Jeff Nelson

Yoga Instructor

Jeff is originally from Texas where he engaged in endurance sports of many types including marathon, canoeing, road and mountain biking, and ultra-running. Graduate school for exercise physiology and job opportunities brought him to the mountain states where he has been since.

He found yoga and or shall it be said that yoga found him in 2013. He took a power yoga class and a 90-minute hot class. It was awesome. It was challenging. A yoga practice provides a complementary foundation that supports any other activity that you are doing. In short order, he signed up for power and subsequently hot yoga teacher trainings.

He is amazed at the benefits to the body, mind, and spirit one can receive from yoga. One take away message from yoga is that it is indeed a lifelong journey. It provides many lessons and golden nuggets along the way. It is a means by which one can fine-tune the body, mind, and spirit on multiple levels. It has been quite a journey into the physical and spiritual realms of yoga and has provided an enlightened perspective of the discipline. He was amazed of learning of the balances and imbalances of muscle and tendon function and the implication this has on performance physiology. Jeff sees yoga as a lifelong journey and looks forward to sharing the discipline with others. During classes that he teaches, Jeff will engage the student to connect with the workout and tap into the strength within.
