More Than a Studio: A Second Haum
What if gathering could feel like coming home - not to a place, but to yourself?
Here, presence isn’t a buzzword - it’s a practice.
Deep care isn’t something we market - it’s something you feel the moment you walk in.
And leadership? It’s the courage to gather in a way that honors your whole self, not just the polished parts.
This isn’t a studio.
It’s a sanctuary for coming back to what matters.
Haumbody Is A Meeting of Two Words: Homebody & AUM
HOMEBODY
A homebody isn’t someone who hides from the world. It’s someone who knows how to come home to themselves.
Home isn’t a place—it’s a feeling.
The moment your shoulders drop.
The breath that doesn’t have to prove anything.
At Haumbody, homebody means you don’t need to perform, impress, or escape to belong. You get to arrive exactly as you are—tired, curious, guarded, open—and still be welcomed.
This is a space for people who crave connection without drama. Depth without heaviness. Community that soothes instead of drains.
Being a homebody is remembering:
your body was always your first home.
AUM (OM)
AUM isn’t so much a word.
It’s a remembering.
Considered the primordial sacred sound of the Universe, often chanted at the end (and sometimes, beginning) of a yoga class.
It’s the sound the universe made before it learned how to talk.
Before calendars. Before productivity. Before the nervous system learned to armor up.
Think of AUM as the sound of wholeness, echoing both the beauty and brutality of existence.
At Haumbody, AUM isn’t chanted to sound spiritual.
It’s felt—
in muscles unwinding,
in breath finding its way home,
in laughter over warm mugs,
in the quiet permission to stop performing.
MEANING OF AN OPEN ENSO (ZEN) CIRCLE
The Ensō is a Zen circle, painted in a single breath.
Ours is intentionally open.
An open Ensō represents wholeness without perfection.
A life that is complete and still unfolding.
An invitation rather than a conclusion.
The opening lets life in.
Growth. Curiosity. Change.
Inside our Ensō are three stones—symbols of what grounds us:
Presence — showing up for this moment
Deep Care — attention, quality, and intention in all things
Leadership — not titles, but responsibility for how we show up together
The open Ensō reminds us:
You don’t have to be finished to belong.
You just have to be willing.
Our Values
LEADERSHIP Belongs To All Of Us.
True leadership isn’t about titles—it’s about showing up with integrity, presence, and the courage to be unarmoured. Through our presence and actions, we shape the culture around us, setting the standard for growth, compassion, and accountability within our community. At Haumbody Sanctuary, we believe leadership is rooted in inclusivity, vulnerability, and the commitment to healing—both within ourselves and our communities.
Quality And Standards Reflect DEEP CARE.
From the moment you walk through our doors to the classes you join and the drinks you savor, you will feel our deep care. Every detail—our offerings, atmosphere, and service—reflects our unwavering commitment to excellence. Haumbody Sanctuary is designed to nourish your body, mind, and spirit in every experience.
PRESENCE is the Practice.
True well-being comes from an integrative, mindful approach; it’s about balance, connection, and the ability to fully experience life with presence, inquiry, and joy. At Haumbody Sanctuary, we infuse intention in every breath, bite, and bond. We believe this is the foundation for creating a truly fulfilled life.
Our Vision
Looking towards the future, while staying in the present. Haumbody Sanctuary envisions a world where deep healing and joyful connection coexist. We aspire to redefine social spaces - creating environments that cultivate true presence and restoration for the nervous system; along with depth, playfulness, and integrity in the journey of mindbody education.
Our Mission
At Haumbody Sanctuary, we are committed to setting a new standard for conscious gathering — where quality, integrity, and nervous system healing are woven into every detail — from our yoga and movement offerings to the social lounge experience. Our mission is to uplift and inspire every guest to find their way back to a deep sense of home within themselves.
Meet Our Founders
Amber and Peter didn’t just dream up Haumbody Sanctuary - they lived the journey that made it possible.

Peter’s roots trace back to Venezuela, where he grew up in his parents’ Chinese restaurant and discovered how food brings people together. With a PhD in Engineering, an MBA, and a knack for numbers, he’s as comfortable in the world of spreadsheets as he is behind the kitchen counter.
Together - devotion and drive, creativity and precision - Amber and Peter are the perfect pair to steward a space where community, wellness, and connection thrive.

At Haumbody Sanctuary, we’re devoted to offering yoga that’s not just high quality, but deeply human. Our teachers are a diverse, highly trained crew who teach off the mat and in the moment, teaching based on what they actually see in the room - not just what’s in the sequence.
With a wide range of class styles and a depth of experience across the team, we’re here to support your practice - whether you’re stepping onto the mat for the first time or have been on this journey for decades.
All of our teachers are CPR certified.

-
Amber is a mindfulness-based embodiment educator, yoga teacher trainer, and author with over two decades of experience in nervous system regulation, emotional intelligence, and mind-body leadership.
Before teaching yoga, Amber was a competitive swimmer and rower, later training in martial arts (Capoeira, Aikido, MMA) and studying Thai massage, Qi Gong, and biomechanics — practices that cultivated adaptability, rhythm, and embodied awareness long before she ever stepped onto a mat.
Her teaching journey began in New York City with The Lineage Project, bringing yoga to at-risk and incarcerated youth. That trauma-informed foundation, woven together with her multidisciplinary studies, gave rise to her signature method — Dynamic Release Method® — a flow practice integrating breathwork, Qi Gong-inspired movement, and myofascial release, designed to support deep nervous system repair and a return to wholeness through embodied presence.
Amber is the founder of Embody Academy, home of Boundless, a 200/300-hour yoga teacher training that places nervous system regulation and conscious leadership at the center of what it means to teach. She is also the author of Tiny Rituals: 108 Poems to Remember Ourselves as Holy, Whole, and Wise, with work featured in Thrive Global, Thought Catalog, and beyond. Her teaching has carried her across four continents.
Today, Amber serves as CEO and co-leads Haumbody Sanctuary alongside her husband — a living expression of her vision for what wellness can be: a true community devoted to movement, mindfulness, and the kind of connection that reminds us we belong to something larger than ourselves.

He left behind a successful career as a medical device engineer to pursue a more embodied life rooted in community, creativity, and purpose.
Peter went on to deepen his training, completing his CrossFit Level 1 certification and an 80-hour Yoga Sculpt teacher training. His grounded classes reflect a unique fusion of fitness and mindfulness - integrating breath, form, and functional strength in a way that builds both resilience and clarity. As a CrossFit coach, he believes in the power of pushing limits; as a yoga teacher, he believes in doing so without losing yourself in the process.
Growing up in his parents’ Chinese restaurant in Venezuela, Peter developed a lifelong love for cooking. Today, he’s the chef behind the food at Haumbody’s lounge - bringing intention, nutrition, and flavor to every nourishing bite. For Peter, wellness isn’t just a workout - it’s a way of life.

Jen Legaspi
Certified Master Coach, RYT 200
-
Jen has been devoted to the practice of vinyasa yoga for over 25 years. After nearly two decades as a student, she began teaching when her relationship to the practice shifted — from performance and precision toward sensation, awareness, and a more honest connection with her body.
Her path with yoga has moved through many seasons. What once felt like discipline and self-monitoring gradually softened into something more grounded: a practice of listening. Jen believes yoga isn’t about getting it right — it’s about how we meet ourselves moment to moment, especially when things feel uncertain, imperfect, or tender.
As a trauma-informed Certified Master Coach and Integrative Wellness Coach, Jen brings a subtle yet powerful lens to her classes. Rather than pushing or performing, she invites choice, curiosity, and self-trust. Her teaching supports students in developing a responsive relationship with their bodies — one rooted in direct inner experience rather than external expectation.
Jen spent nearly two years living in Mexico, where the rhythm of daily life reinforced values that continue to shape her teaching: simplicity, presence, and an unhurried way of being.
Her classes are grounded, intentional, and quietly strengthening. She creates space for students to move with integrity, listen inward, and leave feeling more connected to themselves than when they arrived.
