“Sometimes the movement between postures is more important than the posture”

As a full time yoga instructor, Jason feels he has truly found his calling. Jason has been practicing yoga for five years and has been teaching for three. Even before his enlistment in the Army, he has always pursued a lifestyle of health and wellness. Jason has studied traditional martial arts for decades and first learned about meditation and moving meditation in a dojo. He is constantly finding parallels in the eight limbs of yoga and everyday life - focusing on his “off the mat” practice every day.

Jason has a particular interest in meditation, niyamas, and the koshas (the five “bodies”) and he readily teaches what he’s learned and experienced in or out of the studio.

He studied under Radika Priya Sakhi in the Open Doors 200 hour program and Shawn Corneilson in his 300 hour program.

His asana classes have been shaped by many years of healthy movement and anatomy focused cues. Jason prefers teaching students what to look for in their asana practice instead of teaching shapes. His classes can sometimes be rigorous, but he is always ready to suggest ways to make your practice more accessible to you. Jason will readily workshop postures during a class to help students develop a deeper understanding of their asana practice.

When he isn’t on the mat, Jason is often working with his hands making all manner of things from wood, metal and stone.
