Jonathan Barrett

.Faith in all. Moving at the speed of trust. Jonathan’s intention as a yoga teacher is to hold a safe space for students that encourages self exploration and growth. Primary modalities include meditation, yoga nidra, restorative yoga, yin and vinyasa flow, with emphasis placed on elasticity and the mindbody. Having grown up with a controllable form of epilepsy and experiencing multiple grand mal seizures has created a heightened sense of awareness of his central nervous system. Additionally, in ‘20-’21, he worked through a full-recovery from Guillain-Barré Syndrome. This rare autoimmune disorder causes ascending paralysis from the autoimmune system creating antibodies and mistakenly attacking its own peripheral nervous system. These experiences significantly expanded his yoga practice with a focus on the regulation of the nervous system and healing. His asana, meditation and pranayama practices have allowed himself to learn how to slackline, complete Ironman 70.3 distance triathlons (1.2 mile swim, 56 mile bike and 13.1 mile run) and also play ice hockey competitively for more than three decades. Jonathan has had the opportunity to practice at The LifeCentre Notting Hill in London, United Kingdom. He has also had the opportunity to collaborate with former NFL All-Pro linebacker and internationally renowned yogi Keith Mitchell, as well as the ASM Foundation who works with first responder agencies and veterans recovering from post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
