Amelia Travis

Trained in classical Indian yoga in the Sivananda, Yin, and Ashtanga traditions, she has a strong foundation in both anatomy and philosophy, and skillfully weaves knowledge of both into her classes, retreats, and teacher trainings. She also built and directed the yoga program for Glide SUP from 2012 to 2015, designing new gear and guiding an international SUP Yoga ambassador program. Amelia has trained over six hundred yoga instructors how to adapt the practice of yoga safely to the stand up paddle board and is the author of Aqua Asana: A Comprehensive Guide to SUP Yoga. She has a teaching style of clear and concise anatomy based cueing, interwoven with the wisdom of Vedic philosophy and a spirit of devotion. Her classes cultivate a spirit of gratitude for the natural environment and respect for each yogi’s unique journey into self-inquiry. After breaking her back in a surfing accident in 2012, Amelia realized that life is too short to do anything but what you love. She lives each day now by her personal mantra ~ Set your intention, breathe it to life.
