Ivonne Miller

Hi! I’m Ivonne

Yoga, breath work and meditation teacher, coach & intuitive reiki healer. My passion is to create spaces for conscious movement, connection and healing.

I was born and raised in Guayama, Puerto Rico surrounded by nature and spirituality. After completing my Multidisciplinary B.A. in Advertising, Education and Psychology from Sacred Heart University, I moved to Miami to further my education completing a Masters in Management Information Systems from Nova South Eastern University. I later relocated to New York City to pursue a career on advertising where I found employment as a member of the New York Magazine digital advertising team. It was during my time in New York City that my vision and priorities started to shift. 

 In February 2017 with more than a decade of yoga practice I realized my true passion for yoga. I completed a 200 hour teacher training program at the Yandara Yoga Institute in B.C.S., Mexico. In February 2019 I completed a 300 hour advance teacher training at the same facility. During my time in Mexico, I discovered the wonderful healing effects of Reiki and became a certified Reiki Master. I am very passionate about learning and I am always looking for ways to continue my education.

I believe the body requires movement to remain agile and strong; but it also needs stillness and serenity in order to restore balance. Supported by multiple trainings my classes are infused with a creative, personal touch.

Somos las Lobas Retreat

Women’s transformative retreat in Casa Alternavida - Rio Grande, Puerto Rico!

Welcome, wild and adventurous souls! Are you ready to embark on a transformational journey like no other?

Picture yourself surrounded by the lush beauty of El Yunque, the enchanting rainforest that will serve as our sacred playground. Feel the warm sand between your toes as we explore the pristine beaches of Puerto Rico, letting the waves wash away any remnants of stress or worries. Immerse yourself in the magic of Chakradance, a powerful fusion of movement and meditation, igniting the fire within you.

Indulge in the decadence of cacao ceremonies, where we will connect with the ancient wisdom of this sacred plant medicine, opening ourselves to profound healing and transformation. Experience the power of breathwork as we dive deep into our inner realms, unlocking the dormant energy within and releasing what no longer serves us. And let us come together in a mesmerizing fire ceremony, where we will release our intentions to the universe, igniting our passions and embracing our wild woman spirit.

But this retreat is not just about the activities; it's about the sisterhood we will form, the connections we will make, and the transformation we will undergo together. I am committed to curating an experience that goes beyond the surface, one that reaches into the depths of your being, inspiring you to embrace your true, authentic self.

Through daily yoga practices, guided meditations, and soul-stirring workshops, we will tap into our inner power, reclaiming our wild essence and stepping into our feminine strength. Join me and a tribe of like-minded women as we embark on this adventure of self-discovery, healing, and empowerment.

Spaces are limited, so secure your spot today. Be bold, be fearless, and let your wild woman howl in Puerto Rico!
