Welcome to My Playground,
where recess is intentional, playdates build connection, and field trips spark growth.

Hi, I’m Yolonda Deon Tyler, a Mindful Play Consultant helping professionals and organizations integrate mindfulness and play into their culture in meaningful, sustainable ways. 

Think of my work as a blend of recess for the nervous system, playdates for creating community, and field trips for the mind. Through speaking, strategy, and wellness facilitation, I design experiences that invite people to move, breathe, imagine, and reconnect, meeting each audience exactly where they are.

At the heart of everything I do is a deep belief that play is not extra, it’s essential!
