A lifelong dancer, Jacqueline completed her RYT 200 certification at Spirit Yoga in 2018. Spirit has been her home since the day she moved to San Diego.

In her teaching, she emphasizes the connection of the breath to the mind, body and spirit through movement. Her classes focus on proper alignment and engagement, development of the self, and the connection of the physical practice to yoga philosophy. Jacqueline encourages students to show up authentically and discover that the yoga practice are invaluable tools in and out of the studio.
