Amrita Choudhury is a rare gem.  A consummate professional in her field, she has travelled the world inspiring all as she shares her knowledge of yoga and dance in body and spirit. We couldn't be more delighted to host the following workshops in Edmonton.

Amrita Choudhury has 29 years experience in Indian sacred dance, mudras and Nritya yoga.  Her grandfather was a yogi and Shaivite priest and her mother was her first dance teacher at the age of 4.

Amrita was educated at Rabindranath Tagore's school in India (Santiniketan -Abode of Peace), where the relationship between nature, spirituality and the arts was part of everyday life.

She has specialized in the art of Indian Classical/Sacred Dance, Yoga, and therapeutic Mudras (symbolic hand gestures).

Amrita also performs anthropological research in the field of "Dance and Anthropology" related to the yoginis/yogis of the ancient temples of India dating back to the Tantrik tradition of Yoga and Sacred Dance.  She carries a degree in Anthropology and is a well respected dance researcher and choreographer.  

Amrita teaches and performs globally and has made Montreal her home.
