Testimonials
Biola thoughtfully created a space where one could safely be guided through exercises to feel more grounded, present, and connected to oneself. This was a peaceful and valuable way to ground into Mother's Day, which can be so complex for many of us.

We had an incredible time resetting our selves. Communication was clear. The food was delicious. The company engaged and warm. We did so much yummy and heart expanding workshops and yoga. The villa was absolutely beautiful. My only complaint was that it wasn’t longer!

“This is going to be a good year because of the work we did over the few days together. I’m claiming it! I feel way more open and ready for what the year may bring because I’m grounded in key commitments to myself. I’m ready to start loving life and giving myself as much as I give others!”

Biola created such a beautiful and grounding experience. Her calming presence and thoughtful guidance made the virtual yoga class feel both accessible and deeply nourishing. I especially loved the journal prompts and the inspiring, uplifting music, all added a layer of reflection that made the practice even more meaningful. I left the session feeling both relaxed and energized, which is such a rare and powerful combination. I’m truly grateful for the opportunity to learn from her and can’t wait to join again.

“After attending Biola’s virtual breathwork session, I felt a much-needed sense of relaxation. It was truly a wonderful experience. Her gentle and reassuring guidance created a safe space for me to explore the power of my breath. I left the session feeling more relaxed and grounded than I have in days. I highly recommend Biola to anyone who needs help letting go and embracing the peace we all deserve.”

"Working with Biola the past two years has been such a delight. Her services are a direct match for our alumni's needs, and she delivered them with masterful precision. If you’re in need of someone who is both thoughtful and executable, look no further than Biola!"

Biola was an absolutely amazing addition to our 10 year convening. She was prompt and on time, considerate of the safety/accessibility of all of our attendees and ensured that everyone could participate in the session no matter their level of ability or comfort. I left with tools that I will be using to ground myself. I also got to see how Biola cared for and held the people in the room. She didn't feel distant and rather was checking in with our attendees and tailoring her sessions to how folks were feeling that day. It was such a privilege to have someone in the room and holding sessions that shares our vision for liberation and a commitment to similar principles. It also is such a treat to have someone who knows what organizing is and how it takes from us to help restore, ground and shift our shared culture towards one of healing. Having Biola at our convening doing our morning yogas was pivotal for the convening.

Biola led several yoga sessions at our Community Accountable Civic Engagement Cohort gathering. Her class was accessible, grounded, and left participants feeling ready for the day. In organizing convening spaces that are often full of ideas and difficult conversations it was great to have a leader who could simultaneously hold space and be present with people while providing concrete space for people to practice their breathing and engage in some physical activity together. I would highly recommend Biola for your convening.

“I attended Biola’s Vinyasa Yin Yoga class and absolutely loved it! As a yoga lover for the past eight years, I’ve been to many classes, and I can say this has been one of my favorites. Biola was attentive and patient. Plus, she had fragrant incense, which set the perfect tone for the class. I got the healing and deep stretch that I needed. I would 100% take this class again.”

“Biola's class was serene, reflective but deeply somatic as well. The perfect combination of intentionality, tenderness and body conditioning. I most enjoyed the guided deep breathing exercise in the beginning that transitioned into a slow warm-up. I left feeling very connected with my body and my mind was at ease. 10/10 will highly recommend! #NaijaNohDaeCarryLast💛”
