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!

Hello, my name is Fabiola Alejandra. I share my gifts and passions, through the holistic world—a space where the mind, body and spirit live in perfect union. I began to learn new ways of relating to myself and my internal world between 2020 and 2021 after a super challenging and transformative process for me, a moment that led me to investigate disciplines and teachings from the East such as Reiki, Mindfulness, Meditation, Yoga, Ayurveda and more. It also inspired me to co-create safe spaces, full of love, healing and growth and free of judgment, for those around me (@tusafeplace_).  I have been blessed to study in schools and learn from teachers who encourage me to continue contributing to individual and collective well-being. Among them are @IIN Institute of Integrative Nutrition, @terapeutaholisticapr Dr. Vanessa Negrón, @aeroyoga_puertorico @bodhiyogaschool and @trueyogaschoolindia where I recently completed 300 hours of training in Ladakh, India—incorporating Hatha Yoga, Vinyasa Yoga, Pranayama, Mantras, Yoga Nidra, and Dance and Embodiment of chakras to my expansive toolbox. In my free time I enjoy sharing simple reminders through Always Reminders, a podcast that was born thanks to my love for deep and meaningful conversations and  curiosity about topics that are not usually talked about on a daily basis.

! My name is Mariel Almonte, I was born and raised in the mountains of Cayey, Puerto Rico. I discovered yoga in 2015 and completed my 200-hour training in 2020. As a chiropractor with a profound passion for women's health and physical therapy, I focused my practice and education on the needs of pregnant and postpartum women. Along with my husband, Jose, I own a chiropractic practice in Aguada, PR (please come visit!) and we have a dog named Milo!
