My path to yoga is a tapestry woven from global threads, music, psychology, my own journey through healing my trauma and a deep desire to empower communities.
As a travel agent, I guide adventurers to explore new worlds, while my degrees in psychology and music tune me into the inner landscapes yearning to be discovered and empowered.
My yoga journey took root at the SoulWork Academy under the leadership of Adi Shakti in Costa Rica, where I earned my 200 hour RYT. Here I delved into the Akhanda Shakti Method, a dynamic practice pulsating with the energy of creation and learned to weave yoga wisdom into my classes, workshops, and transformative community events and retreats.
Back in the US, I soared in Space Wellness Institute's Aerial Yoga program, adding an element of playful challenge and artistry to my teaching. After this, I decided to make the pilgrimage to the yoga capitol of the world, Rishikesh, India, to study under my teacher's teacher, Yogrishi Vishvketu, at the Anand Prakash Ashram.
But yoga isn't just about pretzeling into poses. It's about healing, connecting, and building bridges. My Trauma Informed and Community Outreach certifications from Connection Coalition in Atlanta equip me to create inclusive spaces where everyone feels supported to explore their potential.
Through retreats and community events, I invite you to join me on an adventure. Whether we're stamping passports, sweating in a vinyasa practice, or finding stillness in a sound bath, my goal is to guide you toward your inner strength and unlock a sense of belonging.
So, pack your mat, your curiosity, and an open heart. Together, let's navigate the peaks and valleys of life, one mindful breath at a time.
Namaste, with wanderlust and compassion,
Amber Valentine
