9 Day 60-Hour Yoga Nidra Yoga Teacher Training in Uvita

Courtney is an ex-gymnast, spinally fused, 20-year yogi, Ashtangi, trained in India, with a gypSEA soul whose practice draws from ashtanga, Hatha, and Vinyasa. Her heart-centered approach evokes an understanding of interconnectedness through a focus on self-love, nature, and Seva (service). The intention being for her students to discover the light within that ignites their path to inner peace, the connection which opens the heart to universal love.

Yoga has been such a wonderful part of her life for over 20 years now, and this practice has helped her grow stronger, more flexible, and fearless, both on and off the mat. Yoga inspires her to live each moment more mindfully. She completed her 200-hour training with Sacred Hot Yoga Method and some advanced training in trauma-sensitive yoga, as well as several types of Reiki, Qigong, Taichi, and other healing modalities. She is also a 300-hour trauma-based RYT through Soulwork.

This first time she stepped on a yoga mat was the first time she pulled at a string that seems to be endlessly unraveling. Here she is, years later, pulling and unraveling, pulling and unraveling - only to remember that the work never really ends. This practice has given her power back - the power of being aware enough to learn in every moment. She learned that the only action between wanting to change and change is choice, that the ability to feel is a gift, and that this moment, right here, has all she needs to “know”.

The heart is the space in which Amber teaches as well as offers bodywork. She has trained and studied in many different styles of yoga and healing modalities as well as has been committed to her own personal practice. In each class, she brings a new intention to work on, and with these new intentions, she invites you to practice as you step off your mat. She believes the yoga mat practice is just the beginning. She has found ever-flowing freedom within the human body through the movement of yoga and surfing.
