Alana Weathersbee
Facilitator
My teaching approach is centered around slow, steady, and mindful movements, which I believe is a powerful way to go beyond your mind and ego. I love anatomy and alignment, and my true passion lies in creative, exploratory, and meditative movements.
​
I focus on fostering strength, stability, and mobility. My desire is to help you cultivate a sense of being both grounded and expansive, while also feeling centered and relaxed. When we allow our bodies to express their own stories, we start to peel away the layers of shame and judgment that hinder us. This process helps us release personal narratives that block our ability to experience true joy.
​
Our belief systems serve as blueprints for our emotions, thoughts, and actions, shaping the reality we experience. It’s not just our minds that have been influenced; our bodies have undergone this transformation as well. Dive deeper into yourself, make room for greater peace and joy in your life. Move beyond your mind and embrace your body. This journey empowers us to love ourselves completely and unconditionally.

Facilitator
In today’s fast-paced world, it’s easy to feel isolated, disconnected, and overwhelmed by stress. With compassion and a deep sense of care, I offer a space for you to be truly heard, where you can express what’s on your mind and feel seen. Through deep listening and thoughtful communication, I aim to support you in releasing the tension and heaviness that may be weighing on you.
Based on what you need, I may also introduce somatic therapy techniques, which help to address both the body and mind. By gently soothing the discomfort within, the body can naturally find its way back to balance and its full capacity for healing and regulation. My goal is to help you feel more grounded, calm, and at peace in both body and mind.
You deserve to feel balanced and whole, and I’m here to walk with you on that journey.
Haley Bonilla
Facilitator
As a yoga teacher and massage therapist, I am passionate about self-trust, embodiment, and the deep connection between body, mind, and spirit. I believe that healing begins with awareness, and my approach is rooted in meeting yourself exactly where you are—without judgment, only curiosity.
Through intuitive movement and nervous system regulation, I encourage others to honor their sensations, expand self-awareness, and cultivate a sense of trust within themselves. Passionate about anatomy and the wisdom of the body, I am always exploring ways to bring movement, mindfulness, and self-inquiry into harmony. To me, yoga is not just about what happens on the mat—it’s about how we show up for ourselves in each moment, how we listen, and how we grow.
At love light fest, I am excited to be part of a community that values presence, connection, and self-exploration. Whether through movement, conversation, or simply sharing space, I hope to inspire others to embrace the present moment with gratitude and compassion.

The Birth Of SunagoLife:
A Journey from Firelight to Community Light
The idea for SunagoLife was born by the glow of a fire. Sitting there feeling the warmth of the flames and the calm of the surrounding nature, a profound sense of purpose took root in our hearts. The fire seemed to mirror the light within us—a light longing to connect people through wellness, community, and the universal energy of love.
In that moment, something extraordinary was envisioned. Not just a company, but a movement—a way to bring together individuals passionate about wellness and community. It wasn’t just about providing services or experiences; it was about creating a space where people could connect with their people, those who shared their desire to live healthier, more joyful lives.
Out of that night’s reflections, the idea for a Wellness Festival was born. A vibrant gathering was imagined that would weave together the diverse threads of our community, filling Fredericksburg with love, light, and the shared energy of human connection.
​
This wasn’t just about hosting an event—it was a call to action. A way to unite local fitness instructors, nutritionists, mental health advocates, holistic practitioners, and creatives under one common goal: fostering wellness in every sense of the word.
​
From the spark of inspiration that night, SunagoLife has grown into a mission-driven company. It’s about more than just yoga or sound healing—it’s about creating a lifestyle, a place where everyone can feel seen, supported, and celebrated. And at the heart of it all is the promise of the Love Light Wellness Festival, a beacon of connection, growth, and joy for our Fredericksburg community and beyond.
​
What started as a simple moment by the fire has become a guiding flame for all we’re building together. This is just the beginning.
