Arlene Jones, aka AJ, is a Certified Fitness Coach, Yoga Teacher, and Reiki & Guided Mediation Coach. She received her first 200 E-RYT in 2000 at Barefoot Yoga Studio in Wichita, Kansas, and has been leading yoga and meditation workshops for over 30 years. I first met her in a yoga class she teaches at Lifetime Fitness in Mansfield, Texas. I quickly noticed there was something magnetic about her energy. On multiple accounts, I’ve overheard other students say, “I wish I could just bottle up some of AJ’s energy and take it home with me.” There was equally something inspiring and healing about her optimism and enthusiasm despite the turbulent times we are going through collectively. When you need a pick-me-up, AJ swoops in and illuminates the inner light within you, giving you the affirmations you need to hear to find balance, strength, and health so that you can continue to live to the fullest. She has touched the hearts of many and continues to do so daily. I am honored to deepen my practice under her guidance and consider her not just a friend but rather a “guru grandma."
