"Very insightful and 100% worth it..."
“When I started taking classes with Jade, I could tell that Yoga isn't just a movement practice for her. It's a lifestyle. She embodies the practice of yoga. She embodies the principles of yogic philosophy. I really liked her teaching style. She's very disciplined. Very into anatomy, and not just the shapes and the movements in the asana practice. Her classes felt very holistic and well rounded. There's the physical aspect, obviously, the movement, but there was also the philosophical, the anatomical, and the spiritual. I really connected with all of that.” ~ Maria White
