The Yoga Experience Teachers...

Jamie Axelrod, Anusara-Inspired Yoga Teacher™

In 2000, while living in rural Wyoming, Jamie discovered yoga as a way to engage an inner impulse to connect to something greater. This led him to his first yoga teacher Nancy Watkins who, within a year, brought a “new,” heart-centered orientation to her classes. The heart-centered focus came from Anusara Yoga® workshops she had attended. This approach resonated so deeply for Jamie that within months he was attending his first workshop with John Friend in Park City, Utah. The trips to Park City became yearly outings culminating with a Level 1 teacher training in 2006 and a Master immersion in 2007. In between trips to Park City, Jamie studied with Certified Anusara Instructor Sundari in Driggs, Id. as well as attending numerous Anusara workshops. These experiences established for Jamie an abiding interest in the philosophical underpinnings of Anusara Yoga. In 2004 Jamie began teaching and codirecting the Limber Body Limber Mind Yoga Co-Op in Lander, Wyoming.

Since moving to Flagstaff in August 2007 to work for NAU, Jamie has been exploring canyon country and finding new favorite spots to go bouldering, climbing, and hiking. The embrace of the Flagstaff Kula has been a true blessing.
