Amissa Metcalf

Amissa started her yoga journey as a dance student trying to find balance in her art.  After her first child, she discovered yoga not only as a practice, but as a lifestyle and started the 200 hour teacher training with Karen Prior, RYT of Samatva Yoga in Dallas, Texas in 2003 during her second pregnancy.  She completed Mamaste Yoga for Prenatal and Postnatal, Let's Play! Yoga for Kids, Yoga For Women, Ashtanga and Yoga for Beginners as part of her certification.  One World Yoga was formed when she started teaching at various locations and needed one place and forum to inform her students of her offerings.  Amissa has trained with Judith Lasater for the Relax and Renew Restorative Yoga program, attended Laughter Yoga training and during her third pregnancy completed her 500 hour teacher certification with Samatva Yoga.  She has apprenticed in Ayurveda and Holistic Nutrition and offers consulting in those areas, as well as working as a Birth and Postpartum Doula since 2005.  Amissa has taught workshops throughout the country and is the creator of Red Tent Yoga for Women 8-80, Girl Power Yoga for girls 12-17, Devotional Yoga- using yoga as a spiritual practice and the ReBalance Cleanse.  She believes in laughter and that each class forms a community- a place of love, acceptance and breathe.
