“Yoga has given me so much, and through my practice, I feel called to give back — not only to my local community but also to women and children in India. India holds a special place in my heart as it is the home of my ancestral lineage. With that deep connection, I understand that supporting women and children there also helps to heal and release generational trauma, guided by the timeless, interwoven wisdom of yoga. I am incredibly grateful to have found a connection with Yoga Gives Back. It’s a wonderful platform with a profound mission, allowing me to practice and teach yoga while also serving a cause that is so close to my heart.”
Born into a heritage deep in yogic tradition, yoga came naturally to Jaina (@yogawithjaina), who started practicing to manage her health in her early teens. Yoga soon became more than a physical practice when she discovered the power of meditation. With her developing awareness of the body, mind, heart and soul she trained to become a yoga teacher in 2010 realising that she wanted to share her love and passion for yoga with others who can benefit from this age-old tradition. www.yogawithjaina.com
Through her training Jaina became an advocate for providing safe spaces for women. She went on to host many women’s retreats allowing women to come together to tap into and nourish their inner wisdom. Her teachings work predominantly on the heart space to help others cultivate a deep sense of self-love. Jaina trained in pregnancy yoga in 2015 and has gone on to teach pregnancy yoga and become a mother herself. She is a Senior Yoga and Meditation teacher who is a member of Yoga Alliance Professionals UK. She has taught an array of private clients, public classes, workshops, retreats and events.
