About
You aren’t just looking for a yoga class, you’re looking for a transformation.
I am a Professor at the City University of New York (CUNY) and a certified Yoga Therapist & Wellness Coach with a foundation in Biology. My work bridges the gap between physiological science and deep spiritual awakening. With over a decade of intensive study, I specialize in helping high-achievers, spiritual seekers and those in major life transitions navigate their healing through a sophisticated blend of Yoga Therapy, Somatic Healing, and Intuitive Guidance.
Whether we are working through breath-work to regulate your nervous system or using energy readings to unlock spiritual blockages, every session is a curated, high-impact experience designed for your specific needs and interests. I don’t offer ‘cookie-cutter’ wellness; I provide a roadmap for those ready to invest in their highest self.
Specialized Services:
Somatic Yoga Therapy: Clinical application of yoga for physical and emotional recovery & release.
Intuitive Coaching & Energy Readings: Clarity for life’s crossroads using tarot/oracle as a mirror.
Chakra Education & Spiritual Cleansing: Comprehensive alignment for your energetic body.
Available for personalized 1:1 virtual advisory, private intensives, and luxury group retreats. Let’s expand, heal, and ascend together.

I had a wonderful experience with this yoga instructor. She was incredibly kind, patient, and understanding throughout the session, which made everyone in our group feel comfortable right away. The music she chose created a calm and relaxing atmosphere, and she did a great job tailoring the class to fit our group’s range of experience—from beginners to those with some intermediate practice.
She paid attention to everyone’s needs and offered helpful guidance without making anyone feel pressured. It felt very personalized and well thought out. While her rate was a bit higher than another instructors we considered, the quality of the experience, her professionalism, and the thoughtful way she led the class made it absolutely worth it. I would happily recommend her to anyone looking for a supportive and well-run yoga session.
Details: 8 students • 41 - 50 years old • No yoga preference • Beginner • Relaxation • Meditation • My home, venue, etc.

My session with Ama really helped with my healing journey and process. I was able take the next steps I needed to progress and accept some very hard truths I wasn’t willing to face before and it became very clear what I needed to focus on. She’s a great spiritual advisor to turn to if you’re looking for tools and tips on your journey. Also very patient and kind when it comes to the whole process.
