Jade Webb
At the heart of Jade’s yoga offerings is her curiosity about the spiritual experience of being human, and how through the body we can both tell and transform the stories about our life, and about life in general.
Her holistic approach draws from and hopes to integrate: the self-awareness and energy-balancing tools of Kripalu Yoga, the postural alignment principles of Iyengar Yoga, the deep nurturing of Restorative Yoga, and the non-dual philosophies of the East and West.
Her personal meditation and yoga practices inform her classes from a place of direct experience. Jade is also a Massage Therapist and Yoga Therapist and has been enjoying working with people from all walks of life, in various parts of the world, for over 20 years.
