Many of us have been programmed to not put our needs first and by doing so we can fall into the trap of feeling depleted and living a life without choice. The greatest gift you can give to yourself and the people you love is to take care of U FIRST. Your commitment to U will allow yourself the ability to not only SHINE like a LIGHTHOUSE but will let U share your individual gifts to the world and live your best life!
The U Institute believes that “Retreating” is a way of taking time out for U and assessing your current life decisions. Our modern day lifestyle is hectic and stressful and limited in the time and space we need to stay connected to ourselves. Technology may make life easier but it disrupts the natural rhythm of our bodies and plays a large role in our stress. Getting away from the hustle and bustle of life and dedicating time to ourselves allows us to rest, reflect, restore our priorities and get back to a life of choice.

She believes that each of us has a unique set of gifts and helping others find and nurture those gifts is what she lives for. In 2019 she created and founded The U-Institute, a leadership development and yoga teacher training company that allows her to meld her 2 passions of mental and physical health.

Latoya Adams Latoya began the incredible journey of transformational work when she walked into a hot yoga room in 2009. She went to teacher training in 2012 to become a certified Bikram yoga teacher. From that training sparked a desire to continue to learn and grow as much as she could. She has since gotten certified in Inferno Hot Pilates, traditional mat Pilates, and learned different sequences of yoga through the Open Hand Institute Teacher Training. She is now using the skills she has learned to help facilitate teacher trainings, mentor teachers, and guide incredible humans though yoga and fitness classes. She believes in passing along what she has learned to help others gain tools to live their best life.
Katy Esparza Katy is a massage therapist/body worker and yoga teacher. In her 15 years as a massage therapist, she has seen many bodies, injuries and lack of mobility. She knew that there was another way of helping clients heal. In 2013 she embarked on the nine week journey to be a Bikram yoga certified teacher. Her passion for yoga has since blossomed, and in 2015 she went through level 1 & 2 of Baron Baptise power yoga teacher training. This training brought a different level of strength and playfulness to her practice. She went on to get a 200-hour RYT through the Open Hand Institute, where she discovered all about her true self and her next path. She is also level 1 certified in iRest yoga nidra and meditation. She now coaches and leads workshops through The U Institute trainings. She truly embodies her authentic self and lives the phrase, “Talk the talk, walk the walk.”
