Amy Baxter

Amy is the co-founder of Nectar, Yoga Teacher, traveller, lover of life, forever student and life learner.

Amy began her love for movement at the age of 4 taking up dance class where she grew up on the Central Coast, Australia. This passion later grew into a career. After completing high school she trained and majored in performing arts then went off to travel the world dancing and performing. Throughout her performing career, she dipped in and out of yoga as part of her rehab program whilst recovering from injury. It wasn’t until 2014 when visiting Ubud, Bali that she felt a deep love and connection to yoga and wanted to deepen her personal practice and begin her yoga teacher training journey.

Amy trained under Annie Carpenter and completed Annie’s 200hr Yoga Teacher Training in SmartFLOW. Upon completion of the training, Amy felt a deep connection to the practice and began teaching 1-2 classes a week which very quickly grew into teaching yoga full-time in Sydney. In 2019 Amy moved to London to pursue her career and love for travel. She has now taught for some of the most renowned studios in the UK and famous buildings - London’s Sky Garden Terrace, and The Walkie-Talkie.

With teaching experience spanning across Australia and Europe, she has led Teacher Training Programs, completed 50hr Comprehensive Anatomy Course under David Keil, 30hr Yin intensive with Norman Blair, currently completing her Crystal Bowl Sound Healing training & has developed a thriving online yoga platform with an international community. Amy wanted to continue to build a community and create a space for students to feel connected and valued. This lead her to co-found Nectar alongside Janet. Their dream has been to create a supportive, warm and welcoming space where everyone feels seen and heard. What better way to learn and laugh with one another in the most dreamy locations on retreat!

Amy, alongside Janet, is the Lead Teacher Trainer for Nectar Yoga School. Growing up as a classic ballet dancer, Amy’s teaching style is known for its’ precision and playfulness. Her classes will make you ‘work’ yet embrace adventure on your mat. Through intelligent sequencing and fluid transitions her classes calm the mind and bring you to the present moment. Expect to be challenged, yet nurtured in an inclusive space where you can freely explore your fullest potential.
