JAMIE'S passion for yoga began in 2006 while doing research in New Zealand. It was there that she was first introduced to Yoga and Eastern Philosophy. The physical, mental, and spiritual benefits of yoga were immediately apparent to her, and so began her yogic journey.

Jamie’s life long study of dance & movement coupled with her love of yoga, have influenced her teaching style and philosophy.  Jamie strives to help students at any level feel accepted, supported, and safe as they gently begin to explore movement and postures-(Asana) within their bodies. Her teaching style encompasses the 8 fold path of yoga, through the incorporation of meditation, philosophy, and breath work in many of her classes. She also attempts to help students raise self awareness and build confidence while exploring their natural life path. Her main objective in teaching is to share yoga’s ancient wisdom in a fun, welcoming, and enthusiastic way.

In the spring of 2010, through intensive study at Yoga North in Duluth, MN, Jamie received her 200hr level Yoga Alliance Teaching Certification in the style of Hatha Yoga derived from the Himalayan Tradition.  She has been an instructor for CENTER in Grand Rapids, MN since that time.
