About Aarona Lea:
author & co-creator of The Moon Deck
emotional health advocate, speaker, & author
yoga and ritual wellness teacher
Inspired by 23 years of yoga, 14 years as a yoga teacher and wellness adviser, a BFA in photography, and a love of writing and travel - Aarona is deeply inspired to share her growth and tools with others.
Starting her healing journey as a child, Aarona had a natural pull towards spirit and magic which helped her to feel safe and connected during unstable times. Her curiosity led her on a life-long path of study, practice, and ritual where she explored the shadowy depths of healing trauma, recovered from bulimia and chronic binge/cleanse cycles, and continues to help normalize conversations around emotional health. She’s influenced by several yoga traditions and personal-development roadmaps which have consistently guided her to healing and purpose through the path of self-love. As the author and co-creator of 'The Moon Deck', Aarona teaches practices and rituals to help bring balance and perspective to life's greatest breaths and is on
a mission to creatively collaborate with other conscious change-makers.
Aarona offers private and group Intuitive Oracle Readings with The Moon Deck, facilitates empowering workshops and retreats worldwide, teaches yoga classes in LA and NYC, and runs The Moon Deck biz full time. She's been featured in Mind Body Green, Free People BLDG25 Blog, New York Times, Self Magazine, National Geographic Traveler UK, Teach.Yoga, The Beauty Book, The Weather Channel, Wall Street Journal, Fréttblaðið of Iceland, Times of India, Origin Magazine, the cover of FitYoga, NBC, Elephant Journal, Yoga Journal, AlignYo, Well+Good NYC, and Co-Creator Radio.
