Jake Hays Vinyasa Instructor
Jake Hays' personal journey to yoga began as a weightlifter with a desire to increase his flexibility and strength. Not only did yoga significantly improve his athletic stamina, it brought him new-found peace, awareness, self-acceptance, and self-love. These values are the foundation of his teaching path, which he shares with his students, encouraging everyone to experience their own practice as a journey of discovery by tapping into the energy of radical self-acceptance.
Jake’s extensive knowledge of body types has benefited the many students and athletes he teaches with purposeful modifications and adaptations.
Jake’s yoga teaching philosophy is influenced by his athletic background and his belief that yoga is for EVERY body, regardless of gender, size and physical limitations. Through his teaching, Jake invites students to fully experience yoga, including breath awareness, mindfulness and enhanced flexibility, to enhance their strength building and body awareness. He welcomes every student with an open heart by fostering an atmosphere of respect, fun, and judgement-free self-discovery. Jake is dedicated to sharing his ongoing study of yoga, pranayama, reiki, meditation, and wellness modalities with all his students.
Jake trained at Yoga on High and received his RYT-200 in 2014. He is also a Reiki Master Teacher and has certifications and specializations in Yoga for Athletes, Pranayama, Restorative, and Trauma Sensitive Yoga. In October 2016, his work with underserved youth was recognized with a “Distinguished Community Partner of 2016” award given by Kaleidoscope Youth Center.
