Joneil

Joneil is a devoted student of Sri Dharma Mittra and the owner of Living Yoga. He believes yoga offers a powerful set of tools for achieving physical health and wellness, emotional healing and mental clarity, and most importantly, Self-discovery. He found yoga in 2011, when it helped him overcome the loss of a beloved pet.

A Dharma Yoga Registered Teacher, Joneil’s classes can be challenging, but he always encourages students to explore their limits safely. It brings him tremendous joy to see them achieve poses they never thought possible. In the style of his guru, his classes include a variety of backbends, hip openers, and at least one headstand. He also incorporates mantras, pranayama, and meditation for a complete practice.

Joneil spent nearly 2 decades as a television news producer, winning 2 Emmys, a Peabody, and a DuPont-Columbia Award for his work. As a former journalist at ABC News, CNN, and CBS News, he has a keen understanding of how yoga can help alleviate some of the intense pressures of the corporate world.

Anne

Anne began a regular yoga practice in 2007, after moving to Forest Hills. It helped her to grow much stronger and more flexible in her body, mind and spirit. Her primary career is in corporate training and adult education, so when the opportunity came up to be trained to teach yoga, she jumped at it! Yoga has given Ann so many benefits, and she's delighted to be able to share those benefits with others through teaching. Some of her classes are quiet and meditative; others are fun and playful. She enjoys encouraging her students to grow in their own practice. Ann loves to travel, play music, draw, read and go for long walks around the New York City parks.
