Rhonda Gray

My exploration of embodied transformation began with studying dance as a child which grew into performing Haitian and Brazilian folkloric dance traditions in college that merged spirituality with movement. After college, I began practicing yoga to address injuries related to running and have not stopped with over 20 years of time on the mat. I earned a 500-hour Advanced Yoga Teacher Certification with the Himalayan Institute, a Level I Tantra Meditation Teaching Certification from Tracee Stanley and a Yoga Nidra Teacher Certification from Tracee Stanley and Dr. Chanti Tacorante-Perez. I was able to refine my personal and teaching practice through Jacoby Ballard’s Resonance Yoga Mentorship Program amplifying the principles of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion in personal and public wellness spaces. I am most grateful to my African and South Asian ancestors, relatives, teachers, and community who have made it possible to share yoga as a healing and liberating source of energy through mindful, gentle, and nourishing practices.
