At Amani, we create welcoming spaces where our community and clients can reconnect with themselves through mindful movement and presence. We offer experiences that nurture mental well-being through yoga, breath-work, meditation, and nourishing meals.
The Amani Project’s mission is to make mental healthcare more accessible, inclusive, and reflective of diverse experiences while honoring our shared need for genuine human connection.
The Amani project hosts bi-monthly Yoga & Breakfast gatherings at The Capital on Bath in Rosebank, and offer private and corporate sessions by request.
Through The Amani Project, we also partner with organisations to develop wellness practices that are sustainable, impactful, and rooted in care in order to support healthier and more inclusive workplaces.
I am Thando Gold, the Director of The Amani Project.
I am a 200 hr vinyasa instructor with an intimate interest in teaching people how to breathe and how to regulate their emotions.
What I cherish most about this work is the reminder that we are all allowed to arrive just as we are — no masks, no expectations, just truth.
Wellness, for me, is not about perfection but about presence. Each time we step onto the mat, we bring pieces of our story — joy, grief, uncertainty, and hope. In stillness and movement, we meet parts of ourselves we never knew were waiting.
As a teacher, I don’t stand above; I stand beside. My role is simply to hold up a mirror so that in the reflection, everyone recognises that they already are what they’ve been searching for.
My practice and teaching are guided by the quiet promises of the mat i.e. surrender, presence, and truth. Through this, I hope to extend an invitation: a gentle nudge that says, “you too can come, just as you are.”
