My path to yoga is a powerful story of transformation, healing, and self-love. After facing serious health challenges—including heart attacks and a knee replacement and Osteoporosis—I was introduced to yoga as part of my recovery. What began as a doctor’s suggestion soon became my life’s work. I lost 190 pounds and gained a new sense of purpose through yoga. I am a 1008-hour RYS Bhakti yoga teacher with over four years of Ayurvedic study and five years of anatomy training. My classes are heart-centered, accessible, and rooted in lived experience. I deeply understand the vulnerability of starting—or restarting—a wellness journey and brings compassion, encouragement, and inspiration to every student I meet. Sharing this with YTT 200 Yoga students is and has been my dream that has come true. Hosting Yoga Retreats in Mexico has been my dream and now sold out retreats speaks loud and clear this is my calling. I have been married to my best friend Steve for over 48 years. Together we've built a beautiful life with three children, 11 grandchildren, and six great-grandchildren. I love kayaking, hiking, biking on my e-bike, and traveling the country in my motorhome surrounded by family and lifelong friends. I currently teach at Brentwood and Walnut Creek YogaSix in Brentwood, Ca. my energy, wisdom, and radiant spirit make me an inspiring teacher and guide for those seeking healing, balance, and deeper connection.

Felicity Odell
Yoga Teacher • Wellness Retreat Leader • Lifelong Seeker of Joy & Connection Felicity is a curious soul and lifelong seeker—drawn to movement, people, and meaningful experiences. From childhood as a swimmer and ice skater to marathon running and yoga, movement has always been her medicine. It’s not optional—it’s essential.Her yoga journey began in her twenties and deepened in her forties when she felt a strong calling to teach. She is certified through CorePower Yoga (200-hour based on the Baptiste method), Yoga Sculpt, YogaSix, and the Prison Yoga Project (trauma-informed, mindfulness-based). Felicity blends strength, softness, and spirit in every class—and remains forever a student of yoga’s vast teachings.In June 2025, she will begin a five-month coaching program at the MindBodyGreen Institute—a globally respected program that blends the science of functional medicine with the art of coaching. Her focus includes mental health as we age, food as medicine, movement as a gateway to healing, and the vital role of community and purpose in living a meaningful life. This next chapter aligns beautifully with her passion for wellness, self-discovery, and whole-person healing. She looks forward to weaving these teachings into her yoga offerings and wellness retreats, creating even more transformative, personalized experiences for those she serves.A proud mother of three and joyful grandmother to a beautiful baby girl, Felicity is also a passionate traveler. She has explored Europe, Southeast Asia, India, Japan, and Mexico, with Cambodia and Vietnam on the horizon. She feels especially connected to third world countries, where the raw beauty, resilience, and spirit of the people touch her deeply.Her teaching style is grounded in service, humor, vulnerability, and kindness—creating space for others to feel welcome, inspired, and free to explore their own light. Felicity teaches in both the San Francisco Bay Area and Troncones, Mexico, leading small-group retreats and teaching regularly at Present Moment and Radiant Heart studios. She offers Vinyasa, Yoga Sculpt, Restorative, and Yoga Nidra, and believes the collective energy of practice keeps us connected—to ourselves and one another.
