Amarpreet has lived in Austin since the early '90's. A social worker by trade, Amarpreet works for the State of Texas and previously worked at Texas School for the Blind for 11 years. A daily practitioner of Kundalini Yoga and meditation, Amarpreet would not think of trying to function in the chaos of society without the benefits of daily exercise, yoga, and meditation. Just like the body needs food and rest, the mind, emotions, and spirit require constant maintenance in order to stay somewhat balanced with regards to our connection with others. Amarpreet utilizes the technology of Kundalini Yoga in order to practice returning to that place of quiet and calm where the body, mind, and spirit recharges - where love, compassion, and forgiveness (of self and others) are the rule and are a human being's natural default settings.
