Tiya Caniel (she/her and they/them) is a yoga teacher, creative, and intuitive guide. Tiya leads virtual yoga sessions centered around mindful and love-driven asana practice whose yoga practice began in 2012 and developed quickly into their passion. In 2016 Tiyya completed their 200-hour certification from Asheville Yoga Center and began teaching very soon after. In addition to guiding weekly virtual offerings, Tiya also leads workshops and retreats in North Carolina and abroad. 

Tiya has had the opportunity to learn under some of the most knowledgable and authentic yoga teachers, like Kelley Palmer, Keisha Battles, Kimberley Puryear, J. Miles, Adam Whiting, Maya Breuer, Melissa Aguirre, Sierra Hollister, and Nikki Myers. If it weren't for their teachings, Tiya says, they wouldn't be the yogi or person they are.

Tiya’s guidance on + off the mat is a blend of yogic philosophy, writing, and creative play.  By sharing a variety of traditional practices of movement, breath, and meditation with writing + creative expression, they hope to help each person develop their own personal yoga practice. Tiya absolutely loves helping others facilitate healing from within by sharing tools to cultivate more peace, love, ease, and abundance.
