Jona Ellis

Jona is a therapeutic yoga educator, breath work facilitator, and movement disruptor challenging outdated ideas about aging, injury, and what bodies are capable of. Rooted in yoga's foundations while informed by contemporary movement science, Jona teaches through a post-lineage lens - honoring tradition without being limited by it. Their work has been shaped by studies with Jason Crandell, more than 1,000 hours of anatomy education, and decades of learning alongside the students and private clients who continue to be some of their greatest teachers. Before teaching yoga, Jona spent two decades with Nike developing mindfulness-based programming for employee sport and fitness centers - long before 'workplace wellness' became a trend. Their teaching is science-informed, practical, and deeply human. No promises of fixing, perfecting, or transforming — just a smart conversation with the body you have today.
