Yolonda’s journey to yoga started 15 years ago as a way to relieve stress from the demands of juggling a full-time job in the mental health industry and being a mom. Between her hour-long commute and managing an office, she needed something to help her mental, emotional and physical well-being. That’s when she decided to try a hot yoga class. She was immediately hooked and has been practicing ever since. Fast-forward a few years, and Yolonda decided to leave her office job and pursue a career that she was truly passionate about. She became a yoga instructor to help others enjoy the many benefits of what yoga was doing for her. Her favorite benefit is how well yoga can calm a racing heart and mind simply by connecting the body with breath. She started her training with an Ashtanga yoga teacher training (YTT). She then continued on to a Hot Vinyasa YTT 200 hour RYT Certification. She recently expanded her certifications to include Trauma Informed Yoga and is continuing to enrich her knowledge and skills in all things yoga. She is very excited to share the joy and benefits of yoga with her friends, family and yoga community. She can’t wait to meet you and cross paths on your personal yoga journey.
My goal is to empower yogis by promoting self-love through fundamental yoga practices connecting mind, body, and breath. Creating an encouraging space where practitioners can dive deeper into their mental and physical yoga journey
