With 17 years of teaching, a poetry degree from Columbia College, and as a board certified Physical Therapy Assistant, Amber guides students through yoga that heals both body and soul. Amber has a unique approach that weaves together the anatomical precision of physical therapy, the linguistic beauty of poetry, the ancient wisdom of yoga philosophy, the practical application of props and alignment, and the transformative power of conscious breathing.

Amber bridges worlds that too often remain separate. She believes healing should be both effective AND beautiful. She believes yoga instruction can be both therapeutically sound AND spiritually inspiring. She believes that when we combine medical knowledge with poetic wisdom, we create something more powerful than either could be alone.

FAQ

What inspired you to teach yoga?

The desire to share what I had received from the practice of yoga. Which included autonomy of my body, a sense of confidence that didn't come from competition, compassion for my thoughts, and a deep connection to spirit.

Who are your most influential teachers?

I am heavily influenced by Krishnamacharya lineage having completed many trainings at Moksha Yoga Center in Chicago. I am also influenced by Gabriel Halpern of the Iyengar tradition, Smart Yoga (Annie Carpenter), Jason Crandell’s postural yoga, and Para Yoga which is in the Himalayan tradition. 

How would you describe your classes?

A welcoming practice that offers support without prescribing, depth without dogma, and space to listen inward.

Why do you feel retreats are transformational?

I believe yoga retreats can be transformational because they give us the rare opportunity to step outside the rhythms of our everyday lives. Removed from the familiar, we become more available—to ourselves, to one another, and to the world around us. Supportive community, time in nature, unfamiliar landscapes and cultures, new foods, colors, textures, and rituals awaken the senses and gently shift our perspective. With fewer demands and more space to listen inward, we can begin to notice what has been asking for our attention all along.

What is your favorite pose to teach?

Right now I am on a crusade to get more glute engagement in every class I teach. We need more glute stability in yoga! Functional mobility is another favorite of mine.

What is your favorite pose to practice?

Variations of internal and external hip rotation that includes engagement of muscles.

Where are your favorite places to travel?

I love all travel! I love experiencing new cultures and traditions.
