She/Her
Amera is our Ashtanga Yoga Teacher. Teaching the very popular Ashtanga Yoga on a Wednesday morning and special workshops throughout the year too.
In Her Words
Yoga has been a key influence in my life ever since my first yoga class in 2010 (but my first EVER experience of yoga was a Geri Halliwell DVD?) I love to share my passion with others and see the transformational benefits it brings to students. My classes encourage harmony between strength and flexibility, energy and grounding, effort and softness to leave students feeling balanced and calm.
MAD Credentials
I took my 200hr Yoga teacher training in Bali in 2006, immersed in spirituality amongst the beautiful green rice fields. I have trained in a mixture of styles from dynamic Ashtanga, grounding Hatha and Yin to soothing Restorative and Nidra.
Amera Loves
I’m a lover of the sunshine, picnics in nature, coffee, dark chocolate and soul music. My passion is to travel and I’m trying to learn Spanish, although badly! Alongside teaching, I also offer Holistic Massage treatments in my home treatment space in Ely. My aim is to help people feel calmer and restored from the outside in.
Amera’s Fav Well-being Tip
When you’re feeling anxious, tired or stressed my favourite pose is Viparita Karani (aka legs up the wall or supported on a chair). Place your hands on your belly, a cushion under your head and settle here for 10 mins simply watching the breath.
Favourite Well-being Quote or Poem
Breath of Life by Danna Faulds
I breathe in All That is
Awareness expanding
To take everything in,
As if my heart beats
The world into being.
Inhalation. Exhalation.
Each breathe a “yes”,
and a letting go,
a journey, and a
Coming home.
