Today we’d like to introduce you to Amara Posadas-Carrera.
So, before we jump into specific questions about the business, why don’t you give us some details about you and your story.
I have been a fitness instructor for 36 years. A knee injury was causing me pain and loss of range of motion. I also had damaged shoulders and have undergone foot surgery. I have always desired to transition deeper into yoga. My early introduction to healing hatha was from my dad. He was a disciple of transcendental meditation. At age 12, he gave me my first mantra and a hatha yoga routine. Being young and seduced by more energetic activities, I lost touch with that practice. My state of being forced me to connect back with yoga. I completed my 200 RYT with Gerhard Gessner. My husband and I bought a home in a national city and noticed that there were no yoga centers. We opened the first and only yoga center in this community. Serving an underserved community, connecting and growing. Planting the seeds for a world that we would like to live in.
Has it been a smooth road?
I started developing my practice around age 48, I am now 54 years old, a wife, mom and grandma. All the years of being a fitness instructor and doing weights and cardio took a toll on my flexibility. I simply did my best. Starting from practice from where I am at. At this stage of my life, I am focusing on a range and ease of movement, contentment and the Sattvic (sustained bliss) energy that yoga develops. I am able to connect with my students of all ages and levels because I myself have experienced the pain, anxiety, stresses of our daily lives.
