Yoga Instructor
Amy Suheidy is also a RYT-200 with Yoga Alliance. They began their teaching journey to give back the embodiment, aliveness, and and deep sense of joy that yoga has brought into their life. As a teacher, Amy aspires to help students drop more fully into their own bodies and minds through mindful alignment, steady pranayama practices, and guided meditation. Amy currently applies their teaching knowledge and experience in accessible and private classes.

Estrella the Performer
Estrella Star is Amy’s stage name. Estrella is proud to be part of the vast, exhilarating, and queer pole dancing community in the Bay Area, finding joy and solidarity in its energy and diversity.

As a newer performer, Estrella enjoys testing new techniques, tricks, and playful gimmicks to thrill the audience and inspire generous tips.
