Oneika Mays (CMT-P, E-RYT, LMT) is a multi-hyphenate facilitator who leads with joy, passion, and wisdom. As a Black, queer feminist she brings a poignant lens to building a world that is more compassionate and understanding. With deep roots and knowledge in Buddhist and yogic teachings, Oneika delivers practical application and authentic connection through her facilitation.

Oneika has been practicing yoga for more than 20 years, and guiding yoga and meditation for more than a decade. Since then, she has used her knowledge to support social justice nonprofits and historically excluded communities. She served as the Mindfulness Coach at Rikers Island Correctional Facility for 4 years and is currently a teacher for Yoga International, an inclusive and accessible online studio with classes designed for every level of practice. She is your teacher, your auntie, your friend, and an intuitive soul here for the work of personal and collective liberation. You can see Oneika on the docuseries Lost Resort on TBS. Oneika’s memoir You Can Sit With Me will be published by Harper One in April 2026.
