Bristol, England | UK 🌎

My journey with yoga began over 10 years ago when I was re-diagnosed with Arthritis in my knee and encouraged to practice Yoga as a way of supporting my condition. I fell in love with the practice, and a few years later, in 2016 at the age of 19, I found myself eagerly running off to India to complete my first 200hr training. Since then I have gone on to study and train with some incredible teachers, exploring a range of traditions, philosophies and styles of practice and am falling more in love with the practice of Yoga every day.

Reflecting on the AM YTT Experience

Why did you choose Authentic Movements for your YTT?
  I have been following and doing classes with the AM team for several years and have been wanting to do a training with them for years. I feel like Authentic Movements embody all the things that are important for me and my teaching and my practice. It makes me feel home.
How did the online training platform work for you?
  It was amazing. It look quite a bit of motivation, but the training was so thorough and so comprehensive that it almost didn’t feel like an online training. Incredible.
How has your teaching changed since completing the AM YTT?
  It has given me so much more inspiration as well as allowing me to reconnect to my practice. Inspire me in new ways.
How have you engaged with the AM community of alums and students during and after the training?
  Not as much as I would have liked, I helped to set up a UK/Europe Whatsapp group at the beginning of the training!
