Meet Missy Goss-Coln

About the Founder

A yoga practitioner for almost 20 years, Missy Goss-Coln experienced a life-changing shift when she learned how yoga is more than a “workout” and actually a tool for personal and collective transformation. Yoga offered Missy healing and liberation throughout her journey spanning corporate America and business school to non-profit work, from San Francisco to Atlanta. 

Missy decided to make the leap into social entrepreneurship after finally seeing herself reflected in a yoga space a decade into her practice. She launched Justflo Wellness not only to increase representation and foster a sense of belonging in Western yoga, but to shift the narrative of who well-being is for.
