Jada started practicing yoga consistently over 10 years ago. However, at that time it was more of a last resort type of “physical” activity for her. At a fairly young age Jada was riddled with illnesses; she felt excruciating pain throughout her body every single day and could barely walk to the end of the street without taking a rest. After multiple surgeries, doctors and prescription meds she decided to try yoga. She remembers not even moving in those beginning classes to eventually trying more and more each time mostly because she liked the heat and the music. Often times she felt like she didn’t really belong as she was really overweight and could barely do any of the postures like those around her but something inside told her to stay. It then began to turn into a practice that would save Jada’s life. Jada started to see things change quickly, like leaving with a smile on her face and this being a profound reaction at the time. The sun shone a little brighter and eventually she started to see her body, health and mind transform. Eventually able to take less and less pain meds, she couldn’t wait to get back into a class! Jada felt stronger with a new sense of purpose in her life. As she allowed herself to connect deeper within and take the time and space to listen to what her body and mind needed, it evolved and started to heal. As she started to heal she felt more drawn to sharing this gift with others. Jada is now a Registered Yoga Teacher (RYT),  Reiki master and is currently in Shamanic studies.  With multiple teacher trainings from Ryan Leier & One Yoga (which includes 200hr Vinyasa Krama, flow and 200hr yoga leadership certifications), 100hr Maya Yoga Method with Nicki Doane, 50hr Iyengar restorative with Father Joe Pereira, 25hr Yoga Nidra, Pranayama 15hr with Srivatsa Ramaswami, youth yoga training from Vinyasa Yoga for Youth,  and Yin/Restorative yoga training with Brandon Jacobs and Heather Gazley through Empowered Yoga. Jada is also trained as a certified Barre Instructor, worked years as a life coach and has completed her Reiki Master certification (levels 1, 2,& 3). Her trauma informed learning continues as she delves into Yoga therapy, Sound Healing Therapy and Shamanic studies.  Jada’s first love is to be the student, so you will often see her beside her family or you on your mat at all of the different types of classes and trainings!! When you don’t see Jada on her mat you can usually find her hanging out in the sunshine with her family, Jay and Charlie. 

Jada’s intention for her yoga practice and offerings is to create a space for love and healing no matter how that looks, so if you’ve ever wondered about what this practice looks and feels like for you, she can be that voice for you and encourage you to stay as she once did 💕

Jada also teaches through:                                                           Vinyasa Yoga for Youth                                             https://www.vyfy.ca
