AM V200 - June 2023
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! | |
