Amy adopts a creative and down to earth teaching style. Using asana and breathwork practices, her classes encourage the gentle opening of the body and calm the mind. A standard class will consist of a short centring exercise to relax the body and mind. Here we bring the attention to the breath. We then gradually warm up the joints and muscles before practising the main sequence designed to stretch, strengthen and open the body. Incorporated into every session is a 15-minute relaxation, an integral part of the practice that allows integration, rest and reset. Classes are designed with all bodies in mind. There will be adjustments and modifications available throughout. Everyone is welcome! Class etiquette and attire
Ahimsa or non harming is a fundamental yogic principle and the foundation for Amy's classes. Please remember to act with compassion towards yourself, others and your surroundings whilst attending. Please arrive at least 5 minutes before the class is scheduled to start. This allows time to set up your practice space without disturbing others. Wear comfortable clothing that will enable you to move freely. It is always nice to have extra layers for your relaxation. Bring a mat, blanket and water bottle to class. It is also very useful to have 2 yoga blocks or bricks, especially if you are new to yoga! Booking essential - Contact Amy directly at aowensyoga@outlook.com to reserve a space.
