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.

As an Army Veteran, I discovered the transformative power of yoga in 2011 when I began practicing Ashtanga. This journey led me to explore deeper dimensions of mindfulness, culminating in my daily practice of Transcendental Meditation since 2015. In 2018, I received my 200-hour yoga teacher certification from the esteemed Sivananda Yoga School in Kerala, India, followed by advanced certifications in Ashtanga (Levels 1 and 2) and a 300-hour yoga teacher certification in 2020, also in India. My goal as a yoga teacher is to create a supportive and inclusive environment where students can explore their physical and mental boundaries, fostering resilience and inner peace. Additionally, as a Vedic astrologer, I integrate the wisdom of astrology into my teachings, helping students connect with their unique energies and life paths. I am passionate about guiding others on their journey to self-discovery and holistic well-being.

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!
