Jelayna found yoga in 2006. By 2010 it had become her constant companion helping to heal her body and mind after 10 years of competitive rowing, including 4 years on scholarship at the University of Kansas. Graduating with a degree in psychology, she went on to coach many athletes at home and abroad. In 2013, she completed her 250 hour teacher training at Yoga Tree studios and followed this with a 100 hour hands-on adjustments and Mysore training at Downward Dog studio. At the start of 2020 she completed her 40 hour Yin Yoga Training with Shawna Turner. Her classes are moving meditations, intended to guide students into a deeper relationship with themselves by leading them through methodical flows awakening the connection between mind, body and spirit. Encouraging students with light-hearted humour and challenging boundaries with creative sequencing, her hope is to leave students feeling centered and refreshed, ready to take their yoga off the mat and into their day to day lives.
