A little about us, for those who don't know us already: Established in
1991, the Green Mountain School of
Yoga
was founded by American-born Prem Prakash. Prem Prakash has been
practicing
yoga and related arts and sciences since 1979. In 1990, his yoga guru,
Baba Hari Dass, gave him permission to teach others. Prem Prakash and
his
wife, Ambika, (Lesley Gibbs) have studied formally with teachers from
several
different lineages, and together they serve as Co-Directors of the
Green
Mountain School of Yoga in Middlebury, Vt.
Prem Prakash is
the author of The
Yoga of Spiritual Devotion : A Modern Translation of the Narada Bhakti
Sutras, Three
Paths of
Devotion : Goddess, God, and Guru, Yoga American Style, and Universal Yoga
: The Bhagavad Gita for Modern Times.
Prem Prakash has taught yoga throughout North America, and his
writings
have appeared in Yoga Journal,
Yoga International, Light of
Consciousness,
Himalayan Path, and Yoga
Aktuel (German). In 2007, Prem Prakash was honored by the Institute of
the Himalayan Tradition with their Annual Service Award. In 2008, the
Institute recognized him as a Yogiraj, “an accomplished yogi who lives
in the world.” Ambika has
devoted herself to studying and
practicing
yoga since 1995. She has been teaching asana classes since 2004.
In addition to co-directing the Green Mountain School
of Yoga, Ambika serves as web-mistress for gmsy.org as well as editor
and
publisher of the quarterly yoga school e-newsletter. She is an
avid gardener and student of
herbalism.
Ambika and Prem Prakash enjoy sharing yoga with diverse populations. Ambika has taught chair yoga for several years to elders in a Community Care facility. She teaches a gentle asana class which is welcoming to seniors and those suffering from arthritis or chronic pain. Prem Prakash teaches at local schools, with traumatized children, and with the Track, Football and Alpine Ski teams at Middlebury College.
