NGONE MBAYE

My yoga journey started 7 years ago while working as a French language assistant teacher for Murray Hills Wee Ones Club, a Manhattan-based preschool. Once each week, a yoga instructor taught the children yoga movements. I became inspired by the way the instructor guided the children with games, music, and books while teaching various yoga poses and stretches. A short while later I received my children’s yoga certifications from Little Flower Yoga, Urban Yoga Foundation, and Rainbow Kids Yoga.

In 2015, I completed a 200-hour yoga certification and 300-hour yoga certification at Three Sisters Yoga in New York City. In 2017, I completed a 300-hour Hatha yoga certification in Rishikesh, India.

I lead international yoga retreats in Costa Rica and Senegal. I teach yoga and meditation to the incarcerated women of Rikers Island, high schools teenagers and corporate employees.

I enjoy teaching yoga to children and adults and guide all of my students through fun, intelligent, effective yoga classes and focuses on teaching relaxation, correct posture, and mindfulness. My Goddess Yoga class invites all individuals to be present, honor and share the inner Goddess with others through uplifting movements and breathing. Every shape and all levels are welcome. I believe that yoga is for every body. After each class participants leave with a piece of peace to share with family, friends, neighbors, and strangers. My classes are gentle and accessible to everyone. Individuals are encouraged to go at your own pace whether you are a beginner or experienced.
