Yoga

Yoga classes are focused on the unique needs of each student .

We explore the subtleties and relationship of both breath (pranayama) and form (asana)

Physical props (blocks, straps, chairs etc.) are utilized to enable each student to access various poses.

Yogic concentration  (Dharana) techniques are applied to cultivate a more contemplative approach.

These classes will give the student the tools to cultivate and implement a healthy self-practice.

Jean started teaching Yoga in 2006 at the Yoga Room in Encinitas. Since then he has had the privilege of studying under the tutelage of Sherry Schreck, Pandit Raj Kumar Vajpayee Yogacharya (Varanasi), Carolyn Belko , Tim Miller, Timo Jimenez, most recently Richard Freeman and Mary Taylor (2014 Month long teachers intensive). 

He has taught vinyasa, restorative, chair yoga, kids yoga, meditation and helped lead teacher trainings at various studios in North County San Diego. 

 In his classes he examines the inward subtleties of Ujjayi Pranayama (breath) and its application to an Asana practice (yogic postures) that utilizes props to enable healthy alignment and pranic (energetic) integrity. Jean has been greatly influenced by both Ashtanga and Iyengar systems and is primarily concerned with the meditative states of awareness that a transformative practice such as Hatha Yoga can reveal to us.

Some of the studios Jean  has taught at include The Willows Encinitas, Soleil Yoga Cardiff, YogaBound Carlsbad, Bliss Yoga Leucadia, Synergy Yoga Encinitas, White Peacock Yoga Encinitas , Soulshine Yoga, Haute Yoga Solana Beach, Blacksheep Yoga Oceanside and Yoga Tropics West.
