Surrender to the flow of life and trust that all you are searching for is already within you.
This has been my story. Learning to let go and allowing myself to transform, reprogramming the limitations of the mind through stillness.

In 2015 I became a consistent yoga practitioner but found myself falling into old habits of ‘over doing it’ and exhausting myself. I had no idea what balance was or how to attain it. My life consisted of never-ending schedules, compiling as much as I could into a day and ‘to do’ lists seeking structure. Sound familiar?

In January 2020 I felt the call to take the next step in my yoga practice and committed to my first yoga teacher training. I fell in love with the healing, grounding and nourishing components of yoga. I found balance through the exploration of yogic philosophy and the practice of breath work, meditation and mantra.
I am passionate about sharing a balanced practice with holistic elements through a restorative and meditative approach. Guiding people to experience oneness and wellbeing by sharing preserved yoga wisdom and techniques and how they translate into a modern life.

I completed my first 200 YTT (Yoga Teacher Training) in Hatha and Vinyasa Yoga. While in the middle of my studies I was introduced to Akhanda yoga, a style that was different and unique to me. After the first class, I was hooked. I began my 300 YTT through Prana yoga studios to deepen my understanding of the Akhanda yoga approach almost immediately. This inspired me to travel to Anand Prakash Yoga Ashram in Rishikesh India to learn and practice under Yogrishi Vishvketu, the founder of Akhanda Yoga Institute. I returned home with a deeper knowing and willingness to surrender. I feel a profound connection to India and know that I will return soon. I look forward to sharing this practice with you. Learning and practicing mediation does not have to be so hard and we will find that out together. Big Love, Jackie!
