JAZMIN MENT
E-RYT 500, YACEP, UZIT
When not teaching or practicing yoga, you can probably find Jazmin in the ocean surfing or in the mountains seeking solace in vast landscapes. Fun fact: She used to be an acrobat in the circus. Thanks to her mom, who insisted she do yoga with her, yoga and meditation have been integral to most of her life.
She's practiced Iyengar and other forms of yoga since she was a little girl and still consider herself a student first and always. With thousands of hours of study and 500+ accredited teacher training hours (E-RYT 500), her understanding of yoga, meditation, the human body, and well-being is extensive and heartfelt. She initially studied to become a yoga teacher with Ganga White and Tracy Rich. She then completed her in-depth 300-hr teacher training with world-renowned teachers Colleen Saidman Yee and Rodney Yee. She considers Rodney and Colleen her primary teachers and has studied with them since she was 15 years old.
Through creative and thoughtful sequencing, postural technique, and hopefully a little humor, Jazmin's classes are a vessel to explore honest self-inquiry, deep listening, potent rest, and radical joy. Her teaching style incorporates her deep-rooted background in Iyengar yoga with the fluid evolution of Vinyasa yoga and its older sister Ashtanga yoga. Her approach is rooted in postural alignment, yoga therapy, human anatomy and physiology, pranayama (breath), and meditation. It is with great devotion and gratitude that she shares this gift of yoga with you.
