In my teenage years, meditation became a refuge, offering a sense of calm and clarity amidst the complexities of growing up. Discovering its power planted the seeds of a lifelong passion for well-being. This passion eventually led me to an over 10-year career as a personal trainer, where I witnessed firsthand the transformative power of movement on both the physical and mental levels. However, it was a life-changing experience studying yoga in India that ignited my dedication to Kundalini Yoga. This powerful practice, with its dynamic combination of movement, breathwork, and meditation, resonated deeply with me. But my exploration didn't stop there. I delved into the ancient art of sound healing, learning how sound vibrations can influence our physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being. Today, as a certified Kundalini Yoga teacher, I weave these two powerful modalities together in my classes. Through dynamic kriyas (yoga sets), energizing chants, deep meditations, and the integration of sound healing instruments, I create a unique and immersive experience for my students to explore their physical and spiritual potential.

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 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!
