Rhonda Mills, 
Transformation Playground Guide

Rhonda is a joyous free spirit who is living her mission for more than two decades: to explore what’s deeply essential, and share with individuals and groups to facilitate wholeness, embodied connection and creativity.  Her trauma-informed classes, workshops, and trainings open a space of compassion, wondrous discovery and freedom.

After an international dance career including performing, choreography and teaching, Rhonda discovered yoga, meditation and ayurveda in 1999.  A new focus emerged at the intersection of her devotional spirituality, the ancient tradition of yoga, and modern influences of movement, mindfulness, and creativity.  In 2001, Rhonda began to teach yoga, and in 2003 she was initiated into the tradition of Sri Vidya by Pandit Rajmani Tigunait of the Himalayan Institute.  She studied with and assisted ParaYoga founder Rod Stryker from 2003-2009.  Rhonda completed certifications as a Big Leap Coach in 2008, a Nonviolent Communication Trainer in 2009, a ParaYoga Level II Teacher (500-hour) in 2009, and Transformational Leadership in 2010.  She facilitated and co-facilitated several year-long foundational and advanced yoga teacher trainings each year from 2010-2018.  Rhonda founded her own year-long coaching program - the Facilitator of Embodied Transformation Training - and trained groups of coaches for three years (2015-2018). 

Since 2018, Rhonda is actively engaged in the online training community of Thomas Huebl, studying meditation, Transparent Communication, and Trauma Healing Principles (individual, ancestral, and collective).  In 2020, Rhonda returned to University at Ubiquity for a B.A. Completion Degree in Global Skills, Sustainability, & Regeneration.  She intends to continue in an M.A. program in Inner Science upon completion of the B.A.  She recently completed her certificate as a NARM-Informed Professional  (Neuro Affective Relational Model for Complex Trauma).  

Since 2019, Rhonda has actively engaged in studying the collective traumas of systemic white supremacy and colonialism, to increase her capacity to disrupt domination systems internally and externally and contribute to healing.  She participated in the St. Louis YWCA Witnessing Whiteness Class Series, and completed training Spring 2021 to join a facilitating team next Fall.  She is currently enrolled in a 50-hour program for Embodied Social Justice, and also is participating in a Pocket Project Research Lab on the topic of Racialized Trauma and Reparations in the U.S.  

Rhonda continues to be an avid learner, infinitely curious about the intersection between consciousness, intention and attention, embodiment, stillness, movement, connection, leadership, and play. In addition to coaching people online, Rhonda facilitates movement classes online for the general public.  She delights in bringing her work to individuals and groups, and exploring ways to catalyze cultural transformation.
