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
