“The pose is the easy part. A class is a relationship between a room full of humans and the person holding the microphone. My job is to make that relationship safe enough that people can do hard things.”
Amara founded Lumen Yoga in 2014 with a single rule that still guides everything we do: no student should feel unsafe or unteachable in their own class. She began teaching at 22 in a 400-square-foot church basement in East Austin and has since taught more than 8,600 students in person and online.
Her classes are known for clear sequencing, honest hands-off adjustments and language that treats students as adults. She is an E-RYT 500, a certified birth doula and a Functional Range Conditioning mobility specialist, and she teaches our 200-Hour Teacher Training program and the Vinyasa Flow course.
Amara's live Sunday flow is where most of our community shows up. Expect heat, clear anatomy cues and a genuinely welcoming room for first-timers.
60-Day Dynamic Flow Immersion
Build a steady, breath-led vinyasa practice that you can actually keep on a busy week. Amara Reed breaks the 60-day journey into daily 20–40 minute sessions that layer sun-salutation variations, arm-balance progressions, and restorative cooldown work.

8-Week Alignment & Fundamentals
The clearest on-ramp into yoga. Lena Ortiz teaches the classical postures with unhurried alignment breakdowns, plain-language anatomy and a weekly progression that makes the mat feel manageable from day one.
