Amy

Amy Waring

Amy was first drawn to attend a yoga class in London as a teenager, where, transpiring to be the best thing for her, that one hour sparked an ongoing journey of learning and discovery for the next 25 years. As yoga increasingly became her ‘home base’, and was pivotal in her recovery from chronic pain following an injury, she took the step to become a yoga teacher and share the profoundly beautiful practice with others.

After completing her Yoga Alliance 200 hour and British Wheel of Yoga Accredited certificates in 2013 and ’14, and taking further training in therapeutic yoga, she taught in various settings; community centres, studios, in a hospital, and corporate offices, and went on to become a teacher trainer at Teach Yoga in London before its closure during covid. This included teaching CPD modules on yoga for joint health and arthritis.

Over the past 9 years, Amy has visited India where she has had the privilege to meet and learn from Yogis of the Himalayan tradition. Finding her second home in the spiritual heart of Rishikesh, she is honoured to be an ambassador for MPY.

Amy currently focuses on teaching within local services, her private practice, and retreats. Rooted in the tradition of Hatha yoga, her approach blends anatomical precision with creative sequencing; weaving through static and fluid postural expressions with the breath—helping to reconnect to one’s natural rhythm, and foster ease and expansion through an accessible, nourishing, and sustainable practice.

Megha’s journey into yoga in this lifetime began in the trying times of Covid, nurtured by the mystical atmosphere and profound teachings of her homeland. She felt called to delve deeper into the realms of holistic healing and self-discovery.

Megha’s approach to yoga is steeped in the classical traditions of Hatha yoga, with a keen understanding of anatomy and physiology, she guides her students with precision and care fostering a deep awareness of alignment and inner balance.

I recently completed a 200-hour yoga teacher training at Maharishi Yoga Peeth and it was an incredible experience! Himanshu and Madalina are very inspiring and knowledgeable teachers who made learning fun and accessible. I highly recommend this yoga school for anyone looking to deepen their practice or become a certified yoga teacher. Also apart from the yoga we had really nice experiences and I really enjoyed all the excursions in Rhishikesh! Himanshu and Madalina are the best of the best, and I can't wait to continue learning and growing with them in the future!

I just back from 200 hours TT, what an experience, was absolutely fantastic. Himanshu and Madelina are the ultimate dream team, they both work so well together making learning easier and fun to understand. They both have different styles of teaching which works so well and their knowledge is incredible. I was quite anxious as I’ve never traveled on my own or left my family for that length of time, well I will tell you, the 3 weeks went too fast, I could have stayed for six :) I couldn’t recommend anyone enough to book with them, the training is superb and enjoyable, learning fantastic skills to put into practice and teach when you return. I was very fortunate to be there during Holi, we had so much fun, lots of excursions, exploring the culture and celebrations. Quite simply, “They are the best so forget the rest,” I wouldn’t waste time researching other schools. This is the one ⭐️, I can’t wait to progress with more courses with Maharishi Yoga Peeth 🙏

I would like to wholeheartedly recommend Maharishi Yoga Peeth to all those who embarked on the path of yoga and mindful living. I was participating in 200 hours teacher trainings organized by Maharishi Yoga Peeth in Rishikesh in August 2022 and I can say that this experience became invaluable for me. First of all, I would like to note the professionalism of the teachers, their excellent education and individual approach to each student. As part of the learning process, the human factor always plays a very important role. The teachers of Maharishi Yoga Peeth do everything so that every class goes smoothly and for the benefit of each student. Also, one cannot fail to note the excellent organization of the schedule and the inclusion of wonderful excursions and activities that will be remembered for a lifetime. If you participate in school activities such as retreats and yoga teachers trainings, you can be sure of quality food, sincere responsiveness in case of questions and a high level of competence. Thank you Madalina and Himanshu for such a wonderful experience!!! Looking forward to attending more event organized by You!
