About – Yownn Yoga


Here at Yownn Yoga we’re a fun loving, playful and optimistic family, just like our Founder Bonolo Phaladze, a witty and creative doer whose motto is “If it’s to be, it’s up to me!”

We believe in the power of tiny gains, incremental growth and we appreciate the beauty of the journey. We know how daunting starting a fitness journey can be, we’ve been there. It is for this reason that we design our yoga classes to meet you exactly where you are, whether at home, in your office or during your travels. As a busy professional, sometimes your health takes a back seat because just the thought of gym in itself can feel like an insurmountable task; the high energy, the loud music, the hyped instructors and the over enthusiastic toned bodies in designer clothing.

More often than not, our days are packed to the gills with deadlines, meetings, presentations and let’s not forget the competition; is it no wonder the thought of an adrenaline packed gym can be unappealing to most of us professionals? If you find yourself nodding in resonance then you’re definitely part of the Yownn Yoga tribe. At Yownn Yoga we pride ourselves in making wellness accessible and kinder. We love the quieter spaces, where we can truly connect with nature, but still reap the benefits of a good workout. Our classes are deliberately small so that we see you, because we want every person to feel seen. Yownn Yoga offers virtual yoga classes ranging between 30 – 90 minutes and free short yoga classes ranging between 5 minutes to 20 minutes. If you’re based in Gaborone we offer in-person classes at our laid back and friendly outdoor yoga shala in Extension 9. The free short yoga classes intend to meet you halfway on those days; the days where your professional life is in disarray and you feel like a good stretch to relieve stress and find your centre but your time is limited
