Amelia discovered yoga and pilates alongside her dance practice. After experiencing traumatic injuries as a teenager, she connected with somatic forms and developed a movement practice to regain agency, develop resilience, and better understand her body as it healed. Since, she has been trained in Stott Pilates, Vinyasa, and Katonah yoga, and she also has a Bachelors of Science in Kinesiology from Indiana University.

Amelia works from an internal logic of sensation, speculative physiology, and improvisation to develop material and sequences that allow students to follow their own intuition while connecting with their bodies.

In her classes, expect sequences that move and feel spherical, a deep integration of breath work, and the use of metaphor and imagery to facilitate a container for your own unique experience. Each class presents opportunities for exploration within the framework of good technique.
