Ayanna Wells(she/her)

Ayanna is a lifelong athlete who first found yoga in a search for community and belonging. After completing her 200 HR yoga instructor certification with her home studio, extendYoga in Rockville, MD in 2018, she immediately started teaching yoga and its philosophy to a variety of bodies, abilities, and belief systems from mixed martial artists, older adults, children, and college students at American University. Her passion for yoga centers around introducing the practice to people who wouldn’t traditionally be exposed to it and encouraging her students to go inward for a better understanding of self. Her business, Ayanna L Wellness LLC, focuses on educating people on how to live a healthy lifestyle through physical activity, yoga, meditation, and healthy eating ultimately impacting future generations.
