About Umoja Yoga

Certified and registered yoga instructor Foi M. first turned to yoga as a way to slough off excess pounds. She enjoyed the physical and mental benefits of yoga so much that she signed up for teacher training, and after girding her muscle memory with the healing asanas, she began Umoja Yoga, a serene Vinyasa-focused practice housed in Jerome's Gym in Richardson.

Umoja means unity in Swahili, and Foi's classes aim to unite physical fitness with mental clarity and peace. A full calendar of daily classes offers everything from Power Yoga Flow—an intense, detoxifying session complete with linked breathing techniques—to Yoga Lunch Basics, a Vinyasa-style class where students can learn poses and improve flexibility and core strength during their lunch hour.
