In the Bible breath is referred to as, "the breath of life."  In yogic tradition the breath is acknowledged as an effective way to create more prana, or life force.  In these and also in other traditions we see that the breath has long been recognized as a force to bring life and vitality.

The science behind the deep breathing in yoga is based on the healing and vitalizing power of oxygen.  The breath combined with the poses, or alone in seated pranayama,  replaces toxic stagnant energy with vital, freshly purified and oxygenated blood.  The deeper you breath, the more energy you create, that will be distributed through out your body for healing.  Our bodies are miraculous creations.  When we supply them with what they need, healing happens.  So slow down and take some nice deep breaths!

    About Me
    Amber Gurr

     I was first introduced to yoga in 2001 and quickly fell in love.  In 2004, I completed my 500 hour teacher training with D'ana Baptiste and have done annual trainings since that time with notable teachers such as Mark Whitwell, David Williams, Baron Baptiste and Rolf Gates.  I love teaching and I love seeing yoga bless both the physical and spiritual aspects of people's lives.

    I have a husband and 4 little boys, ages 9, 3, 2 and 0 that keep me busy and playing.  I decided that now is the time for me to be home with my family so now I just sub a yoga class here and there.    I also am a nutritional herbalist, herbalist, doula, have an Associates degree in music,  teach piano and do some energy readings and healing here and there. 

    I am excited to share some of the tid bits of truth that I have come across that have shaped my life thus far and hope that this sharing  will assist many others in their journey.

    Namaste!
