What People Are Saying

“Nya's presence as a public figure and leader in the Yoga community is a gift. Her teaching, her mentorship, and her dedication as an anti-racist educator provides a powerful contribution towards a much-needed change in the "wellness world". As a white cis-gendered male teacher in the public domain, I have found Nya's work to be educational and clarifying. I came out of her Anti-Oppressive Wellness Workshop with a new language and a new understanding of my own privilege. With the tools and insights gained from studying with Nya and Soulga, I feel more equipped and ready to contribute meaningfully as a teacher - knowing I work and exist within a system built to maintain my privilege at the cost of others.”

“Working with Nya has been an absolute success and pleasure! Her cues and transition make it easy to follow, I very rarely need to look up because she’s so thorough. My student-athletes also really enjoy her as an instructor, I’ve noticed improvements in their flexibility, awareness, and outlook on the practice of yoga. We love our sessions with Nya!”

“The anti-Black racism workshop held in November 2021 was not only informative but also impactful. Its content explored the roots and origins of Anti-Black Racism which strengthening the participants resolve to continue the work of confronting ABR on a personal level and at a societal level. The facilitator Nya, was well prepared, informative, and articulate. Her enthusiasm, knowledge and insights engaged participants. She created a supportive and inclusive environment, that enabled informed dialogue, and provided a beneficial learning experience for all in attendance.”

“This will be the third time I am taking an anti-oppressive wellness seminar with Nya. I own a yoga studio in Toronto, and I asked Nya if she could lead a five hour session with our yoga teacher training students, to get them to be introspective and engage in addressing the oppressive tendencies that are deeply rooted in wellness spaces. We had students from various backgrounds, and Nya did a wonderful job at igniting discussion and making sure that all the students participated, felt heard, and comfortable asking any questions.

Nya teaches from a humble place of genuine care and curiosity, taking the time to address various issues. Everyone feels comfortable in her presence, which is a precursor to encouraging honest conversation. If a student asks a question that is beyond Nya‘s background, she does not pretend to know or answer on behalf of others. Although her knowledge and understanding is extensive, the scope of these topics are so vast that it is only appropriate to demonstrate that the work is never done, and there are some things that can only be answered by someone who has experienced said situation personally. She leads by example, which is a true quality of a leader.”
