Yoga Vacation with Adi and Neesha

Adi Amar and Neesha Zollinger

Adi Amar is the owner and director of the Teton Yoga Shala in Jackson Hole. She has been studying and practicing yoga since the age of 15 and completed her formal training in 2001 at Mount Madonna under the guidance of Baba Hari Das. Adi considers Baba Hari Dass, Tim Miller, Bhavani Maki, Nicki Doane and Eddie Modestini as some of her most influential teachers.  She has recently been devoted to studying under the guidance of Sadhguru’s teachings, and has been exploring the broad benefits of kriyas, to align and purify the body, mind, emotions and inner energies. Adi is known to offer specific tools for each individual to extend his/her own growth and wisdom within mindful and inspiring classes that integrate the spiritual and philosophical teachings of Yoga. Adi’s focus is to inspire a passion for regular yoga practice, as the practice is the ultimate teacher. She has studied extensively within the broad scope of Hatha Yoga. She currently teaches Vinyasa and therapeutic group classes, private and semi-private classes that focus on individuals needs, workshops and yoga teacher trainings as a Yoga Alliance E-RYT-500. Adi Amar also teaches yoga online at Yoga Today. With beautiful places like Jackson Hole, Wyo. and Sedona, Ariz. as backdrops, Yoga Today offers yoga classes on the Internet as a subscription. Adi’s yoga classes focus on the therapeutic application of yoga and give her viewers challenging sequences that they can follow once or many times online. Neesha Zollinger finds unparalleled joy in movement, presence, and the simple act of attention.  She has dedicated herself to sharing this passion with her students. As a Yoga Alliance E-RYT-500, Certified Anusara Yoga® Instructor, and Owner of Akasha Yoga in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, Neesha brings 20 years of yoga and dance experience to her classes, workshops, and trainings. Neesha grew up dancing, and she embarked on a formal yoga practice in 1990.  She first came to Jackson Hole to practice and perform with a professional dance group.  She discovered Anusara yoga in this mountain town, studying under Margot Snowden in the very studio space she now owns, Akasha Yoga.  While her natural flexibility gave her access to a wide variety of poses, yoga also cast light on her tendencies to go out of balance – both in asana and in life.  Years of curious inquiry and mindful practice have brought balance into her world and taught her how to enjoy more energy, stamina, strength, and stability – qualities she has called upon tirelessly as she raises her five-year old daughter, Stella.  Neesha’s teaching focuses on empowering others to find these same sources of health, happiness, and renewal through detailed knowledge of the body and the steady work of paying attention. The yoga community is central to Neesha’s groundedness, and her teachings emphasize the creation of connection through both the practice and the conversation of yoga.  She loves to study anatomy and philosophy in all of its forms, and she finds that her investigations are enriched immeasurably by the exchange of ideas with her companions on the yogic journey. Neesha’s teaching has taken her around the globe several times.  She is a featured instructor on yogatoday.com who also hosts her own virtual training courses, live workshops, and virtual/live teacher trainings.
