Yoga Instructor Jamie
Jamie started practicing yoga in 2008 and fell in love with it. He found it nearly impossible to think about anything other than what was happening on the mat. This focus on the breath and the body felt great, important and sacred. That passion led him to yoga workshops, retreats and eventually teacher training at West Hartford Yoga in 2011. Jamie’s teaching style is a unique blend of all that he’s learned and continues to learn from his personal life, his teachers and students. He loves his students, and loves sharing yoga with them.
