Meet L’Oreal Thompson Payton — our certified yoga & meditation instructor whose work is an invitation back to yourself.

L’Oreal believes wellness isn’t just what happens on the mat — it’s a sacred practice of returning home to your body, your breath, and your inner wisdom. Her classes blend mindful movement, intentional breathwork, and gentle self-inquiry to create a space where rest is honored, reflection is encouraged, and radical self-compassion is always the assignment.

Her wellness philosophy?
🧘🏾‍♀️ Rest is resistance.
💗 Softness is strength.
🌱 Healing is a lifelong journey — especially for Black women and femmes.

Whether she’s guiding a slow, soulful R&B Yoga flow or holding space in a restorative session, L’Oreal’s goal is simple: to remind you that you are already whole. No fixing. No performing. Just being.

And when she’s not leading grounding practices at The Aux Wellness Collective, she’s pouring love into community as the owner of bookstore — a cozy, intentional space rooted in joy, storytelling, and care.

Come breathe, move, and grow with L’Oreal every Thursday at 7:30p for R&B yoga. Your body will thank you.

Meet Jocelyn Davis — dancer, fitness powerhouse, and a true embodiment of resilience, strength, and determination.

A Virginia native turned Evanston entrepreneur, Jocelyn made her mark when she founded the Akemi Fitness Method, a vibrant downtown studio that energized the North Shore for eight incredible years.

Meet Shanequa Taylor, aka — the energy, intention, and empowerment behind one of your favorite classes at The Aux Wellness Collective, BeatBody.

As a Group Fitness Instructor & Personal Trainer, Shanequa brings more than workouts… she brings transformation.
Her philosophy? Movement should shape your mind just as much as your body. Fitness isn’t just reps and routines — it’s confidence, self-discovery, and a path to true self-empowerment.

With a B.S. in Exercise Science and an M.S. in Kinesiology, she blends science, experience, and heart. She’s lived through both her healthiest and her hardest seasons, and she knows what it feels like to fall out of rhythm — and how powerful it is to find your way back.

Shay’s mission is simple:
- help you stay engaged
- find your rhythm
- and build a stronger mindset that leads to lasting change

If you’re ready for fun, upbeat classes that challenge you and lift you up from the inside out, Shay’s your girl. Tap in and let the journey shape you. Shay’s BeatBody class is Monday and Wednesday at 5pm!
