Amy
Founder, Pilates & Yoga Teacher, Restorative Yoga, Movement Coach
Hello, I’m Amy, a working mum navigating a busy world in search of balance. I often strive for perfection (the Virgo in me!), but these days I’ve become much better at embracing the reality that things don’t always go as planned.
Growing up in a busy household as one of six siblings, you might expect me to be a socialite up but I find joy in the quieter moments. When I’m not teaching, you’ll find me enjoying the outdoors with my family or enjoying quiet, cosy weekends at home.
My Journey
My journey into movement began with yoga, I still remember my first class. The experience sparked a sense of belonging, that felt like coming home.
Teaching came later, following a sabbatical around the world. During our travels, I encountered a back injury and discovered Pilates. Although, I had been practising yoga for many years, I realised that while my flexibility was great, my strength was lacking. Pilates introduced me to a completely new approach to body awareness. Initially, it felt gentler than my usual yoga practice, but it ultimately transformed the way I moved.
Training
I trained with Rachel Rafiefar, under the Pilates Foundation. Rachel was one of the first teachers to train with Alan Herdman. I later went on to train with the British Wheel of Yoga, followed by the 200hr Yoga Alliance certification. I’m continuously learning, and more recently, qualified as a restorative yoga teacher.
Yoga and Pilates are what keep me focused and grounded, even when I’m not teaching. They have taught me many valuable lessons: be present, be strong, fulfil your potential, accept your flaws, and to slow down. I am still learning…
