​

In December, 2022, during a snorkelling and free diving trip in Cozumel, Mexico, I was hit by a boat propeller whilst in the water. I was approaching the boat, the captain did not see/hear me coming, I heard the the engine starting and that's the end of my life as I knew it. I was hit by the boat's propeller which caused many laceration-type wounds across the left leg, groin including the femoral artery, lower abdomen; leaving a 30-centimetres wound that stretched from the vulvar area, all the way up to my hip. I lost substantial tissue on the left shin resulting in bone exposure as well as partial loss and fracture of the tibia and patellar tendon... The accident led to 7 life-saving surgeries including a femoral artery bypass after a blood clot, 14 blood- transfusions and so much more, doctors both in Mexico and the UK were able to not only save my leg but my life.

 

I write more in detail in a blog post called "You are a miracle" which is something doctors kept telling me. without a doubt this was the hardest time in my life, unable to walk on my own two feet for 5 months but with a lot of physical, emotional and mental rehabilitation, I was able to regain most of the strength and mobility the accident caused me to lose. I am now even more passionate about yoga and healing modalities that have proven to be successful as I'm beyond grateful to say, I am free from pain and continuing educating people on all that is yoga as I can say with all certainty, through lived-experience that it is absolutely healing.

Before finding yoga, Amor studied English Pedagogy at University for 5 years in order to teach English. Pedagogy is the science behind teaching. It is the study of how one learns best and what conditions facilitate learning. 

​

Her professional career as an English teacher started while living in Chile, and this made her realise that beyond teaching a language, she wanted to inspire her students to live healthier, happier lives and to realise the potential that lies within each one of them. She has been practicing yoga since 2007 and asanas (postures) makes only a portion of her yogic practice. She is a teacher who walks her talk and who is nurturing and caring.

​

Amor is not only a passionate teacher but an avid student. She has trained in most yoga styles and feels most inspired and nourished by mindful krama flows and yin yoga. She radiates her love of yogic texts, Ayurveda, Traditional Chinese Medicine & the 5 elements, fascia and more and shares this with all who see her regularly in her classes. 

 

With a functional approach to yoga, her “yang/active” classes encourage mindful movements in which traditional postures are combined with innovative transitions and different methods that support the development of the student’s mobility, flexibility, adaptability and strength. In her yin yoga classes, she guides practitioners not only through a somatic exploration but also through an cognitive and reflective journey, providing a safe haven for all.

In her classes, you can expect pranayama practices, guided meditations, yoga nidra, inspiring themes and much more. 

 

With heart and soul, Amor brings a positive, explorative, insightful and nurturing approach to the practice and classes and provides her students with a truly holistic view of yoga.
