I am married to my Heart's True Love, my Best Friend, my Universal Balance, my Guardian Angel...
FURTHER BITS OF THIS & THAT...
Amaris means Child of the Moon. It was a name that came to me as a child one night during a moonlit star-kissed meditation. I was tickled to learn the meaning once I discovered it later in a book.

This is a portion of the presentation I performed for students at an assembly celebrating cultural diversity and interconnectedness at a local middle school.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

AMARIS ZIAYANAH...

Now a Certified Yoga Instructor, Amaris has Practiced Yoga for Over 16 years, including the time during all four of her Pregnancies. Currently working on her Degree in Holistic Nutrition, she has been a Vegetarian for 17 years and has had a Vegan diet for the past 8 years. It is through her Dance that Amaris has found the Liberating Freedom of fully experiencing, embracing, and expressing the Various Moments of Now .

Inspired to help women reconnect with themselves, Amaris Believes that through Our own Conscious Loving, Conscious Living, and Conscious Movements, we are able to Repect, Honor, and Cherish the Beauty that we All are and the Wonders of what we each have to Offer in this Life.

AS A PERFORMER...

Amaris is recognized by many as "the One who Dances with her Eyes." Her style is surprisingly unique, consisting of a Delightful Eclectic Blend of Turkish, Tribal Fusion, Indian, and Cabaret with a Spanish Twist. The Love and Fluidity that she expresses through the Dance is an Intriguing and Captivating Experience.

AS AN INSTRUCTOR...

Amaris brings a wealth of Artistry, Expertise, and Enthusiasm to each of the Classes that she Offers. She is able to provide Developmentally Appropriate, Stimulating, and Nurturing activities that Encourage the Wonder and Excitement in learning for the Young and Young at Heart.
