Jade Webb
RYT-500
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.
“In the entire great tradition of human wisdom the universal method is the mutual affection between two real people, the teacher-student relationship. This is not a relationship of authority over another, it is not a parent child relationship. It is one of utter mutuality. The teacher is no more than a friend and no less than friend. In this friendship real bhakti arises, not manufactured feelings for an authority or public persona, trying to get somewhere, trying to get something that seems absent most of the time. The teacher has no interest but to empower the student, to give the tools that allows the student to stand in his or her own power. When this happens true devotion, very real life long gratitude arises between two people who are obviously standing in the same garden! the same reality.”
—Mark Whitwell on the Teacher-Student Relationship
