Hi my name is Amy, I run Hot Air Rises Yoga. 

I am half Sotho (of the Lesotho region) and half English (of the Worthing region) I moved from Eswatini to Marlborough in Wiltshire in 1999 at the age of 5.

Really beginning my yogic journey age 18, a year later in 2013 I spent a month deepening my practice at Casa Zen in Santa Teresa, Costa Rica. Since that time I have been lucky enough practice with many different yogis from around the world. Both around the UK and in other countries, imbibing lot's of healing knowledge, which has helped me through the darkest and hardest times in my life and I cherish opportunities to share this with others, in hopes of helping them through their own personal struggles, both physical and mental

My yogic practice has always been a constant, receiving 200HR YTT with Om & Flow Yoga in Palomino, Columbia, in March of 2023, ten years after my first trip to further my practice in South America. I am registered with Yoga Alliance and I am now based in Stirlingshire county in Scotland, and surrounding areas. I hope to share my story and all I have and will continue to learn to help each other in this cycle of continual growth. 

There had been many times in my past where I have reacted in ways that have been so detrimental to my situation, caused no resolution and or harmed others either directly or indirectly. Yoga has helped me with emotional dysregulation related to trauma, with symptoms relating to my neurodiversity and repercussions of childhood isolation. It helped me through massive grief with the loss of my Mother to Breast Cancer at the age of 55 in 2009 and most recently my Father to Neuroendocrine Cancer in 2022.

Holistic health is at the forefront of my way of thinking about making positive steps on your personal journey to what improvement of your wellbeing looks like to you, to not only improve your physical and mental wellbeing, but to have a positive impact on the ways you effect the lives of those you know, those you love and those you have to share and care for this earth with🌍

I see everyday as a chance to be better and to get better✨

Feel free to message me if you have any questions, I love meeting new people and collaboration of ideas🍂
