She's studied yogic science all over the world with so many wonderful teachers.
Jema has dual certifications through Yoga Alliance, E-RYT200, and International Yoga Federation, IYFT500, with well over 1500 contact hours of formal training in mind and body practices, 12 years of teaching experience, and a Master of Education. Her yoga asana classes emphasize awareness of 'the intelligent edge', the space where effort and ease come together in a yoga practice (and all movement!
), and can be tailored to any level. You can find her at Body & Seoul, MindBodySoul, or book for private/group lessons in your living room/office/anywhere! Her fasting programs highlight the mental, as well as the physical benefits, of abstaining from food periodically, and are gentle and accessible for all. The goal being to experience fasting in one's own personal environment, with help, and grow in a different way from center detoxing. In 2003, she experienced her first fast under the guidance of Sikh faith Kundalini yogis Sada Sat Singh and Gurmukh. From that time on, fasting became a personal, bi-annual ritual, she has experimented with almost every detox program available, and completed over 25 fasts. As a lifelong sufferer of rosacea, and auto-immune skin issues, she became very interested in ingredients, and after realizing that products were causing more problems than they were helping, she started making her own essentials. Finding that homemade serums worked better than any she had owned before was a wonderful discovery! Hair and scalp mask came about as an aid for fasting and it was so wonderful, it became part of a weekly ritual! Her products contain only the ingredients you need and nothing harmful or toxic; they're even perfectly edible (though not delicious:P)! She is committed to simple, readily understandable and applicable lifestyle changes for radiant mental and physical health.
