Yoga in its simplest form can be explained as the union of body, mind and spirit for total wellbeing. It enables us to feel fully alive and aware.
By following a series of postures (asanas) and breath control (pranayama) blood is oxygenated, muscles are stretched, the mind is calmed, and the spirit enlivened.
Yoga can be practised by people of all shapes and sizes, ages and degrees of flexibility.
Yoga has many benefits including increased energy, improved posture and muscular structure, strengthened immune system, reduced stress, improved flexibility to name a few! On a deeper level yoga provides a means to cultivate inner peace, contentment and harmony. More that just a physical exercise, it is a means to realise your true self.

Pregnancy is one of the most creative times in a woman's life. It is full of changes and challenges, as well as pure joy. This transformation can be often wonderous but sometimes women can feel overwhelmed by emotional and physical issues. Prenatal yoga is a practice that can lead all pregnant women into a calmer more empowered place. The pregnancy asana practice helps to release stress that the changing body experiences. It promotes flexibility, strength and stamina, as it focuses the entire body on releasing and relaxing. Pregnancy yoga has many other benefits. The social group of a yoga class also supports the mother-to-be's sense of well being. In class, women share their stories in a safe and supportive environment. Also during labour, knowledge of yoga can give a woman many necessary and helpful tools assisting in minimising the anxiety and fear, leading to a more positive experience.
TESTIMONY
"Sending thanks and praise to you and your classes Amy. I had the most amazing, easy, natural birth on Thursday night when our little girl entered this world 7lb 11 oz and beautiful! A speedy 7 hours from onset of 1st contraction to delivery. The midwives all love your CD! All tucked up at home 6 hours later, loving the babymoon. It really was a amazing and enjoyable experience and I can definately say the yoga was a huge part of me being able to get into that space. Thankyou again and see you at bubs yoga xxxxxxx" Donna
Personal Yoga class: Thanks again for the session today Amy; I feel very soft, relaxed and clear. I feel that it has helped to change the way I think about my practice as well as dissolve some mental and physical blockages. It also gave me a new perspective on some of the standard postures. It was nice to be able to achieve this in a way that was focussed but still 'light' - I got a lot out of it, so thank you!
Best Wishes, Mark :-)
Yoga is and means many different things to people, but I can tell you this for certain, I've been attending Amy's Yoga Classes for the last 4 years, before, during and after the birth of my two children, and they are the BEST I've ever been to. Why is she so good you might ask, I guess.....you just know when you've met an Angel, and the more you are with her the more she'll enrich you soul. But don't take my word for as it was only last week after one of Amy's classes in Noosa, a woman whom I'd never meet turned to me and said " Now that's Amy's moved from Noosa to Byron Bay, have you found anyone else as good as her...my answer quite simply was no".So if you don't take advantage of her exceptional talent....we'll have her back up here thanks! Beck
Yoga with Amy, I still think about yoga with Amy when I think of deep relaxation. There was something so forgiving about the way Amy teaches, it's like it's oklay if you can't do the posture perfectly, it's okay if you only feel like moving your body this way instead of another way. I loved my yoga experience with Amy and loved the feeling I had long after the class. Annie
I've been doing yoga for about 20 years and have had many different teachers...but Amy's classes are the best! Amy's classes encourage strength, suppleness and centred peace which is enhanced by her intuitive and loving nature. Her classes always seem to tap into what the collective class group need for that session and everyone comes out beaming and smiling. Amy's classes are joyful bliss! Sam
