ABOUT ME

Amy Yoga

I started my journey into self healing whilst studying Psychology back in 2007. I was suffering with lower back pain, anxiety and depression which conventional medicine was unable to resolve so I began to search elsewhere.

 

I discovered the benefits of yoga at the age of 19 and my whole life changed. My back pain eased through the strengthening and stretching of my body, and as I developed an increasing awareness of my body, I found that this had the added benefit of helping with my mental well-being. 

​

After my degree, I went on to pursue work with students with autism. I implemented what I had learnt through yoga and meditation into my work and found that many techniques proved beneficial for the students. Basic breathing exercises, paired with engaging and relaxing the muscles helped to bring down those moments of anxiety. Regular repetitive yoga practice helped with awareness of where the body is in space. Meditation increased concentration. 

​

I spent time travelling whilst deepening my own yoga practice and interest into the wider benefits it can bring. During a stay in New Zealand, I took a Yoga Teacher Training and was fortunate to be given an opportunity to teach, enjoying this new journey from student to teacher. After teaching for a few years, I decided to expand my skills and take a course in Thai Yoga Massage and Reflexology. I took these news skills with me to manage a Yoga Studio in Japan.

​

Always eager to grow and learn, I decided to integrate a little more of my background in Psychology and I took a course in Life Coaching and NLP. Along the way I have also taken many other yoga related training, such as Pregnancy Yoga, Yoga Nidra, Myofacial Release and a few more.

​

Now together with my husband Mohamed and our little daughter Basma, we run small retreats in Mohamed's family village, in the mountains by the sea in Taghazout, Morocco. Mohamed is an amazing Moroccan chef and cultural guide, and I provide the yoga, meditations and massage. Together we make a pretty good team. When we are not busy with retreats, I have all my online offerings available, such as Zoom yoga and Online Life Coaching sessions. Check out my other pages or contact me for more information.
