Jocelyn Rivera-Figueroa

Jocelyn was introduced to the yogic philosophy, at the tender age of seven years old, as a student in a small, alternative, private elementary & middle school. Weekly yoga classes and daily nature walks through beautiful, Virginia terrain were the foundation of her education and informed much of her positive, grounded outlook on life! Fitness through organized sports (volleyball, lacrosse, basketball, +tennis) was an emphasis throughout her adolescence, but it wasn’t until her participation in a Gold’s Gym college scholarship program, that she was able to begin forging her yogi path as a future instructor. Through amazing mentorship provided by yogis at Gold's Gym --she solidified her passion for instructing.

Jocelyn now has her own Rooftop Yoga business in Downtown Los Angeles and is a Yoga Alliance certified 200-hr RYT and 100-hr RPYT instructor. Her interest in the prenatal yoga specialization came due to her own personal miscarriage in 2021. She aims to support mothers-to-be and assist them in having the safest, healthiest pregnancy journey’s possible. Outside of yoga, Jocelyn loves to hike, play basketball, take spin/cycle classes, do creative writing, sing karaoke, and eat sweets! Her favorite styles to instruct are power + yin yoga.
