Yoga By Yonnus

Yonnus teaches from her heart while weaving in her vast knowledge of anatomy and how yoga effects the body. My journey into yoga started at her studio over 3 years ago, and her open and giving spirit that shines as she teaches resonated with me, drawing me in and left me wanting more for my mind, body and soul. First once a week, than twice, than moving from gentle to mixed level vinyasa flow, and with her support and encouragement I just finished her 2^nd yoga teacher training class at the end of July.
Her annual yoga retreats are a slice of the best dessert you have ever had… yet lasts 5 – 6 days;) She brings to life all the many aspects yoga throughout the retreat. Even giving us a bit of homework to help with our own personal journey while we are away from our busy/​stressful daily lives. But, you don’t see it as homework because she gives you bits and pieces of it in her am and pm classes leaving you wanting to explore more.
Yonnus has the ability to reach many aspects of what a student may need at that particular moment… weather its helping to heal physical injuries, sooth the mind or calm the soul. I absolutely recommend a class at her studio or a private session with her 1:1. It will transform your life in such a gentle and subtle way!!!

Yonnus Becker is extraordinary! I spent so many years curious about yoga, flopping from one studio to the next… until I ment Yonnus. And a whole new world opened up to me, yoga became something so valuable, instead of just my «day off» activity. Yonnus is the perfect paring of anatomy, spirituality, maternal unconditional love, humor, teacher, philosophy and untethered JOY! I have fallen madly in love with her and her classes and I know you will to. You can’t be a yogi in L.A. and not try her classes at least once. Trust me, she’s the teacher you’ve been looking for! Her 11am classes are a great way to start your day, the 6ams I love to strengthen my practice and flow, and her 7:30 gentle class is like no other class I ever experienced, you will feel amazing afterwards! I’m also graduate of her Teacher Training program, I am now a teacher doing my best to rise to the occasion and share the knowledge, love and joy that Yonnus shares with me.

I have been taught by Yonnus for the last 4 years and I couldn’t recommend anyone better. Not only are her classes awesome, but she is an amazing spirit with a wealth of knowledge about the body. She has not only changed my physical body, but she has also changed my mental body. Yonnus got me through my pregnancy and answered all of my questions along the way. She adjusts you to make sure you are in proper alignment and has created an atmosphere in her studio, Studio Surya in Venice, that makes you never want to leave! On days when I am feeling down or out of sorts a smile or hug or «words of wisdom» in her class make the day brighter! She works with all levels and I highly suggest attending one of her classes to see for yourself.

Yonnus Becker is the BEST. I had lower back pain as well as hip issues and had tried to get into yoga for years but found most classes to be too «gym like» for my taste. Others were too slow and most didn’t cater to my needs. Then I found Yonnus. She is intuitive, talented and truly the most amazing ball of light you will ever meet. She inspires you to reach your potential through gentle and enlightening encouragement. If you are looking to get into yoga or want something more from your practice, Yonnus is your path. She will help you get to your goals and/​or heal any injuries in a safe and comfortable environment. I encourage everyone I know to take a class with Yonnus. You will not be disappointed!
