The Zev Mission
To create a safe, warm and open environment for self discovery, rejuvenation and connection.
Meet Jonas Zev Amberger
Jonas Zev Amberger, a full time yoga teacher since 1997, received a degree in cultural anthropology from the University of New Hampshire in 1991. He later went on to study at the Kalidas Sanskrit University in Nagpur, India, where he received a degree in Ayurvedic Medicine in 2004. He co-founded and directed YogaEast, a progressive school for Ashtanga yoga in Portsmouth, New Hampshire, from 2002 to 2006. He also founded and directed Yoga 5, a center for Ashtanga yoga and Ayurveda in the Berkshires of western Massachusetts from 2006 to 2008. Jonas says of his personal philosophy regarding yoga practice, “When I practice yoga, I move away from the external stimulation that tells me I should be this or do that. I reconnect with a true place inside myself that invites me to express myself authentically with confidence and clarity.” He is excited about the opportunity to bring together his education and experiences, supplemented by his own unique philosophy and teaching style, in his classes at Zev Yoga Studios.
Why was Zev Yoga founded?
Jonas created the Zev Method out of a desire to uphold the integrity of the brilliant and dynamic systems of Ashtanga yoga and Ayurvedic medicine, while making these systems more accessible to the modern western lifestyle. Zev Yoga Studios is a place of fusion, where the ancient practice of yoga is tailored to complement and enhance the modern experience of living on the New Hampshire seacoast.
