Diane Bradley
Hey! My name is Diane Bradley, and I am a certified 200-hour Yoga Instructor. I received my 200 YTT in October 2018 in Carlsbad, California. I began my yoga journey 12 years ago during a time I could not run due to an injury. During that first class, with the help of an amazing teacher, I began to slow my body down, and my mind soon followed. Since this class I knew I needed yoga to be a consistent part of my life. I chose to enroll in YTT with the intention of learning how to teach and share my experiences and the transformation that yoga has brought to my life. As a teacher I wish to express what
Caitlin Craig
Caitlin is trained in Hatha yoga and has been teaching since 2016. ‘I love all forms of the physical practice of yoga & currently resonate most deeply with Kundalini Yoga due to its challenging & structured nature. I find the movements liberating & enjoy how the benefits can be felt instantaneously. I am grateful to have a foundation in the traditions of the practice. I would say I have a passion for good form & the more subtle aspects of the yoga experience. To be able to guide us to a state of total immersion & embodiment is the goal.'

Chris Bennett
Hello, my name is Chris Bennett, owner and teacher at Amalaya Yoga. I fell in love with Yoga after a difficult life event. It provided a much needed sense of community and discipline. Learning a practice that engaged my mind, body and spirit was just the medicine I needed. With an earlier experience in martial arts, yoga felt so natural to me.
Yoga is where I met my wife and the love of my life Karla. When the opportunity arose for us to create Amalaya Yoga, it felt like such an easy decision. Training under Beth Evans was a wonderful experience and gave me the confidence to continue the tradition of teaching Yoga. Join me for one of my hot classes to have incredible experience, improving your physical health, and to bring more peace to your life.
