About me
Jaime Warkonyi is a Registered Yoga Teacher (RYT500) with Yoga Alliance, which acknowledges the completion of a yoga teacher training from Asura Yoga Academy (200 hours) and Yoga Garden of Apex (300 hours), both Registered Yoga Schools (RYS).
Jaime found her breath and began #trainingforlife on her mat in 2000 while attending weekly Hatha Yoga classes at Edinboro University of Pennsylvania. Having licensure in elementary (K-6) and special education (K-12) teaching and with a Master's in School Administration (MSA) from ECU, she understands the importance of cultivating and building trusting relationships through “Seva” or service. Since her move to North Carolina in 2005, she proudly serves as an elementary school assistant principal in the Wake County Public School System. She provides access to yoga, meditation, and reiki throughout the community she serves. While living out her dharma of service to others, she advocates for self-care, wellness, inclusivity, and community resiliency.
Attuned to the Moon and mythology, Jaime crafts magickal musings into her sacred practice and rituals. There is a moon inside every human being. Learn to be companions with it. -Rumi.
“No mud, no lotus” is one of her personal mantras. She embraces the muddy waters of life, trusts the guidance of the Divine, and meditates on the #OMazing lotus garden creation before her.
