  • Additional Certifications: Level 1 Reiki practitioner, currently working on Mediation and Ayurveda certifications.

 

My Mission

I believe the best way to serve my community is by offering yoga and world dance classes that promote a healthy and active lifestyle through alternative movement. By adhering to the Yoga Code of Conduct set by Yoga Alliance, I strive to bring my best to every class session.

In-Person and Private Sessions

"I first started practicing yoga in 2011, with Yolanda as the instructor. I felt comfortable being in her class because she would tell us to let go of expectations, judgments, and competition. That encouraged me to continue although I lacked confidence, was overweight and not flexible. I continued yoga because I always felt better physically and mentally after each practice. A few years later, as my confidence and fitness improved, I began taking Yoli’s belly dance classes. I’m in better shape and more energetic now than I’ve been since high school! "

Yoli was one of the biggest blessings, I could have asked for, as an instructor. When I first entered her Yoga course, I had difficulty with a lot of poses, even simple ones. My mind was too chaotic, to focus during meditation. Yoli worked with my individual interests, and helped me learn the poses, and focus my mind. She worked with various types of people, all with different strengths, and was able to adapt the class, to help all her students, and created an atmosphere that made everyone feel welcome and relaxed. I highly recommend her, as an instructor, and mentor.
