For most of her life, Yamila was a competitive swimmer, and she craved a different form of movement to further connect with her body and spirituality. Then she found yoga. Yamila had been practicing yoga since 2015 inconsistently, but finally began a consistent practice in 2020 which motivated her to pursue her 200 hour teacher training. 

Needing a change of pace and balance while she pursued an environmental science undergraduate degree, she joined Ritual Hot Yoga as a concierge to learn more about yoga. This sparked her teaching bug again, and she is excited to continue spreading knowledge and the love of movement to Ritual!
