I feel that a person can release further into a pose when they are safely guided there. I incorporate all styles into practice and even a little belly dancing and chi gung! I believe that laughter is one of the best ways to ease pain both physical and mental, and I enjoy sharing laughter in my yoga practice. I look forward to learning and growing with you in your practice, as I do in mine." ~Namaste, Amy

Gwen Ranbir Ingram
Gwen Ranbir Ingram has been doing art and singing all her life and
only knew it made her feel better. She began exploring yoga in 1974.
Paramahansa Yogananda's Autobiography of a Yogi, Ram Das' Be Here Now,
and B.K.S. Iyengar's Light on Yoga, had a profound effect on her
practice.
She practiced Self Realization Fellowship's yoga program
from 1976 and it carried her through the raising of her daughter and
creation of her art business. From 1996 to 2000 she studied Ashtanga
Yoga with Andrew Eppler. Traveling and doing art shows took their toll
and it was Kundalini Yoga and the rhythms of mantra music that healed
her frazzled soul. Her electromagnetic system was effected immediately
and she knew she had to teach Kundalini Yoga.
She became a certified Kundalini Yoga teacher in 2005 and did all the 2nd level trainings by
2008. Her classes include ancient chants and modern music with the
patterns of naad that include asana, rhythm, sound, concentration, and
breath. She explains how these chanted patterns, containing atoms of
information in the smallest sound units, effect us by releasing the
inner energy of awareness needed to guide us through the sea of change
we are going through at this time.
