| Introduction | A Yoga Alliance-Registered Teacher at the 200-hour level, Amelia trained under Angela Boltz, Rasa School of Vinyasa Yoga, Philadelphia, and Edgar Ortiz, Yoga Mandir, San Jose, Costa Rica. Amelia likes working with heat-building standing sequences, inversions, and arm balances to increase strength in the limbs and core, while detoxifying and toning twists, gentle backbends, and cooling forward folds provide opening and balance throughout the body. Amelia teaches with a focus on aligning movement with breath, restoring symmetry to the body, safely increasing flexibility, and modifying for students' individual needs. Amelia started taking yoga classes in Oregon in 1998, but really fell in love with yoga and began a daily practice while studying with Andrea Thomas, Kasey Davis, Crystal Oostema, and Sarah Lawrie here in Sitka. Amelia likes to get to the mat as a student at least as often as she teaches. |
