Carney
CHIEF MOVEMENT ARTISAN
I understand what it feels like to be stressed, unbalanced, and disconnected.
I, too, searched for holistic solutions to achieve physical fitness, emotional regulation, and mental clarity. Through my personal journey with yoga and mindfulness, I discovered a way to bring balance into my life, and now I am passionate about sharing that with others. My compassionate approach ensures that every program I design is tailored to meet the unique needs of each individual or group.
With years of experience in yoga, mindfulness, and wellness instruction, I have had the privilege of developing and implementing successful programs for a wide range of audiences.
From supporting schoolchildren with social-emotional learning to helping corporate teams enhance productivity and mental clarity, my work has proven to be both impactful and transformative.
Schools, organizations, and community leaders trust me for my expertise in creating inclusive, accessible, and meaningful wellness experiences that truly make a difference.
Jamila's Journey
From an early age, Jamila Carney’s love for movement was undeniable—dancing before she could walk and continuing her passion throughout her life. She found ways to integrate dance into her journey, eventually becoming a choreographer and consultant for dance ministries. In 2013, after the birth of her youngest son, she pursued Tae Kwon Do, earning a brown belt and a place in the Tae Kwon Do Hall of Fame. It was through martial arts that Jamila was introduced to yoga to improve flexibility, but she soon discovered it offered much more than physical benefits.ā

Yāoga became a transformative tool, deepening her relationship with herself and God. Encouraged by her mentor, Jamila pursued teacher certification in 2018 and began sharing yoga with others. Inspired by her faith and personal growth, she envisioned a practice that combined movement with spiritual exploration, leading to the birth of Agape Yogastry in 2020.

āDespite facing personal and professional challenges, including an unexpected job loss, Jamila remained steadfast in her mission. Through Agape Yogastry, she empowers individuals to stretch beyond their perceived limits, using yoga as a tool for physical, mental, and spiritual growth, and guiding them to a deeper connection with themselves and their Creator.
