Five different levels of membership, why?
I believe health, wellness, self care, should be available to everyone, regardless of ability to pay. I have created five different levels of membership to hopefully accommodate all folx, allowing those with more to pay more, and those with less to pay less, all levels offer the exact same membership experience with the exception of “supporter all access rainbow” - rainbow level also includes two 30 min private sessions or one 60 min private session as a special thank you for supporting our community so generously. I also offer the “next level mindfulness journey” this includes weekly private phone or zoom meet ups (just you and I talking mindfulness) in addition to all the classes I offer.
the most popular level is for most folx

“This a a wonderful day. I’ve never seen this one before.”

this is yoga
“Yoga with Jeffrey inspired by the ferryman and the river in ‘Siddhartha’ by Hermann Hesse. Every time I read this book, it takes on new meaning, and brings new inspiration. We should all strive to be the river: continuous, unbroken, unpredictable, filled with life and possibility in every turn and twist. May every breath, every micro moment be our past, our present, our future. Seem too magical? Dare to lean into your mortality. Time is fleeting, every conscious moment has the power to be your first, last, only moment. Make that moment everything. This is done with full awareness and complete surrender into nowness. Let us breathe completely into the now together. Let us be the river.”

ryt200 (registered yoga teacher)
My yoga journey started over 20 years ago. Around 15 years ago yoga became a foundation of my life after finding the Chicago yoga community. Around five years ago yoga awakened spirituality and energy within me that I had forgotten about or didn’t even realize was a part of me. To be clear, this is not a path leading to religion - this is a journey to self discovery that will transform your body and mind. I studied under Claire Mark, Amy Owen, Quinn Kearney and Jenny Kaufman at Yogaview Chicago, earning my 200 hour yoga teacher certification. I continued my education under Kimberly Dunn and Darrell Jones at Chill Anywhere Chicago, earning my 100 hour guided meditation certification. My personal goal is to always be a student. Although I am a certified yoga teacher and guided meditation coach, I am always looking to take new workshops and courses. The more active I am in my student life, the better teacher I believe I will become. I’ll see you out there as teacher and student. Let us heal, nourish, and grow together.
be you
intention
“Yoga is always being receptive. The teacher learns that the more receptive they are, the more they have to give. So simple. I never want to be the authority - just a student, a pupil, studying then gathering with other students to share what we have learned so we may all commune in knowledge. The teacher is our wonder, and our curiosity. We are all the student.
stay curious, be wonderful”
comments students have made -
“I am a changed person."
after twenty five - ninety minute private sessions with jeff at their home in chicago (just over 12 weeks)
"I sleep better, I feel better, and I am stronger."
chicago student
“I was unsure of a long distance facetime yoga session. I’ve been hooked since my first.”
EU student
“I am fighting osteoporosis. My doctor suggested more physicality. I never expected so much from yoga."
Chicago Student
“I was skeptical in the beginning, thinking my yoga-high was a fluke, being a facetime yoga class. Nope! Still feeling that very real yoga-high every time.”
eu student
“Jeff reminds me to breathe. I need that. I will always need that. We all need that. Simple, yes, but being reminded to breathe is beautiful. Thank you, Jeff. I needed to breathe. Yes, I breathe on my own, we all do, just not enough. Taking deep ujjayi breaths while writing this. Thank you, Jeff.”
Chicago Student
private and group classes
Let us breathe, move, and be mindful together.
truth
We will dive into physicality and mindfulness. We will find compassion, empathy, strength, vulnerability. Together on our journey we will unlock more physical and emotional possibility. In your first session, you will feel immediate results. After ten sessions, your life will be changed.
