  • Oneika Mays

    Facilitator

    Oneika Mays (LMT, E-RYT, CMT) transitioned to yoga and meditation after a 20-year career in corporate retail leadership. She supports social justice non-profit organizations; teaches meditation and yoga inside jails; and is the first Mindfulness Coach at Rikers Island Correctional Facility. She believes that our justice system needs to focus on transformation and restoration rather than punishment. The notions of liberation and compassion are woven into her work, whether in a jail, speaking to audiences, or teaching meditation. She also facilitates workshops and trainings centered around resilience, liberation, and compassion, and believes that meditation, movement, and mindfulness practices can forge a path to freedom.
