Hi! I'm Jaime
Welcome to the Open Circles! I’m Jaime. I grew up in Carlstadt, NJ, went to college in Maryland, danced on a cruise ship in Hawaii, and moved to San Diego on a whim where I met my now partner and had our son. We just moved back to NJ and I’m excited to share my yoga practice with you!
I found yoga while I was in college. It began as a means to support my dance training at the time, but found it was providing relief for my mental and emotional health (something I struggled with and continue to work on). I sought out yoga classes for years after that. I knew there was more to it than the physical postures we did in class, and I wanted to learn more. I completed my yoga teacher training in 2017 during my time in San Diego. I love to share this “medicine” with others, and I enjoy finding ways to share it beyond the physical postures.
My intention is to hold space for you to look within and make adjustments as you see fit. We are unique individuals - searching for what sparks our joy, looking for others we can connect to, and craving peace in our daily lives. I am simply finding my way through this world, (as I imagine you are) searching for what feels right for me.
My Story
I faced my share of anxiety and depression from a young age. It wasn’t until college that I discovered yoga, and I was amazed at the mental and clarity I felt after each class. This journey led me to study mindfulness, equipping me with the tools to take control of my thoughts and emotions, rather than letting them control me. I now strive to empower others to find their own sense of balance and peace.
Contact
I'm always looking to connect with others who want more joy and peace in their lives.
