Hi!
My name is Amberlea, and I have been practicing yoga for twenty years, and teaching since the summer of 2013. Since the first class I attended, I have tried many different kinds of yoga, and love all the different styles and forms, and the interesting fusions of styles that are being spun from the tradition of yoga. No matter what brings you to your mat, yoga is an amazing way to get to know and re-connect with yourself.
It was while traveling through Asia for almost 7 months that I completed a month-long, immersive teaching training program in Rishikesh, in northern India. It was incredible and life-changing! It was one of the most intense challenges I have ever undertaken, and I am so grateful for the experience of studying under Surinder Singh, Ashish, and Panday-ji.
(If you are interested in reading about my time in Asia, you can check out my old blog posts here.)
When I'm not teaching, I'm a graphic designer, and a published children's book illustrator.
