about segovia amil
Segovia Amil is a writer, artist and yoga teacher.
She was originally recognized for her dark, femme-oriented poetry and gothic aesthetics which gained popularity on platforms like Instagram and Tumblr. She is the author of the coveted “Ophelia Wears Black”, a book of poetry and prose which was published in December of 2016. After a period of online activity, Segovia diminished her online presence to focus seriously on her mental and physical health, a journey which took her on a 7-year hiatus from social media.
It was during this hiatus that Segovia developed a profound relationship with the many disciplines of Yoga and over time, began to heal her body and mind in a real way.
As of May 2024, Segovia returned online and continues to write, but with a better intention: to serve others as an artist, a student and teacher. Her passions still lie in writing about dark feminine mysticism, sensuality and introspection, but she looks to the contemplative practices to inform her writing and teachings and shares her love of Ashtanga Yoga to humbly and meaningfully provide the resources that helped her for those struggling with their own mental health.
She lives and teaches both private and public lessons in Durham, North Carolina.
