TRANSFORMATION THROUGH YOGA

Amber Paul is the founder of Yoga For Actors, a system which teaches performers of all types how to overcome audition and performance anxiety through the freeing practice of yoga. Amber’s style of teaching embraces the individual, acknowledges the moment, and encourages joyful expression.

As owner of a thriving private yoga practice based in New York, Amber works with clients ranging from opera singers to corporate executives. She is a certified vinyasa yoga instructor and a Yoga Alliance-registered teacher.

Amber is currently on faculty at John Jay College of Criminal Justice, City University of New York, where she is a professor of yoga. She also teaches in the Corporate Division at Sonic Yoga, where she received her certification under the guidance of Jonathan Fields and Lauren Hanna.

Amber believes that yoga is for everyone, and has worked extensively to integrate its practices within the daily life of her community. One of her special gifts as an instructor is introducing yoga to first-time practitioners.
