Groups, Workshops, & Classes

Groups & Workshops: I believe in empowering folks with education and knowledge. Occasionally I offer groups & workshops on a variety of topics including Filipinx-American Mental Health, Mind-body Pain Management, WOC Overcoming Impostor Syndrome, Intuitive Eating, etc.

Yoga & Mindfulness: In my yoga classes, I offer a safe space for folks to come authentically to the mat, to explore and attune to all layers of the self. I bring a gentle authenticity to the practice that welcomes all bodies, and encourages an empowering self-discovery. Bringing balance to the whole self is integral in my holistic approach. Gentle flow, mindful movement, and meditations are included in my offerings.

Kapwa Comments

“Thanks for the workshop, I left feeling strong in my body, and the fellowship of being amongst other Filipina Americans”

— Decolonizing body image workshop participant

“Viewing body as being able to be found as functional and strong and not a source of shame (hiya). I loved being in a small group setting with other Filipina Americans. Also loved ending with a physical activity that was also culturally informative and empowering.

— decolonizing body image workshop participant

“Working through uncomfortable feelings has been fulfilling. It actually feels good to slow down and feel the overwhelm rather than try to numb it.”

— past client

“Dr. Rona is a wonderful psychologist and yoga instructor. She does an excellent job leading inclusive classes with a trauma-informed approach.”
