Have you felt a pull?
Maybe a voice telling you it’s time to go deeper into your practice, to share yoga in a way that truly transforms lives—including your own? 🌿
If you’ve looked at big corporate trainings or faraway retreats and thought, “That’s not the experience I’m looking for” — we got you.
Our YTT is built differently:
✔️ A small intimate cohort for deep connection
✔️ Mentorship, personal feedback, investment into YOU as a teacher with us that you can’t get in a crowd
✔️ A welcoming diverse and inclusive community, a place to stay and grow with
✔️ Rooted in healing through the mind–body connection with seasoned, heart-led teachers
📅 Our next 200HR trauma-sensitive training has only 10 days left to enroll. Join our mission of providing yoga for ALL bodies and backgrounds.
🎓 Scholarships + sliding scale options available.
💌 Questions? Here for all of them!

💙 Teacher Spotlight 💙

Mandy Natsuhara is a trauma-informed, Anusara-Inspired Yoga Teacher, and a Sound Healing Facilitator. Mandy loves hosting events that foster connection and community. While she finds herself in the seat of the teacher, she knows herself to be a forever student of yoga.

Mandy works in cancer research and from her time working directly with terminally ill patients and facing death often, she found the practice of yoga in search for a deeper meaning in life. Once on the path, her life transformed and she developed a deep appreciation for the practice and its ancient wisdom.

As a yoga instructor and sound healing facilitator, Mandy is passionate about offering and holding sacred space for others to come back home to themselves, remember who they truly are, and to heal. Mandy teaches with a warm and welcoming nature that brings meaning to practice, and that invites you show up exactly as you are.

We’re so excited for you to meet Mandy, catch her Yin class Thursdays at 530pm!

Hi Union Fam, please welcome Florencia to the team!

Florencia Colón Pérez is a Puerto Rico-born, 500-hour certified yoga teacher with a trauma-informed approach.
Florencia completed her 200-hour certification in Trauma-Informed Yoga, Ayurveda, and Social Justice Yoga at SoulWork™, studying under Marianne Trauten and Dra. Andrea Borbón. There, she focused on integrating trauma awareness and conscious business practices into her teaching. She continued her education with a 300-hour certification under Karuna Tribu, deepening her knowledge in trauma-informed and somatic practices, as well as Ayurveda, with mentorship from Sharon Brenes. She also completed 20 hours of continuing education with Karuna Tribu to further refine her expertise.
Her teaching blends Hatha-Vinyasa with mindful movement and breathwork. Beyond asana and pranayama, her classes encourage students to befriend their nervous systems, explore its fluctuations, and engage with somatic practices to identify and name bodily sensations.
Florencia’s approach is deeply influenced by her studies of Ayurveda and yoga philosophy, which she weaves into her classes to promote holistic well-being and self-awareness.
Outside of her teaching, Florencia has been a Healing Circle Facilitator for over four years, having led more than 40 events to support healing and transformation. She has also guided women’s retreats and intensive 1:1 mentoring programs, offering a space for deep personal growth and healing from trauma.
With every class, Florencia invites students to explore their bodies, minds, and spirits with compassion, curiosity, and a focus on holistic healing.

Florencia will be a lead teacher on our upcoming 200-hour Yoga Teacher Training! You won’t want to miss it.
