Jasmine Wright

Jasmine Wright embarked on her yoga journey in 2014 while studying Dance at the University of Washington, where Ashtanga Yoga was part of the curriculum. This practice helped heal a hamstring injury, solidifying her belief in yoga's restorative benefits. Her path to becoming a yoga teacher began during the pandemic after resigning from a career as a police officer. Jasmine had long taught classical dance and saw yoga as a complementary practice. She completed her teacher training online with Crystal Gray Yoga, appreciating the inclusive and healing approach emphasized by her instructor.

 

Jasmine's background in dance, with a BA in Dance and a Minor in Music, deeply informs her yoga teaching. She specializes in Slow-flow Vinyasa, focusing on building heat with slow strength and allowing time to truly arrive in each posture. Her students can expect a comfortable and trustworthy environment, guided by Jasmine’s calm and adaptive presence.

In her daily life, Jasmine incorporates yoga through pranayama (deep breathing) to manage stress and anxiety. She believes in making yoga accessible and adaptable to modern life, practicing wherever she can, whether in a studio, her backyard, or living room, often accompanied by calming music and candles to create a mini-retreat atmosphere.

 

Currently, Jasmine offers Slow-flow Vinyasa and Moving Meditation classes and hopes to expand into dance fitness and Barre classes in the future. She aims to inspire perseverance and a recognition of the higher power within us all.
