Nitya (Melissa) Walsh is a full-time Massage Therapist and Intuitive Healer and has been teaching Amrit Yoga since 2004. Her practice of yoga began 20 years ago, and upon introduction to Amrit Yoga in 2003, there was an instant connection and a desire to delve deeper into the teachings of yoga. As a bodyworker, Nitya has tremendous understanding of anatomy, both physically and intuitively, and brings that knowledge to her students in yoga by providing a safe environment for the practitioner to not only connect with, but truly understand the body. She transforms the insight from her own life experiences into inspiration for her classes, which provides a great deal of depth and passion to her teaching style and exemplifies her passion for the transformative power of the practice of Amrit Yoga.

Robin Crook started practicing yoga some forty years ago. Recently, it became a more consistent part of her life. She’d finally found, through Amrit Yoga, a kind of yoga that she identified with and that she knew would be most beneficial to her overall wellbeing. Life experiences led Robin to the path of teacher training, and she’s excited about using her Amrit teaching certification to help spread the gift of this practice with others.
