Yoga & Meditation

Jerry Givens is an experienced 500-hour certified teacher of Tantric Hatha Yoga and Meditation. He began practicing in 2006 and has been teaching since 2008. His teachings focus on creating accessible experiences of mind-body connection through scientific sequencing of postures, breathwork, and meditation.

With over a decade of experience working in corporate offices, hospitality, small businesses, and leading culture at tech companies, he helps to create lifestyle harmony between personal values and actions in the business world through corporate wellness programming. His methods are informed by both modern and ancient psychological models of Self-understanding, including yoga psychology and Internal Family Systems Therapy.
