Amirah ia an Austin-based chef and culinary storyteller known for soulful, memory-driven food that centres on South Asian traditions. Her work reclaims culinary narratives, honors ancestral techniques, and resists the erasure of diasporic cuisines. Through pop-ups, private dinners, and teaching, Amirah curates spaces where every dish tells a story — and everyone has a seat at the table.
We are so excited to have Amirah anchor this retreat with her grounded energy and incredible talent for bridging food, representation, and history together in the meals she offers. If you’re in ATX and considering joining us for this day of community, rest, and belonging, now’s your chance - we have a few spots left!

Know that your capacity to feel the grief, shock, horror, anxiety is a sign that you are connected to yourself and to the world. Yoga helps us to get clear and discerning so we can see what is.
As I support clients this week who are trying to digest what they are witnessing, i realize that I need to be doing the same. That is how we keep showing up with clarity for those we support. And how we know when to stop and pause instead of repeating the cycle of burning out.
We need more spaceholders who practice taking the time and space to feel their emotions and take action with clarity.
Who are unafraid to pause when they need to.
Notice when you’re overriding your own cues to process the rage, grief and fear coming up from all the horror we are bearing witness to.
Check in with yourself each day “what do I need right now to be supported?”
The people and communities you are supporting with your gifts want you to be resourced too.
FUCK ICE.

January is for digesting, introspection and loving the gentle quiet.
I do like to do some visioning to hone in on my word for the year, a few guiding intentions, and take stock of what I already have on my calendar personally and professionally so that I don’t overload myself.
Also this was my first time making matcha at home, pls be gentle in your judgement 😂. I’m a caffeine 1x a week person so having this ritual is a real treat.

I don’t post as much about Asana lately, because I’ve been focusing on studying/teaching the more underrepresented tools in yoga, like pranayama and mantra. But this one’s been on my mind for so long!
Vi: special, nyasa: placement, arrangement. So then vinyasa means to arrange in a special way, or to intentionally place or link.
The amount of times I’ve heard “now take a vinyasa” as a way to build intensity or more exercise in a class is countless. (I’ve also learned this as a common transition between asanas in YTTs!)
The word vinyasa has become synonymous with a flowy Asana class, but it actually applies to ALL yogic tools. Learn more about my upcoming retreats and offerings where we dig in to this via link in bio or 💜.

My name is Melissa Shah and I go by she/they. I currently live on unceded Tongva, Chumash and Kizh land which is colonized as Los Angeles. Some other identities and lived experiences are being a first-gen Indian American, holding caste-privilege, and gender exploring.
I work as a yoga therapist offering 1:1 sessions for ppl seeking a holistic approach to their personal practice as well as 1:1 mentorships for yoga teachers/students seeking to deepen their studies. Individual exploration and healing are intrinsically tied to collective liberation, and I love doing this work. I also lead group classes on my platform and, and also offer an on-demand membership 🧘🏽♀️.
I grew up with the practice of yoga and Ayurveda thx to my mom, and started studying to become a teacher when I was 19 with the encouragement of my teachers. Btw - I had never even walked into a yoga studio until I was 24.
I also love collaborating with colleagues and companies that center dismantling barriers in wellness, caste-abolition, and uplifting representation in healing spaces. None of us do this work alone, and I’m grateful for everyone who has hired me for trainings, corporate classes, events, etc., anyone who has uplifted my work, forwarded a post, opened an email, and who continue to support South Asian led yoga spaces like this one.
Other loves: anything that involves being submerged in water, convincing my partner to share his clothes with me, forgoing hair brushing ( captured proof in this pic 😂), giving maalish (head oil massages) to loved ones, and talking to my sis on the phone nearly daily (check out our new meditation program for pregnant people at ).
Tell me something that is lighting you up! 👇🏽!

If you are a South Asian yoga teacher and you’re wondering if your work to reclaim these sacred practices matters - it 100% does. We need you. Look at how many yoga festivals, panels, summits, studios still do not center South Asian teachers. Look at how many of these spaces continue to tokenize South Asians so their offerings can appear to look more “authentic,” without building actual relationships.
Your teaching, perspectives and voice are so needed and valued by many of us. 💜
