Your Host - Amy Chilver
—> Amy has been practising Yoga for over 15 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’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 favourite thing about teaching Yoga is the absolutely wonderful people she meets. Members of the community who join her classes are incredible and inspiring and she can’t wait to spend some quality time with them.

You do not need to know another person going on the retreat to book into a twin or dorm room. You will be paired with another person who has booked on their own as well. It is one of the most beautiful ways to meet people, I have made life-long friends from room shares on yoga retreats!
If you would like to be paired with someone specific, please let me know!
