The practice of yoga is a journey into the self and will deepen and enrich your life on all levels. Through yoga we experience increased energy levels; good physical health; develop mental clarity and focus; emotional calm; self-awareness as well as peace within.
As we become physically strong through the practice of yoga postures we also become mentally strong with increased ability to maintain focus and concentration. We strengthen on an emotional level and are more equipped to deal with life’s highs and lows where problems that once seemed overwhelming become much more manageable. From practices of finding stillness within, we find a connection with our higher spiritual self and ultimately live life more in-tune with our higher purpose. As well as we become more flexible physically we become mentally more flexible, less fixed and hard-headed; emotionally we become more open, less protected, more forgiving and loving of our self and others.
Amelia has been teaching yoga since 2003.
Pilates
Pilates is a physical fitness system developed in the early 20th century by Joseph Pilates in Germany.
Pilates called his method Contrology (from control and Greek -λογία, -logia), because he believed his method uses the mind to control the muscles. The program focuses on the core postural muscles which help keep the body balanced and which are essential to providing support for the spine. In particular, Pilates exercises teach awareness of breath and alignment of the spine, and aim to strengthen the deep torso muscles.
Amelia has been teaching pilates since 1998.
