Amber our Yoga Instructor

I've practiced yoga since childhood, with my siblings, studying under my mother. Yoga was always a safe and happy place for me. I started studying seriously in 2000 in yoga philosophy, Hatha, Anusara, Astanga,Meditation, and mantra chants. In 2006 I started private yoga training for individuals in their homes or businesses. I've learned to reconnect with my body, mind, and spirit. I teach now in hopes to help others to find their path. Please join me for one of my classes on saturday mornings at 10am.
