About Sondra Woods Fellows

Online Yoga, Pilates & Mindfulness Coach

I’m Sondra, a certified wellness coach, fitness and yoga instructor who helps adults 40+ feel stronger, calmer, and more at home in their bodies, without needing a perfect schedule or a gym membership.

After more than two decades in high-pressure corporate roles (including 22 years as Advertising & Creative Director at the Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk), I know what it feels like to run on empty. I also know how powerful simple, consistent movement and mindfulness can be when they’re designed for real life. That experience is why I created Mindful Impact Wellness: an online studio of practical, accessible classes you can do on your own time.

Why I Created Mindful Impact

I wanted a place where people could practice yoga, Pilates, barre, strength, and meditation without intimidation or intensity for its own sake. The classes are gentle enough for beginners or anyone dealing with stiffness and stress, yet effective enough that you’ll notice real changes in how you feel. Whether you’re managing a busy career, supporting a family, navigating life transitions, or simply ready to move with more ease, the goal is the same: help you reconnect with yourself through movement that actually fits your life.
