About us:
Dr.Amanda Bowen, PhD.
I am a Yoga Teacher with a PhD in Metaphysical Science, a Certified Holistic Life Coach & Spiritual Counsellor and Wellness Retreat Organiser, with 500+ hours of Yoga Alliance teacher training in India and Ibiza; including Hatha, Ashtanga, Vinyasa, Yin, Yin Yang and Aerial yoga.
I overcome many health issues and addictions by choosing the holistic route to get my health back rather than be drugged up on anti-depressants and unable to function. This fuelled my passion for health and wellbeing, not just physically but also mentally and emotionally. I left the soul destroying Corporate world behind with my only plan being to take a year off to get well!
Studying was my therapy and Yin yoga was that missing piece of the jigsaw I was so desperately searching for! The powerful healing benefits I received have been astounding and I just felt this strong desire to share what I’ve learned with others and make a real difference.
You don’t have to take as long as me to reclaim your life! Let me educate you on stress management and prevent the devastating effects it can have long term.
My unique style of integrating Yin yoga, practical brain science and ancient wisdom creates the perfect equilibrium for a healthy, happy life. All done in a friendly, caring down to earth manner, nothing too serious, we need laughter too!
Yin Yoga
Yin yoga is a meditative, healing form of yoga, working on a deeper level into the connective tissues and organs, lubricating the body, releasing toxins and negative emotions. It invites us to enter a space of stillness; combining the principles of Traditional Chinese Medicine and ancient Indian wisdom; it restores, balances and enhances the energy flow throughout the body, interconnecting every tissue and organ, through invisible pathways, removing blockages, the precursors to illnesses, working like acupuncture but without the needles!
Each organ has many energetic components that affect us physically, emotionally and mentally. Our bodies carry a record of all our experiences in our lifetime and all experiences carry an emotional charge, so that over the years any trauma, bad relationships, betrayals, stressful jobs and grief can actually affect our physiology by breaking down the immune system, leading to illness and disease.
It is really important to stay with this practice to help to release all the emotional baggage that we have been carrying around for so long.
