Amelia Travis

I am a registered yoga teacher (RYT-200) based out of San Diego, CA.  My calling to teach yoga stems from a deep desire to share the essential truths and practices of yoga with everyone who wants to learn.  The experiences I have had with yoga practice have shown me unequivocally that yoga is a radical and immensely powerful tool for healing and transformation of body, mind, and spirit.  I have been practicing yoga for ten years, and reached a point in 2010 where I realized the time had come for me to learn to make yoga available to others.

After ten years of practice I chose to study classical Indian hatha yoga through the International Sivananda Yoga Vedanta association, and completed my teacher training at the Sivananda Yoga Farm Ashram in Grass Valley, CA. In 2012 I began adapting yoga sequencing to water, and currently I am recognized as one of the leading instructors in the rapidly growing SUP/paddle yoga segment of the SUP industry.

The practice of yoga has greatly increased my awareness, mental clarity, confidence, and self-esteem. It has stretched not just my body, but also my mind, my heart, and my comfort zone. Yoga allows us to tune into our true selves, to remember our nature as strong, powerful, peaceful, and joyous creatures.

Yoga will also help you improve in your other hobbies and endeavors.  As an avid surfer, dancer, hiker, and fitness enthusiast, I have experienced increased flexibilty, strength, resilience, and balance from my yoga practice.  The benefits of yoga extend well beyond the mat and will transform every aspect of your life.

I believe that yoga is an incredible tool for healing any ailment or affliction of the mind, body, or spirit. Whether you struggle with anxiety, depression, weight problems, attention-deficit disorders, anger issues, or simply need to de-clutter your mind, there is a yoga practice that will help you accomplish your goals and find your own inner peace.

It is the deepest desire of my heart to share the joy and healing power of yoga with you. I look forward to meeting you and helping you find your bliss.
