Yoga at Rising Sun Yoga For Every Body

I have practiced yoga for 30+ years and have found it to be a foundation for my own life and well-being. I knew that many of my acupuncture clients would benefit greatly from ongoing yoga classes but wanted to make appropriate referrals. I found Svaroopa® Yoga and it was a wonderful and very safe place to send clients.

I started attending classes myself and then took the teacher training. I have been teaching yoga classes since 2004 and in 2006 I completed the Svaroopa Yoga Teacher Training Program and became a Certified Svaroopa® Yoga Teacher (CSYT). I have trained extensively with Swami Nirmalananda Saraswati (formerly Rama Berch), the originator of Svaroopa® Yoga and I am currently enrolled in Advanced Teacher Training. I am also a Registered Yoga Teacher with Yoga Alliance at 500 hours.

Amy, CSBT. RYT

Amy began her journey as a holistic healer in January of 2000 when she attended a Massage Therapy Certification program at Bancroft School of Massage Therapy in Worcester Massachusetts. She is Certified in Therapeutic Massage and Bodywork and is also a Nationally Certified Pharmacy Technician. Amy began practicing Yoga in 1999 seeking the right style that would fit her physical, mental, and spiritual needs. Amy had a major spinal fusion for scoliosis at the age of 12 which resulted in scar tissue and chronic pain that was quite difficult to overcome. Following this surgery Amy suffered a major car accident in 2003 which affected the same side of her body as the spinal fusion did.

After experiencing many different styles of Yoga to help with pain Amy found no relief. Then in 2004 Amy took her first Svaroopa® Yoga class and had an instant love and appreciation for this style more than any other. Her joint pain and inflammation of the muscles were lowered so significantly from one Svaroopa® Yoga Class that she was hooked.  Her interest in this profound transformative practice continued to grow, and she began studying and teaching in 2006 after completing the Foundations course.

Amy currently continues her training under Swami Nirmalananda Saraswati (formerly Rama Berch) at Master Yoga’s training facility in Malvern, PA and has completed her 200 hour Certification Process with Master Yoga Foundation and as of August 2010 is a Certified Svaroopa® Yoga Basics Teacher (CSBT) and a Registered Yoga Teacher (RYT) with Yoga Alliance. Amy is also a certified Embodyment® Yoga Therapist through Master Yoga Foundation and is available for private sessions.
