Yoga Instructors in Antioch, California (Contra Costa County)

Vedic & Healing Arts - Offering a bona-fide pranic yogic system for health & neuromuscular fitness, awakening subtle energy & stilling the mind, vedic lifestyle practices, massage & bodywork. My teaching approach is grounded in the directive that "yoga is a super science - it shouldn't be practiced casually". Knowing the importance of maintaining a personal daily yogic/ayurvedic regimen, my goal is to guide, give the tools needed and empower students to build sustainable home practices of yoga and wellness. Having been trained extensively with Himalayan yoga adepts in ancient esoteric disciplines using the breath as the guide for transformation and self-empowerment, I am devoted to emphasizing the importance and power of the breath....

Amanda Hamilton, is following her dreams by opening Earth Yoga. Amanda's classes are a fun dynamic mixture of Vinyasa Flow Yoga, breath work, meditation, and freedom style movements all done in the spirit of bhakti yoga (a devotional practice centered on love, gratitude, and compassion). Classes are about burning away what no longer serves us so we may better cultivate a loving and fulfilling relationship with self. Amanda's journey into yoga began a few years ago after graduating from college and leaving behind her political career in Chicago and returning back home to the Monterey Bay Area to find herself burnt out and physically ill. Amanda found yoga during this time and attributes it to her rapid recovery. Amanda took her first teacher training in the Vinyasa Flow style of Yoga in 2008 and then moved to Los Angeles where she taught Power Yoga in Agora Hills and Beginners Yoga in High Schools in South Central LA. Amanda stumbled onto Kirtan (chanting) by accident while in Santa Monica and was shocked at the heart opening transformation that took place in her through this practice. Most recently Amanda had the honor to participate in the Bhakti Yoga Shala's first teacher training with Govindas, who has been an amazing teacher and mentor to her on this journey and to whom she is forever grateful. Om Tat Sat. Only goodness is truth. Jai Ma! Victory to Mother!... See More

I am a certified Yoga Teacher. I received my Yoga certification through The Sierra Center for Yoga Studies with Swamimi Bhavani Gerard and Richard Valdez. I teach three Yoga classes a week. Two are in the evening in Cameron Park on Tuesdays and Thursdays upstairs in a lovely loft above Headlines Hair Salon. The third class is held Saturday mornings upstairs above the wonderful Placerville Natural Foods Coop. Come join us!

I teach a unique, fun and high energy style of yoga that incorporates elements of Vinyasa and Kundalini (descriptions of each style are listed below) that allow for much more movement and freedom than traditional, "fixed-pose" yoga classes. The continual movement will also provide you with an added cardiovascular benefit, increased muscle strength and tone, improved endurance and flexibility, stress relief and an improved mood! All of my classes are designed for an immediate "feel-good-all-over" benefit and are easily adjusted for your skill level, from beginner to advanced. One try and you'll be hooked!

Vinyasa - Vinyasa yoga is often faster paced, and the postures are linked together in a series of movements that are synchronized with breathing. The continual movements, from one pose to another, allows for an incredible cardiovascular AND strength training workout. Vinyasa also offers much diversity. The pace can vary and each class is different every time.

Kundalini - Kundalini Yoga incorporates specific breathing techniques that intensify the effects of the poses with the purpose of freeing energy in the lower body and allowing it to move upwards. Kundalini is one of the more spiritual types of yoga. The Kundalini is untapped energy (prana) at the base of the spine that can be drawn up through the body awakening each of the seven chakras. Full enlightenment occurs when this energy reaches the crown chakra at the top of the head. Kundalini can be very physically intense. This type of yoga appeals to those who are up for both mental and physical challenges.... See More
