Lonnie Webb, Founder
Hey, I’m Lonnie, a 200 hour Registered Yoga Instructor. I am the granddaughter of Peggy Joyce Fowler and Debra Joyce Webb.
I, Lonnie Joyce named my wellness and yoga company Rooted in Joy to honor my grandmothers whose joyous spirits will forever be ROOTED in me. Their inspiration shaped my passion for spreading joy to others through yoga and wellness.
I discovered yoga while navigating a difficult time in my life. I initially started practicing yoga to manage my emotional instability. Now, 14 years later, I continue to practice yoga to grow stronger both mentally and emotionally.
An important lesson I’ve learned through my yoga practice is that you can show up on your mat and walk away feeling renewed even when life is at its messiest.
I completed my 200 hour Yoga Alliance training with United Yoga in San Dimas, CA. As a yoga instructor, my goal is to create a safe space for all people, particularly women of color and new yogis, to relieve stress and cultivate joy.
Even when life is at its messiest, you can show up on your mat and walk away feeling renewed.
You are welcome here
While my desire to lose weight and shed some emotional baggage brought me to yoga almost 14 years ago, my passion for making yoga more accessible is why I became an instructor.
I know how it feels to take a yoga class and not see people of color, especially if you are a black woman. Rooted in Joy is my call to action, acknowledging the state of systematic oppression and inequality that can be felt within the yoga industry.
You deserve a safe and accessible space to work towards physical, spiritual, and emotional healing. When taking a Rooted in Joy class, you will feel free to show up as your most authentic self. Join me on the mat!
I look forward to connecting with you.
