Nirali Lauren McCrea
Senior Faculty & Yogacharya Amrit Yoga InstituteBiography
As a senior yoga educator, Nirali is known for connecting students to the energetic depths of yoga beyond technique, drawing from more than twenty years of uninterrupted practice and mentorship. Since 2009, she has trained daily with Gurudev Shri Amritji as one of his most advanced students, cultivating a rare and intimate understanding of the inner dimensions of yoga. She has led seminars throughout the United States, Canada, Mexico, and India, and in 2021 she was honored as Yogacharya in recognition of her mastery in transmitting the subtle essence of the teachings.
Now serving as Senior Faculty and Administrative Director, she leads the I AM Yoga 200-hour Teacher Training. Her classes foster an environment where students can discover their own energetic essence, settle into inner stillness, and enter the living heart of yoga through direct experience.
