“I did my Thai Massage Training with Jaina and Beloved Retreats and she customized to my schedule, met with me 1:1 and has such a warm and accepting energy. She’s a great leader in the yoga community.”
Nicki
“Jaina’s Teacher Training was transformative for my practice, teaching skills, and wellbeing. Given the chance to do it all over again, I would … only sooner.”
Kirk
“Jaina enlivens the practice of yoga, the teaching of asana, the mystery of tradition for her students. The training is unique in the depth that it covers important yogic texts, nutrition, asana, personal practice, dharma talk and aligning with one’s highest intention. Over the three months of training, I was personally invigorated by the intensity and enthusiasm Jaina has for yoga and I certainly realized a new depth and magic in my personal practice and in my ability to teach yoga to others. Highly recommended for any yoga enthusiast.”
