Amber VandeStreek

Introduction: Meet Amber VandeStreek, a passionate yogi who discovered her love for yoga in May 2019 and has been immersed in the practice ever since. Two years later, she completed her 200 HR teacher certification and has been sharing her passion for yoga with others as an instructor.

Training and Approach: Amber completed her 200 HR YTT program with Yoga Connect MI in Lansing, MI, in May 2021 and is actively pursuing her 300 HR YTT with them. She values the use of props, particularly blocks, in her practice and enjoys incorporating them into her classes. Amber specializes in slower style classes, often categorized as “Candlelight” flows, where she encourages students to take extra breaths in each asana, allowing the body to fully engage and connect with the breath.

Teaching Philosophy: With a sense of humor that shines through in her classes, Amber creates a welcoming and relaxed environment where students can feel at ease. She believes in making yoga accessible to everyone and emphasizes the importance of working with the body rather than against it. Amber's classes are not only about physical movement but also about cultivating a deeper understanding of the body and the power of the breath.
