FAVORITE YOGA music: Anything played by the Shakti teachers gets me moving and grooving!
TRAINING: Shakti yoga university 200HR & Baptiste institute level 1
FAV SHAKTI CLASS (TO PRACTICE): My favorite Shakti class to practice is power hour. It's the best hour I get to spend with myself and in community with others. Power hour is truly an hour of power, an opportunity to drop the performance and return to myself.
WHO jaclyn IS FOR SHAKTI: I want to contribute to the Shakti community by showing up as my authentic self and actively facilitating an environment that invites students to do the same. I want to be a leader, a supporter, a listener, a friend, and a student for this community.
WHY SHAKTI: I started going to Shakti because I wanted to start practicing yoga after a long break. I stayed for the incredible community, the opportunity to teach, and the continual work of becoming that this place offers.
J.E.D.I (JUSTICE, EQUITY, DIVERSITY, INCLUSION) COMMITMENTS: Justice- Donating funds to Shakti scholarship Equity- Decolonizing syllabi, classroom, and language. Diversity- Diversifying social media Inclusion- Amplifying the voices of Black women in research
BIGGEST TAKEAWAY FROM THE YOGA PRACTICE: My current biggest takeaway is that yoga knows no boundaries and it can look like a hell of a lot of things. Off the mat = yoga too.
