I’m Jona Ellis, a Therapeutic Yoga Educator specializing in integrated body–mind wellness. With over 1,000 hours of anatomy-based training and 10,000 hours of teaching experience, I help people reclaim strength, balance, and ease through yoga—in spaces ranging from medical clinics and cancer centers to museums and corporate campuses.

Based in Chattanooga, Tennessee, I blend science with creativity and compassion. My work has supported communities through partnerships with NIKE, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Tivity Health, and the Hunter Museum of American Art. Physicians often refer patients to me for therapeutic yoga, pain management, and recovery support.

I specialize in yoga for cancer support and have collaborated with oncologists for over a decade, helping patients move through treatment with greater ease and agency. In 2022, I deepened this work through advanced study in oncology-informed yoga.

Before transitioning to full-time yoga, I spent 20 years at NIKE developing employee fitness, health promotion, and mindfulness programs—pioneering a holistic model of workplace well-being that continues to shape how I work today.

Whether you’re seeking therapeutic yoga, cancer support, or well - programs for your team, I offer evidence-based guidance that honors the body’s changes over time—and helps you move forward with strength and care.
