Jai’s Journey and Expertise
Jai began practicing Yoga in 1999 while living and working at Breitenbush Hot Springs Retreat and Conference Center. Since 2018, he has taught daily classes in Puerto Vallarta and online since 2019, with more than 3,500 classes taught. He is an E‑RYT 500 Yoga Teacher/Trainer with Yoga Alliance and holds additional certifications in Yin Yoga, Pranayama, Yoga Nidra, Meditation, and Aerial Yoga.
In 2025, Jai expanded his professional scope by becoming a Certified Personal Trainer and Corrective Exercise Specialist through the International Sports Sciences Association. This allows him to support clients who want structured, intelligent strength training with the same precision and care he brings to Yoga.
How Jai Works With Clients
Jai is known for his detailed eye, calm presence, and ability to make people feel capable, safe, and understood. He works especially well with clients who want thoughtful guidance, clear explanations, and a training experience that respects their body’s history while still moving them forward.
Many of Jai’s clients are in a stage of life where joint health, balance, confidence, and long‑term mobility matter just as much as strength. His approach supports these priorities without ever limiting or labeling anyone. Clients in their 40s, 50s, 60s, and 70s all feel equally seen, challenged, and supported.
He specializes in one‑on‑one work, where every session is tailored to the individual—your goals, your movement patterns, your pace.
Strength Training and Corrective Exercise
Jai designs structured, progressive resistance‑training programs for clients who want to train with purpose and protect their long‑term mobility. Every session is:
- Pre‑planned with a clear workout structure
- Tracked set‑by‑set to ensure measurable progress
- Tailored to your goals, history, and movement patterns
When you arrive, the training area is already set: equipment arranged, weights selected, and the session flow ready to go. Your time is respected, and your energy goes exactly where it should—into training.
Jai has a highly trained eye for muscle imbalance, scapular rhythm, and trapezius balance. He identifies dysfunctional patterns quickly and pivots seamlessly into corrective strategies when needed, addressing biomechanical issues the moment they appear. Clients build strength on a foundation of clean, efficient movement rather than compensation.
His programs are especially valuable for people who want to stay strong and active as they age. Training with Jai helps combat age‑related muscle loss, improve balance and joint stability, and build the kind of strength that makes everyday life feel easier. Whether you’re rebuilding strength, maintaining it, or maximizing your potential for the years ahead, Jai helps you train in a way that makes the future feel brighter, not smaller.
What to Expect in Group Yoga Classes
Flexibility, Strength, and Balance
Jai’s classes move at a thoughtful, unhurried pace with plenty of time in each pose to explore, refine, and understand your body. This slower tempo allows for deeper alignment, safer transitions, and a more meaningful mind‑body connection. Students build strength, mobility, and balance through a blend of classic and modern asanas practiced with precision and care.
Breath Control and Nervous System Regulation
Learn breath‑based movement and Pranayama techniques that cultivate presence, calm, and resilience.
Mental Discipline and Equanimity
Train the mind to stay steady under physical challenge. Jai believes the real value of Yoga is how you carry it into your daily life—how you breathe, respond, and move through the world.
Jai’s Personal Interests
Jai is an animal lover through and through. Birds, iguanas, parrots, neighborhood dogs—all are part of his extended family. He shares his home with three big dogs and four cats, and he’s been known to pause class to admire a flock of parakeets or a group of macaws flying overhead.
