THE VISION

I want to have a space and community for people to feel comfortable unwinding as well as safe and supported to challenge themselves.  Yoga can be translated as union or a method of Self-Realization.  A simple way to practice this is feeling the opposite aspects within ourselves and then union within and around ourselves. 

Strength vs flexibility.  Sleep vs getting things done.  Enjoying a lazy moment in the sun vs being productive.  It is easy to be in a rut or feel life has derailed.  I hope our services help people find solutions right for them, right now.   Let go of limitations and expectations.  Expand with new activities and patterns.  Enjoy relaxed moments and moments you are at your edge.   This is unique to each person, not a challenge.  Having an experience that is beyond what you thought possible is powerful.  It gives you the power to decide what, where, when and how in your life.  This is being on a Yoga Path.  Finding your inner truth.   

 

JODEE'S STORY

A connection with nature was at the start of Jodee's life. 

Growing up in Jasper National Park, working with her family on back country trips, being unplugged and submersed in the natural world was home.  Jodee's love of movement and challenge shifted from training horses, to skiing, climbing, whitewater kayaking, yoga, hiking and hunting.  Jodee's love of teaching has followed her interests; guiding horseback trips, ski instructor, whitewater kayak guide and instructor, and of course yoga instructor and entrepreneur.  The desire to teach yoga is unique; her purpose is to help people move and feel better for all of lives adventures, goals and endeavors. 

Playing hard and the wipe-outs that come with the territory left Jodee with a lot of back pain that led her to yoga practice.  As a natural teacher, experiencing something so profound and beneficial, the desire to share it with others is strong.

THE YOGA PATH MISSION & PHILOSOPHY

The Yoga Path was opened to offer daily, trans-formative practices to the community of Juneau and those travelling in Alaska.  We truly believe yoga and mindful movement will benefit each and every person.  We strive to offer the highest quality instruction to our students for the fullest benefits of a practice day to day and long term.  We conduct our teaching with respect for each student, fostering a safe, sober and supportive community. 

Love your practice of becoming calm and strong on a daily basis.  To calm our breathing when we are challenged physically or emotionally is building resilience.  A yoga practice or any practice is to support our life, rather than something to simple enjoy on vacation or when we have spare time.  Being on the Yoga Path means doing what supports your lives endeavors.

It's a life changer in the most wonderful way.

TAYLOR

Taylor began practicing yoga in 2011. After sometime developing a more in-depth asana practice, she noticed the physiological and stress-relieving effects and wanted to learn more. This is when she delved into mindfulness and meditation practices. The effects on her professional and personal life were so profound that she wanted to share yoga with everyone she met. She began studying Hatha and Kriya yoga with her teacher Isabelle Casey. Taylor focuses on breath, stability and mindfulness in her classes.

CAROLYN

At seventeen Carolyn turned to meditation and yoga as tools for self healing and discovery. Since then, she has practiced yoga in at least one of it’s expressions. In NYC 2011, she was presented with the opportunity to take a teacher training course which, she accepted as a means to further deepen her own practice and support the studio at the same time. To her surprise, she discovered that she loved sharing the practice and has taken a few teacher trainings since then. She received her E-RYT 500 hr certification with Atmananda Yoga, an RYT 200 hr Kundalini and The Khalsa Way Prenatal certifications at Golden Bridge Yoga NYC, Relax & Renew Restorative training with Judith H. Lasater, Thai Yoga BodyWork with Michael Sitzer and numerous courses & workshops in between. Practicing, volunteering and teaching in NYC, Carolyn had the fortune to experience many great and diverse teachers which, she credits with influencing and aiding the growth of her practice. When teaching, she emphasises awareness of breath, movement and alignment and encourages playfulness, exploration and observation in the practice.Career opportunities in marine biology enticed her away from the city and teaching and thankfully, back to Alaska.
