About Amber Fisher

Hello, I’m Yogi Amber Fisher.

I was born + raised in California. 15 year resident in Pacific Grove, a little beach town nestled in the Monterey Bay. My favorite pass-time is anything I can do while watching my favorite show: Star Trek, or anything I can do with my favorite humans: Christopher + Jacob.
I became friends with Christopher circa 1991, we started dating in 1997 + married in 2005. This incredible person decided to make saving lives his full time career. By the time we were 18 he was an Emergency Medical Dispatcher for all of Monterey County. Our son Jacob (packin’ a quick-witted sense of humor, bold style + glorious hair) is living his best life being a teenager in this community.
The Wolf-Pack tears it up together. Always an adventure, a walk on the beach, a drive on the coast, hike in the Redwoods, backpacking in the wilderness, rollerskating, concerts + festivals. We live both spontaneously + not, but always with the intention of living the lives we love, so we can love the lives we live.

I spent roughly 11 years as a Learning Coach at California Virtual Academies, where Jacob attended school online. I’ve always had a side hustle whether it’s creating + selling jewelry, cleaning services (thanks Marma) + construction from demo to finish work (thanks Pops).

My gravitation towards eclectic hobbies was the catalyst in a series of ripple events that lead me to where I am now.

In 2010 I was one of 50 people who came together to create a local Roller Derby League. It’s an intense sport prone to cycles of strength + conditioning, injury + recovery. After one such injury it was suggested I add yoga to my recovery + rehabilitation routine + I was hooked. I became a regular practitioner, adding it to my post-game day restorative practice + grew lofty dreams of becoming a yoga teacher. After a lengthy roller derby career a more serious injury took me out of the game for good + I retired. A short time later our lives were flipped upside down + Jacob was diagnosed with a rare + fatal form of Cardio Myopathy. It wasn’t until then that I realized how much I was releasing through roller derby.

Yoga brought the calm, but I craved the wild.

That’s when I found BUTI Yoga. BUTI is the roller derby of yoga, an industry disruptor with a rebel spirit. It was the missing piece + the results led to total transformation that called me to share this magic. Through the balance of these practices I found the confidence needed to be brave with my life. I took the plunge + committed to turning lofty dreams into reality.
