About Sandy Lamerson
My Background and Training
I have been a student of Yoga, Ayurveda, and Buddhist meditation since 2005. These traditions guide my work through their integrated approach to physical health, mental clarity, and spiritual well-being.
I am a Level 2 Certified Iyengar Yoga Teacher, trained at the Iyengar Yoga Institute of San Francisco, with continued study in asana and pranayama. My training includes extensive study in India, including the Yog-Ganga Center for Yoga Studies and time in Pune with the Iyengar family. I also practiced for many years in Buddhist meditation centers.
My interest in yoga as a healing art led me to study Ayurveda. I am a graduate of the Kerala Ayurveda Academy’s Ayurvedic Health Counselor Program (2019) and am currently completing my Ayurvedic Practitioner training. I study Clinical Ayurveda with Vaidya Karthik Krishnan, and completed a clinical internship at Vaidyagrama in Coimbatore, South India (2024). I am a professional member of NAMA and IYNAUS.
I currently teach Iyengar Yoga in Ukiah and online through Adeline Yoga in Berkeley. I offer all-levels and restorative classes, retreats, and workshops, as well as Ayurvedic consultations. My teaching emphasizes individualized, seasonal practices that support balance, resilience, and well-being.
