Aya Wells

Certified Yoga Instructor
Aya Wells, yoga instructor at Golden Root Yoga

Aya is an E-RYT® 200 and RYT® 500 teacher. Her original practice is Baron Baptiste Power Yoga and recent practice is Ashtanga Yoga. Yoga gives her wonderful opportunities to grow physically and mentally in her life. Aya’s favorite thing about teaching yoga is sharing her love of practice, enthusiasm and big smiles. She is happy to see students grow in their own practice on and off the mat. It could be like Tree pose in which you make roots, find your balance and create space for something new. Let worries go and be present.

When you are in her class you can feel growth, grounding, possibility and relaxation. She encourages students to see the different views and new possibilities, and to allow themselves to relax. Also, her class will give you strength and flexibility. Students will learn postures in a proper, neat, and right manner to benefit them.

Aya is originally from Japan and has been living with her husband in Savannah since 2009. She is a pharmacist in Japan, runs her family business here, and is the mother of her baby dog Koko. She loves food and live music! When she is not on her mat you can find her at various cafes or restaurants or at music concerts. Come to see her!
