Trauma-informed yoga and resilience programming for incarcerated individuals, reentry populations, and high-pressure leadership environments.
What We Do
Structured, trauma-informed yoga and resilience programming designed for high-pressure environments.
Structured yoga and nervous system regulation sessions within correctional facilities, rehabilitation environments, and community organizations. Programs focus on emotional regulation, accountability, impulse control, and discipline-based personal development.
Workshops designed to support formerly incarcerated individuals and at-risk populations with structured coping tools, routine-building, and stress management practices.
Resilience training for executives, teams, and high-performance professionals. Sessions focus on nervous system mastery, burnout prevention, emotional regulation, and sustainable leadership performance.
Open workshops and special events designed for individuals seeking structured discipline-based yoga training. These programs generate revenue to sustain community and institutional initiatives.
Founder-led talks and consulting engagements focused on rehabilitation through discipline, trauma-informed leadership, and transformation in high-pressure environments.
Training formerly incarcerated individuals as certified peer mentors and facilitators. Participants develop leadership skills, gain credentials, and guide others through reentry using lived experience and structured methodology.
About the Organization
Not Your Average Yogi is a mission-driven organization delivering trauma-informed yoga and resilience-based programming in high-pressure environments.
We work with incarcerated individuals, individuals in reentry, and leadership professionals to build emotional regulation, discipline, and structured accountability through movement and breathwork.
Our platform operates through a hybrid model — combining institutional and community programming, leadership workshops and corporate training, paid public workshops and events, speaking engagements, and donations and sponsorships.
"The goal is to build a sustainable organization that bridges rehabilitation, leadership development, and nervous system regulation. We are structured, serious, and results-oriented."
Structure and accountability through intentional movement and breathwork.

Measurable changes in behavior, decision-making, and emotional regulation.
Leadership
Founder & Lead Facilitator
I founded Not Your Average Yogi after rebuilding my life through discipline and structured yoga practice following incarceration. Yoga became a tool for emotional regulation, accountability, and leadership development.
Today, I deliver trauma-informed programming in institutional and high-pressure environments to help individuals build resilience, structure, and self-regulation.
I am driven by the belief that real rehabilitation and leadership development must include the body. Structure, breath control, and disciplined movement create measurable changes in behavior and decision-making.
"I want to bring those tools into environments where pressure is high and resources are limited."
