Marigold Amber Marie

Marigold Amber Marie (Amber Marie Heigl) is a yoga instructor, herbalist, and sound facilitator. She found her yoga practice in 2007 during a Hatha Yoga course at Minneapolis College after a year of studying music and dance at a performance college in Southern Ca. A spark ignited inside of her during her first yoga class at the college and all of the years of practicing music and dance began to make sense and express aliveness in a new way. She began to understand the healing and magic within yoga and her soul finally began to feel at home in her body. Eventually, her practice led her to Yoga Vidya Gurukul in Nasik, India to complete her first yoga certification and she began teaching  traditional hatha/vinyasa flow, chakra balancing yoga, and children’s yoga after returning to the states. 

Marigold began forming a connection with the Goddess shortly after her yoga practice began through a dream when reading Motherpeace by Vikki Nobel. The divine feminine aspect of yoga became further intertwined within her practice after a goddess meditation and being introduced to Buti and Earth Goddess Yoga. Eventually, she began to  teach shakti/goddess inspired yoga classes as the practices naturally flowed into her classes and life.

Marigold’s classes are inspired by the feminine aspect of yoga while honoring and respecting its cultural roots and traditions. They offer a unique blend of practices such as tuning into the subtle body, connecting with the cosmos and the earth, flowing intuitively and sacredly, and also exploring mantra, flow, mudra, and sound to deepen the practice and also help one expand on their own magical uniqueness, beautiful truth and creativity. Herbalism and Yoga Therapy are also areas of study and practice for Marigold that she also brings into her classes. The plants and yoga have so much potential to bring peace and healing to the physical and spiritual body and Marigold loves to share her experience with it as well.
