About Me
My name is Ann-Marie Everitt, and I am happy to share Ambā Yoga NYC with you. Ambā is a Sanskrit word for mother, which was given to me when I became a teacher, and it has become the umbrella for all my yoga offerings.
Yoga saved my sanity when I was suffering from anxiety and depression. Work, family, and relationships were overwhelming. I was drinking too much, crying all the time, and crippled by indecision. That was over thirty years ago; yoga gave me a path through that crazy maze to balance and happiness, and I've been healthy ever since.
In addition to teaching Private Yoga in people’s homes and online, I’ve been honored to teach at Integral Yoga Institute and the game-changing Breathe for Change. I implemented a Mindfulness and Meditation program for New York City’s MTA, and I also provide Mindfulness and Meditation training for small businesses.
My classes channel the sun, surf, and sea of my home country, Australia. My approach is light and playful. I believe wholeheartedly that together we can empower you with a healthy body and mind.
Where did you train?
I trained at Integral Yoga Institute, one of the oldest and most respected schools in the country. It is here that I gained my credentials in Hatha Yoga, Yoga Philosophy, Meditation, Adaptive, Chair and Gentle Yoga, Yoga for Arthritis, Therapeutic Yoga I & II, and Yoga for Teens. In addition, I am certified in Yoga of Sound and Voice at the Sivananda Institute, Yoga for Trauma at Land Yoga and Mindfulness and Compassion Contemplations at the Interdependence Project. I am registered with the American Yoga Council and am fully insured.
I am forever grateful to my teachers: Sri Swami Satchidananda, Paramahamsa Nithyananda, Reverend Vidya Vonne, Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso, Swami Vidyananda, Kali Morse, Rashmi Galliano, Tao, Dechen Thurman, Hamsa Spagnola, Dr Stephanie Moonaz, PhD, Silvia Nakkach, Dr John Beaulieu ND, PhD, & Kimberley Brown at the Interdependence Project.
If you are exhausted, feeling constantly stressed, and not taking care of yourself, we can bring you back into balance
Together, we customize a toolkit that will last you a lifetime. You will develop strength and flexibility in your body, your emotions, and your mind. You will feel younger, energized, and at ease.
If you want better relationships, we cultivate self-love, forgiveness, and connection
Fulfilling relationships with others begin with a good relationship with ourselves. Our hurried lifestyles are often full of self-blame and harsh self-criticism. In a private yoga program, we can develop self-acceptance and compassion, which then radiates out to our inner circles and then our communities. Modern psychology also tells us that this is the key to success in business. The more gentle and playful we are with ourselves, the more emboldened we feel to live our lives fully, take risks and live through the good and the not so good outcomes.
We offer the personal attention that you can’t find in a studio
Some of the health practices we can tailor for your body and your health are: improved breathing, posture and movement habits. We also offer complementary tools for pain management and injury recovery.
