: I love drinking tea and potatoes are my favorite food.
Join me in a safe and nurturing environment where every practice is a journey towards inner peace and wellness.
