San Diego-based yoga instruction serving multiple communities in multiple locations. For children my style incorporates music, books, and crafts into yoga-oriented play, where I (hope to) inspire mindfulness, and help them learn how to energize as well as calm with the breath.

About Me

My name is Jackie Gadd, and I am a San Diego-based yoga instructor who serves multiple communities at multiple locations.

I have been a yoga enthusiast and practitioner since early 2004, when I went into the practice to help heal my body during a time of physical and emotional illness.

My love for teaching blossomed when I was asked to volunteer teach for a local public school's fifth grade girls mentoring program. That inspired me to train specifically in yoga for children, which has become a lifestyle and lifetime commitment to bring the joy of yoga to every individual, child and family that I can.

I have multiple accreditation in children’s yoga, and my E-RYT200 and RPYT (perinatal) with Yoga Alliance. My original RYT200 is from the Himalayan tradition-based Yoga Well Center of San Diego and the RPYT is from Becalmed Yoga. I most recently received my 65 hour certification from Yoga Heals Us in Therapeutic Yoga for Multiple Sclerosis (aka Teaching Yoga for Multiple Sclerosis). I have a vested interest in understanding and explaining the connection between yoga functional movement to maximize the mind/body/breath experience.

For children my style incorporates music, books, and crafts into yoga-oriented play, where I (hope to) inspire mindfulness, and help them learn how to energize as well as calm with the breath.
