About Mandy Brinkley Yoga

Hi, I’m Mandy. For over two decades, I have been guiding people away from the noise of "doing" and back to their own innate sense of calm and what matters most. Originally from the UK, I have spent the last 15 years living simply amidst the volcanic beauty of the Azores.

My approach to yoga has always been holistic and focused on far more than just physical postures. In recent years, my passion for the power of the breath has led me to train in Breath-Body-Mind (BBM) and Oxygen Advantage allowing me to bring these potent tools for wellbeing into my work.

Whether you join me online or at a global retreat, you will find a sanctuary of heartfelt support designed to help you release stress, regulate your nervous system and come home to yourself.

  • I feel that my eyes and heart are opened with the work offered by Mandy. Always enquiring and inspiring and offering a safe space to be with whatever may come up during the retreat.

  • Mandy’s teaching is so beautiful. Her love of teaching and her desire to keep learning herself means the retreat experience is always extremely unique and special. I can’t quite express how valuable I find the retreats. They always help me come back to myself & empower me with new knowledge and understanding of the practice.

    Katie C, UK

  • Mandy is a brilliant teacher, so well prepared, every session a delightful journey for the mind body & spirit.  She has a wonderful skill for reaching everyone in the group & offering different ranges & levels of practice for each individual to choose from. After a week of practices in such an idyllic setting I feel totally rejuvenated.

    Jayne R, UK

  • Mandy is one of the most authentic teachers I know. Mandy has an expansive toolkit to draw from (breath, asana, meditation, sound, ritual, retreat to name a few) and has an incredible ability to see and hold you in your practice. Whether in person or online, I have always felt deeply supported by Mandy's presence. During her teaching, her verbal cues are spot on, and often invite me (also a seasoned yogi and teacher) to find something new or deepen something in my own practice. When you practice with Mandy you commit to a deeper connection to yourself. And I'm so glad I met this incredible woman and teacher and I hope you get to as well!

    Rimi C, Azores

  • My Ischia retreat was a memorable experience I will cherish for life. A yoga retreat with friends old and new...in a beautiful setting. Mandy’s yoga style is a beautiful blend of yoga, breath work and mantras. She is extremely knowledgeable in yoga and in the human anatomy and also lighthearted with a great sense of humor.

    Linda B. Azores

  • I was welcomed with warmth and genuine care…Mandy Brinkley is truly exceptional, her expertise and passion were evident in every interaction. She created a safe, nurturing space for everyone to share, explore, and evolve. One of the most powerful aspects…was the sense of community. The connections formed during the retreat were meaningful and lasting. Leaving the retreat, I felt rejuvenated, more grounded, and with a deeper understanding of myself. If you're looking for a life-changing experience that nurtures both your mind and spirit, join Mandy Brinkley on her next retreat. I can’t recommend it enough!

  • Mandy’s deeply spiritual approach to teaching yoga helped me to slow down and ponder so much. 

    Susan O. USA

  • The retreat on Ischia Island, Italy, hosted by Mandy Brinkley, was a truly transformative experience. Mandy proved to be an outstanding teacher, skillfully guiding us through various aspects of yoga, including flow, breathwork, and meditation. The picturesque location added to the serenity of the retreat, making each session a true escape. I left the retreat with a treasure trove of new tools for daily life, and I couldn't recommend it more for anyone seeking a holistic yoga experience in a stunning setting.

    Marisa M, USA

  • My retreat with Mandy invigorated and rekindled my commitment to daily practice and meditation. The yoga retreat provided a safe and welcoming place to explore and experience the various offerings, such as, asanas, meditation, breath and energy practices, and yoga nidra. Most of all, Mandy provided a sacred space for quiet, individual contemplation and reflection, while at the same time fostering a togetherness of spirit by providing group lunches and time to share with one another.

    Bea T. USA & Azores

  • Practising 1-1 with Mandy is real and true selfcare...It is an opportunity to listen to your body, breath, flow and just be, and to be more conscious... I recommend to everyone to practise with her because she has the ability to propose practices that will help you in many ways. I am more conscious and more able to flow with life... Her guidance feels very natural and her good energy flows in every class.

    Susana E. Norway

  • Mandy is an inspiring and creative teacher. The variety and depth of her teaching means there is always something new to discover, and her guidance and encouragement to be playful, to be free to adapt and recognise what is right for each of us individually has helped me to be more confident in heart/mind/body. Although not a feature of her online offerings I remember from live workshops in the past that she also makes really good cakes!

    Judith D. S, UK

  • Words cannot express the beauty and joy that reaches deep into your heart from the time spent with Mandy on this retreat. Her teaching is wise and responsive and I was gently challenged to explore my practice a little deeper. Thank you, thank you, thank you for sharing such abundance with us in this very special place

    Vicki B. UK

  • “Spending time with Mandy was nourishment for my whole being. I didn't even realize how much my body and mind needed to rest until I was immersed in her lovely Yoga Nidras. It took a few days to land, and then I was blissed out by the simple beauty contained in her heartfelt offerings.”

    Lela D. USA

  • “I couldn’t have asked for a better teacher! Mandy shared her knowledge of and passion for yoga so generously with us. And the ladies on the retreat were such a joy. I have new friends around the globe.”

    Marybeth R. USA

  • Mandy is a marvelous and knowledgeable teacher. The combination of the beautiful retreat center, Mandy's sessions and all the wonderful participants made this retreat an amazing experience.

    Katharina K. Switzerland

  • The retreat in Portugal with Mandy was such a gift, I truly enjoyed every moment surrounded by wonderful people. Our time was a great mix of yoga, meditation, free time and pure relaxation. I can’t wait for the next one!

    Alexandra D, USA

  • Wow! … just what I needed to reconnect with Yoga practice, learn to trust my tired body, still my busy mind and connect with a deep sense of inner peace and stillness. Mandy made the Yoga sessions accessible to everyone in the group, offering a wide range of practices, asanas, sessions, and optional enriching activities. The carefully designed sessions were spacious enough to explore all the elements of Yoga in a safe and gently supported way. The retreat was ideal for solo travellers to meet and connect with like-minded souls through shared practices.

    Joanna H, UK

  • Mandy Brinkley is an amazing yoga teacher. You cannot go wrong with her. Peaceful, relaxing, real. A true retreat was offered from the daily grind. You should book with Mandy!
