  • Jacqui Jarrett

    I’m a proud Dharawal & Gumbaynnirri woman, who was born on country, raised my children on country and now watching my grandchildren connecting to country. The continuation of being connected to country creates a significant cultural & spiritual realm to my practice of yoga. I wish to elevate the presence of first nations people in the domain of yoga, through educating that our spiritual; cultural practices intrinsically align with many aspects of yoga philosophies and are dated back to over 40,000 years.
