ABOUT ME My name is Aria, I was born in Puerto Rico and found yoga in 2012 while living and studying in NYC. My journey into yoga began at Yoga to the People and it immediately changed the course of my life. I soon realized yoga to be a powerful tool for self-transformation, which unites one’s mind, body and spirit with the divine force within. I have always been a seeker and my studies into yoga inspired me to travel and see the world. In 2016 I moved to Australia where I worked with Greenpeace. This experience changed my perspective on the importance of living consciously through our actions. Everything in my life changed as I found a deeper relationship with yoga. I wanted to learn from the source, so I decided to pursue my yoga teacher training with Bharath Shetty, founder of Indea Yoga in Mysore, India. Upon my return to Puerto Rico in 2017, I began Island Yoga for the people of Culebra. My hope is that this practice helps us connect with who we really are by purifying our minds and strengthening our body’s that we may create a deeper relationship with ourselves and others in order to hear the truth of who we are.

Hi, I'm Florencia Colón, a 500hr Trauma Informed YT and the founder of Collective Healing. Born and raised in the west side of Puerto Rico, my passion lies in helping others heal from trauma by regulating their nervous system through the practice of yoga. Through various tools such as asana, meditation, journaling, 1:1 mentoring, Ayurveda, and more, I encourage my students to develop an understanding of their own nervous system and create nervous system elasticity. As someone who values the importance of holding space for others, I aim to provide my students with the tools they need to explore their own healing journey at their own pace. Alongside my dedication to yoga, I also enjoy the combat sport Jiu Jitsu, and I love exploring the polarities between the two. My classes, mostly Hatha style, range from soft to more fluid, and you can always expect to do some mantra chanting, meditation, and receive a yummy sound healing experience at the end. As a teacher, I emphasize the importance of body autonomy and aim to serve as a guide rather than an authority, allowing my students to move through their practice in a way that feels best for them. See you on the mat!

I was born and raised in NY and began my yoga practice during high school with Bikram yoga. I have been practicing yoga for over 15 years and completed her 200 Hr YTT certification through Yoga Alliance in October 2020.

I have taught yoga at studios, gyms, private clients, kids programs, prenatal clients, and has her own online yoga business, Vow To Bow. My goal as a yoga guide is to lead students on a journey of self-discovery through movement. I believes that yoga can shift mindsets, bringing people happiness on and off the mat. Most importantly, I value practice over perfection and love to students shine after every session.

I would love to help you reach you maximum potential! Let me explain my background, to you. I have been teaching movement to dancers since 2002 in Osaka Japan. In 2007 I was certified in all of the Pilates apparatus ( Mat, Reformer, Cadillac, Chair and Barrel) in Vancouver, Canada. In 2009 I spent 4 months in India, to study and complete a Yoga certification. As each training added a new layer to my teaching style I became increasingly in demand in Vancouver and Toronto as a Pilates instructor, teaching the bulk of my hours as private sessions. In 2013 my family relocated to Washington DC and I began to lead teacher trainings in Yoga and Pilates. I am a consistent practitioner of many movement modalities , attending classes wherever I work/teach, as well as travel. We are an avidly traveling family! Forever a student and a traveller; I believe there is something I can learn from everyone. This year marks my third year on the west coast of Puerto Rico. I will be here until July 1st, with plans to return again November 1st, 2024. I teach many styles of Yoga as well as all Pilates apparatus. I believe that movement is integral to regulating the nervous system and balancing the life experience. If I am not I the studio you might find me some place in the sea!

Born and raised in New Jersey, I found yoga around ten years ago and it transformed my life. I traveled to India to complete my 200 hour YTT in Rishikesh, learning new levels of Hatha and Ashtanga asanas. As I continue to deepen my practice, yoga coexists with all other aspects of my life. We become aware that yoga is a way of living, beyond our practice on the mat. Through using the tools of asana, meditation, pranayama, mantra we are able to connect with ourselves on a deeper level. We store a lot of emotions within our physical body. In asana, we physically move energy around in the body. This can help us release built up emotion and avoid stagnation. As a yoga guide, my intention is to hold space for everyone on their journey. Each class is there for us to connect our mind, body, spirit. Asana is a moving meditation, I hope to create that comfort and peace within. Even though we are all on our own paths it is beautiful to come together and practice the oneness of yoga. The energy we give to others is what we receive!
