Meet the teachers
Rondy (he, him, dude.) is your brother, show him some love, and give him a hug! Yoga got into him like a high school crush. It felt sooooo good. He took his first Vinyasa yoga teacher training in 2014 and then completed a 200-hour Power Yoga teacher training, and never looked back! He led classes in Stuttgart Germany for refugees, opened (and closed) a yoga studio, became an ambassador for fitkids.org and Black Boys Om, helped develop a trauma-based yoga program for male-presenting youth with Art of Yoga, and started his own brand of yoga - Barbershop Yoga (yoga for Black men & boys). He is still crushing on yoga, and is excited to share his love of yoga with BTY. His class features a deep warm-up and upbeat, energetic flow, dope playlists, emphasizing power, movement, and balance asanas. Focusing on mind, body, and breath-connections, students will benefit from a traditional yoga practice with a soul-full spin.
Satya de la Paz (she/her) is a student of Yoga and life. She has 15 years of experience teaching Yoga, dance, and meditation. As a Queer, multi-racial Black woman, Satya offers Yoga as a means of collective and personal liberation and decolonization. She infuses dynamic alignment, chanting, storytelling, and community-building into her classes. She recently completed a 2 year mindfulness teacher training program led by Tara Brach and Jack Kornfield. She is deeply grateful for all her teachers including Spring Washam, Sianna Sherman, Abby Tucker, Rob Preece, and Sally Kempton. Honoring the traditions of Hatha Yoga, Tantra Yoga, and Tibetan Buddhism, she empowers multiracial, multi-gender, and multigenerational groups to awaken their true nature of awareness and bliss.
Armani highly values, respects, and considers wholistic, wellness practices to enhance her quality of life and encourages others to find practices that work for them. In class experiences, she empowers students with tools and actions to support their unique, wellness journeys. Before completing her 200-hour yoga certification in early 2020, she began to intentionally integrate aspects of the yoga lifestyle -- postures, breathwork, self-study, and meditation -- into her habits.

Armani teaches from a compassionate, yet empowering, place. Oftentimes, we are more difficult on ourselves than others; which can avert us from believing in our own power. Re-energizing our awareness of our mind-body-soul connection is how we start to transform. She aims to provide descriptive classes so all levels can join in this practice of mindfulness and movement.
