Hello, I'm Annie.
I have been curious about movement and yoga for over a decade. Embarking on my first yoga teacher training in 2015 and having been lucky enough to teach thousands of people since! 1-1’s, classes, retreats, corporate events, workshops, festivals and online with my movement platform AMP. A dream come true.
Over the years and many educational trainings later, my teaching has evolved to reflect a practise that is science-based, sustainable, inclusive and above all fun! A blend of yoga, strength training, mobility, breath work and nervous system support.
An opportunity for you to re evaluate your movement to evolve both physically and mentally.
Get to know me...
When I’m not teaching you can find me with a crisp glass of white in one hand and a great book in the other. And when I’m not reading physical books I love to go for long walks in the Sussex countryside which is where I’m lucky enough to call home and listen to audio books with my imagination running wild.
I love to travel (I was an air hostess in my previous career) and have travelled to nearly 50 different countries! To be immersed in different people’s cultures and ways of life is something I will never take for granted and has provided me with the biggest and best life lessons and understanding of the world thus far.
My affinity with movement started at a young age with dancing and high kicks across the stage during evening performances.
An obsession with Bring It On inspired setting up a cheerleading squad both at school and within my local neighborhood ha! When I moved schools in my early teens I joined a competitive sports acrobatics team and I was lucky enough to be able to lease a pony in my early teens. When I was 18 somebody told me I wouldn’t be able to run a half marathon so I did - twice! I started lifting heavy in the gym and gradually movement became about punishment, punishment and a dislike for myself.
Qualifications.
It is incredibly important to me to always be continuing my studies to stay up to date with new findings and modern methods to be able to bring you the best possible lessons.

Amidst a deep depression, I stepped into a yoga class (spent most of it crying) and a realisation that this practise was about to change my life.
Yoga provided me with an opportunity to pause, to reconnect to myself both physically and mentally. I showed up to my mat not out of spite but out of self love and self care. Yoga provided inspiration and introspection, creativity and challenges, tenacity and resilience.
It led me to India 8 years ago for my first teacher training and has guided me to the here and now.
As I’ve gotten older, the more years I teach for and the more I’ve learnt about the body and the changes we experience as we age, movement now is a necessity and a priority encompassed with sustainability, rooted in science and most importantly shrouded in laughter and love for this vessel that carries me through daily life.
The body is an instrument not an ornament.
