Jaye has been involved within the field of teaching for over 14 years. Formerly an educator of the Montessori Method for young children, she found herself “called” to India this past summer where she taught English in a village primary school. Her interest in Eastern culture and philosophy along with her passion for yoga inspired her to recently complete a yoga teacher certification in the beautiful, volcanic region of Lake Atitlan, Guatemala. In her vinyasa classes, Jaye presents a series of asanas representing both the physical and spiritual practice of yoga. Drawing on her previous experience with Iyengar yoga, proper alignment is reviewed and modifications are demonstrated to assist all levels. The postures are balanced with simple breathing techniques as well as an overall awareness of our bodies energetic systems providing a basic framework for self-exploration, healing and rejuvenation.

Yoga brings balance to my life, a union of body, mind and spirit. I am blessed to have wonderful teachers that help me practice the eight limbs both on and off the mat. I try to carry the Ashtanga tradition in class, but the yoga is the teacher one breath at a time.
