Our Facilitators

Amber (she/they) is an educator turned holistic practitioner who is certified in both Reiki and yin yoga. Although she taught in schools for many years, her love for psychology and spirituality have led her to teach outside of the classroom. Reflecting on over a decade of practice, Amber shares that yin completely changed her personal yoga practice and she now feels that bringing this gentle, yet deep form of healing to others is part of her life path, and is honored to be able to share its magic. Her approach to yin yoga bridges the ancient and the modern by incorporating trauma-informed strategies, somatics, yogic philosophy, Chakras, Meridians, astrology, and more

Laura’s deeper appreciation for yoga began several years ago when she began to experience some of the vast benefits that come from a consistent yoga practice.  As her practice continues to evolve and strengthen over time, she has learned that yoga can be a powerful tool in aiding in her overall health and wellness.  Using the breath in combination with movement helps to heal and restore the mind and body, allowing each one of us an opportunity to deepen our connection to one’s true essence through self exploration.   Laura’s desire to share this knowledge with others motivated her to complete her RYT 200 hr certification through Bending Bodhi where she was trained in, but not limited to, vinyasa style yoga, using the combination of breath and movement to create and release energy throughout our entire being.  She aspires to create a safe and inviting environment where all individuals can feel comfortable to express themselves through their own unique style of movement and breath as they explore their mind, body, and whole self.    Her classes are all inclusive and designed with modifications to empower all individuals, regardless of age, gender, or ability, encouraging you to find your strength and balance both physically and mentally.  Though she is currently a teacher, she considers herself to always be a student, continuing to explore new studies, including trauma informed practices.  Her hope is to continue to share knowledge with others along her journey in a hope to create unity and peace deep within ourselves and for all those in our community.

Liz has been practicing yoga for most of her life. Her own experiences with early childhood trauma and an ongoing back injury deepened and informed her yoga practice. She is currently continuing her studies completing a 500 hour RYT certification from Siddhi Yoga. 

Liz’s teachings are inspired by mother nature, the divine feminine and the wisdom of the body. Her sequences and meditations guide students to step out of the thinking space and instead observe sensations. Through asana, meditation and self inquiry we can learn to listen to our inner knowing and connect with the energy that brings us all together. Her hope is to share the ancient teachings of yoga in a way that allows practitioners to honor their body and live from a heart centered space.
