Your Host - Amy Chilver

—> Amy has been practising Yoga for over 16 years. After the profound impact that Yoga had on her life, Amy trained as a Yoga Instructor to share her passion for Yoga with others.

—> Amy has over 800hrs of Yoga Teacher Training and spent 4 months in India where she experienced intense training in Advanced Vinyasa, Mandala, Mediation and Breathwork. Amy has also trained in Rocket, Restorative, Yoga & Mental Health, Sound Healing, Pregnancy & Post Natal. Amy has a Psychology BSc degree and she brings elements of her work in this field into her classes.

—> Amy’s classes always bring an element of challenge, play and calm. Amy encourages her students to connect with their own bodies and to make choices which work for them on that particular day. Whilst alignment focussed in her teaching, she emphasises the importance of ensuring it feels good for that student, and that there is no right or wrong in practice.

—> Amy’s aim is to hold a space for students to feel welcome, uplifted and with a sense of achievement. Amy’s favourite thing about teaching Yoga is the wonderful people she meets. Members of the community who join her classes are incredible and inspire her daily, and she can’t wait to spend some quality time with them at Autumn Glow.
