Amber Young, E-RYT 500
Amber has been a much loved teacher trainer at Yandara since 2008. Amber was originally drawn to yoga to relieve her body from the daily aches and pains caused by sports injuries in her early 20’s. “It has been key to keep my body and mind in a place of comfort and contentment.”
Amber’s first yoga teacher was her mother, Mercy Ananda, a long time yogini and kirtan musician and part of the Yandara faculty. Amber describes her mother as “one of the most inspiring women she has ever known.”
For Amber, yoga is a way of life rather than a practice. As well as being a devoted yogini on all levels, Amber is an inspired surfer. She has learned to surf the waves of the ocean as well as the waves of life as yoga teacher, a householder, and a loving mother to her daughter Coral.
Amber’s teaching style has evolved over the years. Rooted in her background in fluid vinyasa flow and restorative yoga, today, she focuses on cultivating both stability and mobility in the spine and major joints. Amber’s classes are a blend of static and dynamic movements within asanas. She invites a slower, deeper awareness of the body as an integrated whole—and often weave in the healing power of sound.
Amber has had the privilege to learn from and teach with all the amazing instructors at the Yandara yoga Institute. She is also a certified Prenatal Yoga Instructor.

“If someone asked me to describe myself in three words i would say strong, silly and kind. To me, Yoga is freedom.”
