General

I’m new to yoga. Where do I start?

I teach accessible, all levels classes. Movements and shapes are uncomplicated and simple so that a new student can understand yet nuanced and detailed so that an experienced student can refine.

If you’re intimidated to try yoga in a studio environment, I recommend that you check out my virtual yoga membership. As a Karma yogi, you can try out a complimentary monthly audio class to begin your practice.

What should I wear to practice yoga?

You do not need to own a pair of Lulus to practice yoga. Wear what makes you comfortable and allows you to move without restraint.

Should I eat before practicing yoga?

Like most physical activities, you should avoid practicing yoga right after a large meal. Give yourself a buffer to digest. Yoga is best practiced on an empty stomach.

Do I need props for my practice?

I like to keep my yoga sessions as simple as possible. At most, you might need two blocks (or books), a strap and a blanket. Props are always optional and used to help you support your practice.

Do you play music during your classes?

Yes. Music plays an integral role for me in a yoga class as a student and teacher. You can learn more about my approach to music and browse my playlists here.

I have a medical condition. Should I practice yoga?

Always consult with a medical practitioner to confirm whether yoga is an appropriate practice for your condition.

I love your content. Can I make a one-time donation?

Yes! I put a lot of energy into creating affordable content that will best serve your needs, and I am always grateful for any additional support. Any one-time donations can be sent by e-transfer to connect@jafferyoga.com.

What styles of yoga do you teach?

I teach power vinyasa flow, slow flow + yin, slow flow and yin. Learn more about each class type here.

Where can I practice yoga with you?

private yoga

Do you teach private yoga?

Yes, I teach private yoga sessions customized to your needs, whether you’re looking for a private class for yourself, a group of friends, a special occasion or a team building activity at work. Learn more here.

Do you teach private workshops/events?

Yes, I teach private workshops/events. Reach out here to let me know what you’re looking for, and I’ll let you know how I can support your workshop/event.

Do you teach corporate yoga?

Yes, I teach one-time and ongoing corporate yoga classes to help cultivate a sense of calm and community within the workplace. Due to COVID, all corporate classes are held virtually. If you’re interested in organizing a corporate session, please reach out here.

How long is each session?

A yoga session doesn’t need to be 60 minutes to have a positive impact. My goal is to help you choose a length of time that you can fit into your day. My private yoga sessions range in length according to your needs; they can be anywhere from 45 to 90 minutes.


Mentorship

I’m a yoga teacher looking for the support of a mentor. Do you offer mentorships?

Yes! My yoga mentorship is about setting the foundations to have a successful career in teaching yoga, whether you’ve recently completed a training or need help getting more classes. Learn more about my mentorship options here.

How long does the mentorship program last?

The mentorship program lasts for 6 weeks. During that time, we will have 3 coaching calls and you will be assigned homework and reflection between each call.

Can I pay for additional coaching calls?

Yes! You can add additional coaching calls either during or after the mentorship. Extra calls are available at a rate of $125/hour.


virtual yoga membership

Why do you record live audio classes?

I record live audio classes to create an authentic experience. By hearing an occasional cough or collective exhale, my audio classes allow you to feel like you’re practicing in a community environment, from the comfort of your home.

Why is the Devoted Yogi membership only $10 per month?

I believe yoga should be an affordable practice, so I have designed my membership to be accessible to your budget. For less than the cost of a drop-in class, you will get unlimited access to a growing library of classes and two new classes each month so you can practice yoga anywhere, anytime. Just roll out your mat, pop-in your earbuds and hit play.

I’m new to yoga. Will I be able to practice audio-only classes?

Yes. I prioritize clear, simple cues in my yoga practice so that you can really focus on experiencing the nuances of each movement and shape in your body, rather than trying to mimic a teacher or students around you. This helps you lay the foundation for a strong yoga practice.

Can I access the membership from my phone?

Yes, you sign-in to your membership through the mobile-friendly version of my website and can either play the class in the embedded Soundcloud player or through the Soundcloud app.
