Jazz is a 300-hour qualified yoga teacher and found her love for yoga in her early 20’s when she started to understand the magic it was bringing to her life. Yoga continually allows Jazz to step away from all of her main roles and to come back to herself. To Jazz, yoga is so much more than movement – it’s a way of cultivating presence, compassion and self-awareness in our everyday lives. Jazz strives to embody these teachings beyond my her practice and loves to weave subtle elements of yogic philosophy into her classes.
