Whether you’re new to yoga or have years of experience, this class is for you, with you!
ABOUT THE TEACHER: Jacoby Ballard has taught yoga for 10 years with certifications from Kashi Ashram and Kripalu Yoga Center’s Advanced Teacher Training. Jacoby worked in spaces non-traditional to yoga — art studios, conference centers, homeless shelters — until co-founding Third Root, a community health center that specializes in yoga and acupuncture in Brooklyn. Jacoby came out as trans through his own practice of yoga and remains committed to transgender health. He works with dozens of trans and gender non-conforming clients and teaches many workshops on the topic, including three weekly Queer and Trans Yoga classes in New York City. Jacoby’s passion for working with students of all bodies, genders and experiences is combined with precise alignment, adapting yogic scriptures to life in the West, and offering physical challenges that honor where the body is at right now. He is in love with the study and practice of yoga and has helped to create a socially-just minded atmosphere for its study at Third Root.
