Jaspah Marques

Jaspah first discovered yoga in 2005 as a way of managing the demands of his corporate job. Over the following years, Jaspah’s journey with yoga deepened as he experimented with various styles from a range of lineages and traditions.

Jaspah teaches from experience. His teaching combines movement, stillness, meditation, and breath with an emphasis on the qualities of softness, compassion, and self-acceptance to identify and release resistance (tension/stress) and relax into the greater sense of calm, stability and wholeness that is inherent and available within our original nature. Practicing with Jaspah is an invitation to turn inwards, to contemplate and move beyond the thoughts and ideas that we have about ourselves, to consciously use each moment as an opportunity to meet and embrace life as it is and over time develop an inner trust. Ultimately, the goal of his teaching is to provide an opportunity to connect with the inner spring of strength, vitality, and quiet stillness found deep inside each one of us.
