ONEIKA MAYS 
JOY REVOLUTIONIST

I am a multi-hyphenate facilitator (LMT, 

E-RYT, CMT)who leads with joy, passion, and wisdom. I am a grounded leader with lived experience that centers on mindfulness and transformation. As a Black, queer feminist I bring a poignant lens to building a world that is more compassionate and understanding. With deep roots and knowledge in Buddhist and yogic teachings, I deliver practical application and authentic connection through my facilitation skills. With openness and vulnerability, I facilitate the space to talk about change and embrace every part of ourselves.

I have been practicing yoga for more than 20 years, and guiding yoga and meditation for more than a decade. Since then, I have used my knowledge to support social justice nonprofits and historically excluded communities. I served as the Mindfulness Coach at Rikers Island Correctional Facility for 4 years and am currently a teacher for Yoga International, an inclusive and accessible online studio with classes designed for every level of practice.

My ability to take big ideas and distill them down into understandable and relatable learnings allows me to show up as a conduit for transformation. I am your teacher, your auntie, your friend, and an intuitive soul here for the work of personal and collective liberation. From mindfulness and movement classes to keynote addresses and board meetings, I consistently deliver a practical application of transformative practices at the intersection of joy and disruption. Book me as your next wellness speaker, yoga teacher trainer, or retreat guide.
