Avenelle Archille is founder of The Anxious Yogi Inc. She has been teaching Yoga + Anxiety workshops in studios throughout the San Francisco Bay Area for more than a decade. Her practice and teaching continue to evolve and expand through a trauma-informed, anti-oppressive, and all-body-loving lens. A former Silicon-Valley engineer and recovering perfectionist, she is on a mission to recontextualize anxiety treatments using ancestral practices to create a calmer, more resilient, and interconnected community. 
 
Avenelle trained in Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction (MSBR), anxiety management, and therapeutic yoga, in addition to 500-hours of certified training in vinyasa, restorative, and ashtanga yoga. She holds a master of electrical and computer engineering degree from the University of Wisconsin-Madison, a master of business administration degree from Southern Methodist University, and a bachelor of science degree in electrical engineering from Southern University.
