Class Descriptions
Ashtanga Assisted Self Practice (Mysore): In these classes students build an independent Ashtanga self-practice based on the Ashtanga series of postures, beginning with the Primary Series. Each day we meet students where they are that day and share in their work to establish ease and steadiness in the postures, body and mind. The postures, their order and the breath which laces them together make this a powerful, healing practice. However, where the sequence seems rigid for the individual’s needs we explore together introducing props, krama and research into what is best in service of their constitution and experience.
Vinyasa Yoga: Vinyasa Yoga classes with Amy are suitable for all students of yoga who wish to marry breath and movement in a flowing practice with attention to alignment. Where required, postures are offered with plenty of options. Each session is themed around a different aspect of practice, from the biomechanics of back bending or hip opening to subtler focus on breath, the gaze or the energetic body.
Gentle Vinyasa: This is a low, slow, vinyasa class. We do about 1 hour of flow and then go into more floor based seated and restorative poses. There is an extended pranayama session, usually at the beginning of this class.
Restorative: These classes are based around offering deep rest and recuperation. The use of props and support is central to these practices.
Private classes: I also teach private classes in person at Ashtanga Yoga Edinburgh when visiting and Lime House Yoga regularly. Contact me to book either these in-person sessions or a Zoom one to one. One to one teaching is particularly useful for those with injuries or specific questions concerning practice.
