Amit Heri: E-RYT 500 Yoga alliance Certified TEACHER

Growing up in the southern state of Karnataka, India, the birthplace of Modern Yoga, I developed a deep interest in yoga at a young age. 

However, I pursued music studies at Berklee College of Music, leading to a successful career as a performing musician at international festivals like Montreux Jazz festival, Berlin Jazz festival, and the Kennedy Center.

Despite my success, the demands of a performing musician took a toll on my personal life, leading me to seek out yoga for balance and well-being. 

Studying in the lineage of Guru Sri T Krishnamacharya, I trained in Ashtanga yoga with Mysore Shivaram Vishwanath and Iyengar yoga with several teachers in India, including at the Iyengar Institute in Pune and Mumbai.

Yoga transformed me into a physically, mentally, and emotionally balanced human being. Now, I am passionate about sharing the principles, practices, and values of this ancient practice and making them applicable to modern life. In my classes, I welcome both new and experienced yogis alike and strive to inspire everyone to be their best selves, on and off the mat.

After practicing yoga for 7 years, I attribute its benefits to every aspect of my life. I discovered my love for yoga in Boston and have been teaching in Los Angeles since 2019, after completing my yoga teacher training at the beginning of 2020.

My teachings are based on the spiritual and philosophical aspects of yoga, and I aim to make it accessible and enjoyable for all. When I'm not on the mat, I work as a life coach with clients from all over the world.
