Amber has practiced and studied yoga since 2005. After developing a personal practice over the course of 10+ years, Amber's practice truly began to develop after moving to Arizona in 2008. Over the years, she learned from many inspirational yoga teachers, attended various yoga festivals, and began to learn what her passions within her practice truly were.
After years of deepening her own practice, Amber decided to take her passion into the classroom and began the journey of becoming a teacher to others. Amber first completed her first Aerial YTT program in 2015 and after the opportunity to open her own studio presented, Amber decided to take the full step to completing her 200hr YTT in 2016 prior to co-establishing Elevate Yoga + Wellness.
Amber is now an eRYT 500 and a YACEP through Yoga Alliance. In addition, she has continued to deepen her knowledge as a teacher and was able to hone in on her passion for both aerial yoga and restorative yoga after furthering her education through a variety of continuing education trainings. She holds certifications in Hatha Yoga, Aerial Yoga, Aerial Restorative Yin Yoga, and Trauma Sensitive Restorative Yoga, and has completed additional training in Sequencing, Trauma Informed Yoga, and Restorative Yoga. She offers a range of class styles and has co-designed and offers yoga workshops, trainings and mentorship programs and is available for private sessions as well.
Amber is known for her calming practice, ability to take the time to connect with her students, and is able to understand each person’s individual needs by providing the best experience based on the individual. She has a keen attention to ensuring each student feels comfortable, confident, and supported in their practice and always helps each individual feel welcome. She has led over 2000 hours of classes, workshops and private lessons and served as a mentor to her peers.
