About YaYa
Ayana “YaYa” Joseph, is an international yoga teacher, entrepreneur and women’s rights advocate.
Certified as an E-RYT, Ayana first stepped on to the mat in 2005 - (the heart of brotherly love, Philadelphia, PA) – and never looked back! Blown away by the empowering results of Baptiste Yoga had on her body, mind and spirit, she quickly began her journey as a volunteer administrator, studio manager and assistant yoga teacher.
Ayana has completed over 500 hours of continued studies and teacher trainings, influenced by many of the best in the industry, including master teacher and mentor Baron Baptiste.
Her company, YaYa Power Yoga is an award winning recipient of the New Jersey Association of Women Business Owners (NJAWBO) S.E.E.D grant and can be seen as a featured commercial for “Master Class” series on OWN (Oprah Winfrey Network). As an international wellness brand YaYa Power Yoga continues to inspire and empower others to practice excellence, authenticity and integrity both on and off the mat!
Currently, Ayana has returned from teaching and living in Hong Kong, China – her second home – and is currently relocated stateside in the USA!
Her “off the mat life” includes traveling, shopping, dining with friends, catching the latest blockbuster flicks, and enjoying Sunday church services.
