 "For me there is only the traveling on paths that have heart, on any path that may have heart, and the only worthwhile challenge is to traverse its full length--and there I travel looking, looking breathlessly.” ~Carlos Castaneda, Teachings of Don Juan |  “Your task is not to seek for love, but merely to seek and find all the barriers within yourself that you have built against it.” ~Rumi |  “Someone I loved once gave me a box full of darkness. It took me years to understand that this too, was a gift.” ~Mary Oliver |  “Perhaps all the dragons in our lives are princesses who are only waiting to see us act, just once, with beauty and courage. Perhaps everything that frightens us is, in its deepest essence, something helpless that wants our love.” ~Rilke |

Amara Miller
Sociologist, Educator, & Yoga Practitioner
Welcome!
I am a feminist, sociologist, social justice activist, yoga practitioner, perpetual student, and artist. On this page you can find out more about me, read my blog, and access a variety of resources for both students and teachers hoping to continue their education or deepen their practice.
As an educator, I focus on promoting critical thinking and self reflection to better understand the intersectional nature of systems of oppression and privilege, as well as the impacts these systems have on all our lives. In my academic work, my research and academic teaching explores mechanisms and impacts of social change, with a grounding in cultural sociology, complex organizations, and social movement studies. As an activist, I seek to utilize the tools feminism, sociology, and yoga provide to promote greater equity and justice for all. As a yoga practitioner, I offer a unique, sociological perspective on the practice and industry to promote greater access(ibility) and inclusivity. I teach a variety of trainings, workshops and courses relating to my research and areas of expertise. If you are interested in booking my services as an educator, speaker, or yoga teacher, feel free to contact me.
