Oneika Mays

Massage, Yoga, and Mindfulness in Jersey City, NJ

Massage Therapist. Yoga with marginalized populations. Mindfulness.

As a yoga instructor and LMT I work with groups and provide private one-on-one instruction and/ or massage therapy and have over 1000 hours of yoga teaching experience. Trained in breathing and a background in anatomy/physiology, my goal is to passionately inspire people to take an active role in maintaining and managing optimal health. My classes in studios are powerfully charged while maintaining a focus on uniting the breath with alignment and movement. Therapeutic yoga workshops and classes incorporate gentle yoga; propped restorative poses and guided meditation to allow people to connect with self-healing and relaxation. All classes begin and end with meditation. This is foundation of my therapy and teaching style- that all movement and life begins with how one breathes and finding the body's center.

I work with several populations, including but not limited to:
High School Athletes
Chronic Illness
Cancer
Heart Disease
Seniors
Addiction/Recovery
Corporate
Fitness Studios/Gyms
Prisons

My writing about yoga and meditation has appeared on MindBodyGreen, BlogHer and other websites. I’m honored to be an official blogger for Meatless Monday, part of the Monday Campaigns, a non-profit public health initiative.

I work to serve our community as the Director of Training for Liberation Prison Yoga.

Oneika did her 200 hr teacher training with Floryoga in 2012. Oneika completed therapeutic yoga teacher training with Cheri Clampett and Arturo Peal in 2014 at Intergral Yoga in New York. In 2014 Oneika finished level I of Yoga for Cancer and Chronic Ilness with Jnani Chapman at the Intergral Yoga Institute in NYC. Oneika is grateful to all of her teachers for their guidance, wisdom and generosity of spirit.
