GUEST REVIEWS

"Restorative and relaxing"
AmaTierra Guest, march  2011.
"I was looking for a healthier alternative to my typical travels and I found it in spades. I expected the great yoga, beautiful setting, and healthy eating, but was delighted to also find wonderful fellow travelers, great birding, exciting waterfalls, and seriously delicious meals."

"This is truly a retreat and I would surely return! Amatierra is away from the city in beautiful surroundings and nature, the yoga studio set apart, the wellness center peaceful and nicely equipped, hiking trails on the property, AWESOME healthy meals, and the wonderful staff make this a great place to "get away from it all."

At AmaTierra you can Get Into Practice and relax deeply into your body as you breathe and stretch with Gentle Hatha Yoga. Many interesting forms of yoga are being taught these days, and all have their merits, but the basic Hatha style taught at AmaTierra is the foundation for physical yoga practice and has stood the test of time —a few thousand years! With the addition of our new studio, we will be offering more varieties of classes very soon.


“I find this gentle Hatha style with an emphasis on breathing and deep stretching does the most good for the majority of people,” instructor Jill Ruttenberg says. “It certainly has helped me overcome chronic neck and low back pain. Someone who is experiencing yoga for the first time realizes, ‘wow! I can DO this…and it feels really GOOD!’ Practicing yoga is about more than being fit—it’s about tuning in to your true self, getting quiet, practicing being fully present in your moments and breathing into all the corners of your Being with focus and intention.”

Jill’s method of teaching is closely aligned with one of her teachers, Jean-Pierre Marques from North Africa who was a pioneer in bringing Eastern traditions to the U.S. in 1971, and who later initiated the Spiritual Awareness Center at Canyon Ranch Spa in Tucson, Arizona.
