Rebeckah Price is a wellness advocate, yoga instructor (RYT 200), and meditation teacher, and wellness entrepreneur that draws on her wealth of knowledge of working in underserved, marginalized, racialized, and immigrant communities in Canada, the United States and the Caribbean. With a background and education in Community Development and Engagement she saw the ways in which the social determinants of health had direct impacts on one's ability to be well. As an avid yoga practitioner she saw a gap in the ways in which people had access to the necessary resources and tools to support their wellbeing. Paralleling the worlds of community development and wellness, she sought to find a more mindful balance between her work and community impact. In 2013 she founded irise yoga + wellness- as a way to connect, promote, bring awareness to and foster the inclusion of people of colour and other historically marginalized groups in yoga and wellness spaces.

In 2023 Rebeckah was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis and is actively working on creating an inclusive platform to help support people with chronic illnesses and autoimmune diseases with the resources to help them along their wellness journey.

Rebeckah’s work has been featured in: Refinery29, well + good, The Cut, Essence magazine and Reader's Digest. She has guest lectured at Universities across Canada, and taught for companies like Genuine Health, Nike, Shopify, Footlocker Canada, and many others.

Outside of teaching, mentoring, and contributing to her community, Rebeckah works to intentionally make wellness more accessible through her philanthropic work. When she is not busy wearing her many hats she can be found courtside at one of her three sons' basketball games or taking long walks in nature.
