My name is Keona Gardner, and I am the founder of SafeandSeen. I hold a Bachelor of Arts in Sociology from the University of Maryland, College Park, where I developed a deep understanding of societal systems and the importance of creating inclusive spaces. As a 200-hour Registered Hatha Yoga Teacher trained at Gyan Yog Breath in Rishikesh, India, and a 75-hour Meditation Instructor through Sankofa Yoga in Laurel, MD, I bring a holistic and compassionate approach to my work.

In my teaching, I draw upon my own lived experiences and professional training to offer a space where individuals can connect with themselves and their inherent strength. My aim is to foster an environment where every person can feel empowered to live authentically, rooted in safety, softness, and resilience.
