Guest Bio:

Amelia Travis is an E-RYT 500, writer, speaker, and business coach. As the founder of Stoked

Yogi, she’s impacted thousands of lives through yoga education programs, stand up paddle and surf experiences, and women’s empowerment retreats.

The journey to an empowered life was a long and winding road. Body dysmorphia, people

pleasing and perfectionist tendencies led Amelia down the path of drug addiction, disordered

eating, abusive relationships and a “sugar baby” lifestyle, and spiraled her into a rock bottom of a hundred thousand dollars in debt and a lost and broken heart.

In 2009, a spiritual awakening led Amelia to the realization that she was the only one standing in the way of becoming the woman she wanted to be. She decided to embrace messy, imperfect, unapologetic FEELING, and has since built and scaled a multi-six figure business, certified over 700 yoga teachers in stand up paddle board yoga and coached hundreds of women to personal and professional success.

Amelia’s writing has been published in Yoga Journal, Huffington Post, and the Inertia. She has

also had the honor of sharing a message on mindset shift as a TEDx speaker.

In 2012, after breaking her back in a surfing accident, Amelia realized that life is too short to do

anything but what you love - our dreams exist for a reason. Her daily mission is to love people

and help them activate their highest potential. She lives by her personal mantra: Set your

intention, breathe it to life.
