AMBRA VALLO
About
Ambra is a former Principal ballerina with the Birmingham Royal
Ballet. Throughout her career she enjoyed the chance to perform on
stages all around the world. She turned to yoga on a path to recovery from
injuries that naturally result from the strenuous training regime, and as well
as becoming a hobby she also credits it with helping to enhance and
prolong her career. Slowly over the years she fell in love with the more
subtle, spiritual parts of the practice.
Retiring from dance allowed her the time to focus on her passion and to
undertake further training in Ashtanga Vinyasa (200hrs, 500hrs & 50hrs),
Dharma Yoga (500hrs & 800hrs), Rocket Yoga (500hrs), Forrest Yoga
(200hrs and Advance TT), Tripsichore (200hrs), and Gokul Vinyasa Yoga
(300hrs). Ambra’s teaching is fun and spontaneous following the lineage of
Larry Shultz, Ana Forrest, and Sri Dharma Mittra. Since she retired from
professional ballet she has been teaching regularly in teacher training
courses, has worked with performers and athletes helping to rethink their
traditional training regimes and introduce yoga to drive better performance
and increase their enjoyment of sport and performance. Her aim is to
guide others so as they may also experience the many amazing benefits of
yoga to the body, mind and soul.
